Abstract
There is an increasing demand for large-sized hydrostatic rotary tables due to the industrial need for the precision machining of large workpieces for wind generation, aerospace, shipbuilding, and national defense applications. As a consequence, under eccentric loads, the deformation of the large-sized hydrostatic rotary table of a horizontal boring machine would negatively affect machining precision. Indeed, the hydrostatic thrust-bearing recess layout design is the main factor that affects the rotary table’s resistance against deformations caused by eccentric loads. This study focused on the capillary-compensated constant-pressure large-sized hydrostatic rotary table for a horizontal boring machine. ANSYS software was used to simulate the thermal and structural deformation of the worktable under eccentric loads. In addition to the original layout of the hydrostatic thrust bearing, three other bearing recess layouts, which involved two different recess diameters, were designed in order to examine the deformation of the worktable under eccentric loads. The results showed that, in terms of a single-ring hydrostatic thrust-bearing layout, a larger recess diameter resulted in a smaller worktable deformation compared to a smaller recess diameter; in terms of a dual-ring hydrostatic thrust bearing layout, the worktable deformation was smaller than that of the single-ring layout with a larger recess diameter. Under the spatial and geometric constraints of the worktable, adopting a hydrostatic thrust bearing with a dual-ring recess layout would minimize the worktable deformation under eccentric loads. For thermal deformation in a single-ring hydrostatic bearing pad layout, however, a larger recess diameter resulted in a larger worktable thermal deformation compared to a smaller recess diameter.
