  • Patent number: 11467066
    Abstract: A method for determining the preload value of the screw based on thermal error and temperature rise weighting. Firstly, thermal behavior test of the feed shaft under typical working conditions is carried out to obtain the maximum thermal error and the temperature rise at the key measuring points in each preloaded state. Then, a mathematical model of the preload value of the screw and the maximum thermal error is established; meanwhile, another mathematical model of the preload value of the screw and the temperature rise at the key measuring points is also established. Finally, the optimal preload value of the screw is obtained. The thermal error of the feed shaft and the temperature rise of the moving components are comprehensively considered, improving the processing accuracy and accuracy stability of the machine tool, and ensuring the service life of the moving components such as bearings.
