■Calculation of Service Life of Ball Spline

Use the following formula for calculating the running service life of the ball spline.

• Radial Load

• Torque Load

  • L: Running Life (km).
  • ft: Temperature Factor.
  • fh: Hardness Factor.
  • fp: Ratio of Rated Load.
  • fw: Load Factor.

  • C: Basic Dynamic Load Rating (N).
  • F: Applied Radial Load (N).
  • Ct: Basic Dynamic Torque (N·m).
  • T: Applied Torque (N·m).

Use the following formula for calculating the service life of the ball spline.

  • Lh: Run Time (hr).
  • L: Running Life (km).

Application Overview

Purpose

  • Cleans work surface by blowing out dirt using air while the workpiece is being rotated.
    The workpiece is placed on a rotating table while the arm is lowered to clamp it down.

Target workpiece

  • Shape: Cylinder case
  • Size:φ85 x L 102 x t 5mm
  • Weight: 1kg

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • External dimensions: W 366 x D 482 x H 488mm
  • Arm swing angle: +/- 45°
  • Clam stroke: 50mm
  • Work rotation speed: 75rpm or more

Required Performance

  • Clamp section weight: 2kg

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Select a φ25 cylinder in order to lift clamp section 2kg.
  • Select motor of 40 W, reduction ratio 1/80 in order to rotate workpiece at 75rpm or more.

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • Verifying permissible motor moment of inertia based on load inertia.
    • Checking load moment of inertia: J.
      Coupling moment of inertia:Jc=11×10 -5kg・㎡
      Set Collar moment of inertia: Js = mD²/8=0.095×(0.032)²/8=1.2×10-5kg・㎡
      Workpiece moment of inertia: JW = mD²/8=1×(0.085)²/8=90×10-5kg・㎡
      Rotating Shaft moment of inertia: J1 = mD²/8=0.9×(0.028)²/8=8.9×10-5kg・㎡
      Workpiece lower side holder section moment of inertia: J2=mD²/8=1.3×(0.085)²/8=120×10-5kg・㎡
      Workpiece upper side holder section moment of inertia: J3=mD²/8=2.1×(0.085)²/8=190×10-5kg・㎡
      Total: J = Jc + Js + JW + J1 + J2 + J3 = 421 x 10-5kg・m² < 3000 x 10-5kg・m2 = Permissible moment of inertia for motor: JM
      ⇒No problem

Other Design Consideration

  • The clamp arm is set to be capable of rotating 45° in order to avoid interference with the clamp while setting the workpiece.
