Study on the rate of change of thread angle and thread distance considering the interference factor under before and after the dynamic vibration of the fastening system

Abstract

Abstract Precision nuts are widely used in tool spindles and ball screws. Proper locking gives the bearing the right amount of pre-pressure so that the inner balls can roll steadily and inhibit friction and rapid temperature rise. If no pre-pressure is given to the bearing, it will cause the inner ball to slide irregularly and generate extremely high temperatures. In this paper, the precision nuts used are the flank locking precision locked nut and clasp locking precision locked nut for Taguchi method experiments. The control factors are nut type, Fitting clearance, and lubrication oil. Interference factors are surroundings temperature, assembly personnel, and torque wrench. The purpose is to obtain more suitable anti-loosening characteristics by the Taguchi method under the influence of interference factors and to check the thread angle and thread pitch before and after the experiment. The experimental results were analyzed form Taguchi method to find the combination of parameters with the maximum S/N and the variance analysis to obtain the significant factor. Finally, the regression equation of the loosening prevention characteristics was obtained by regression analysis, which shows that the optimized parameters effectively improve the loosening prevention characteristics and explore the interference factor on the loosening prevention characteristics of precision nuts.
