Abstract
From the designer’s point of view, the static precise finite element model of the single ball-raceway, the overall and the unit slice of the rolling linear guide (RLG) are established based on the limited data obtained. According to the contact characteristics of a single ball-raceway, Hertz theory and finite element method (FEM) are used to determine the maximum contact stress and deformation of RLG under a specific preload value. The specific modeling process of the overall and unit slice finite element model of the RLG is described in detail as well. The comparative analysis results indicate that the unit slice finite element model can take place of the overall finite element model at the static level. On the basis of previous research, the mapping laws between external load, preload value, curvature ratio, the carriage’s wall thickness, the guide’s width, and static mechanical properties of RLG are studied. The combined application of these precise finite element models can solve the problems of large calculation and low efficiency in statics of RLG. Meanwhile, it also provides a new way to achieve high-efficiency and high-rigidity design of RLG from the source.
