Crown Modification of Cylinder-Roller Bearing Raceway Using Electrochemical Abrasive Belt Grinding

Abstract

This paper researches on the theory of the crown modification of cylinder-roller bearing raceway using electrochemical abrasive belt grinding (ECABG) technology, and establishes relevant experimental device. The range of processing parameters with a better surface roughness can be obtained through experiments. On this basis, a mathematics model of distribution of material removal of electrochemical machining bearing is set up. Considering the controllability of processing parameters and demand of the surface quality, the processing parameters such as interelectrode voltage, electrolyte, interelectrode gap and cathode geometry are invariable in the experiment, and processing time is changed to control the crown value. The experimental results show that ECABG can enhance the surface quality of raceway to a great degree, and obtain the ideal forming crown at the same time under the optimum technological parameters. This paper developed a new method for the crown processing and finishing of bearing raceway.
