Clamping Fatigue Properties of Shrink-Fit Holder

Abstract

In order to explore the clamping fatigue properties of shrink-fit holders, ANSYS software was used in this study to analyze the thermal and contact stresses during the clamping process of the shrink-fit holder, and the fatigue analysis was performed by selecting the dangerous areas based on the two stresses. A numerical control shrink-fit holder clamping fatigue test device was manufactured, and the automatic clamping of the shrink-fit holder was executed in this study. After 500 clamping repetitions, a milling test was carried out on the shrink-fit bracket. By collecting the vibration signal of the workpiece during processing and measuring the change in the surface roughness of the workpiece, and then analyzing the change in the machining performance of the shrink-fit holder under different clamping times, we were able to compare and verify the accuracy of the finite element fatigue analysis.
