The slewing drive is a full-circle slewing reduction transmission mechanism that integrates a driving power source. It uses a slewing bearing as a transmission follower and a mechanism attachment. By attaching a driving member and a drive source to one of the inner and outer rings of the slewing bearing And the cover, and the other ring is used as both the driving follower and the connection base of the driven working part. This makes use of the characteristics of the slewing bearing itself as a full-circle slewing connector to efficiently configure the driving power source and the main transmission. Parts, making it a universal reduction transmission mechanism that integrates slewing, deceleration and driving functions, yet has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture and maintain.

According to the type of variable speed transmission of slewing drive, it can be divided into toothed slewing drive and worm gear slewing drive, inheriting the characteristics of gear drive and worm gear worm drive. These two types of slewing drive can be adapted to medium and high-speed applications In terms of load-carrying capacity, the worm gear and worm gear perform better than the tooth type. When the envelope worm drive is used, its load-carrying capacity, anti-deformation ability, and transmission rigidity are further improved. However, the worm gear worm rotary drive is more efficient in terms of efficiency. Inferior to toothed slewing drive.

According to the openness of the slewing drive transmission, the slewing drive can be divided into open and closed. Generally, the open structure is mostly used in applications where the environment is too harsh and the maintenance and repair cycle is short. Inspection, maintenance, and service are also easier to replace. Where the environmental conditions do not change much and the environment pollution level is below moderate, the closed structure can provide a long maintenance life cycle.

The slewing drive is a new type of slewing product, usually called slewing bearing. It is usually composed of the worm, slewing bearing, housing, motor, and other components. Because the core component adopts slewing bearing, it can bear axial force, radial force, and overturning moment at the same time.

Application areas of the rotary drive

Compared with the traditional rotary products, the rotary drive has the advantages of simple installation, easy maintenance, and greater installation space-saving. This product can be widely used in construction machinery and new energy fields such as solar tracker systems, heavy-duty flatbed trucks, container cranes, truck-mounted cranes, aerial work vehicles, wind power generation and so on.

In recent years, with the continuous development and improvement of technology, robots have been widely used in industrial and manufacturing fields. As one of the key parts of robots, robot bearings have played a key role in the operation of robots.

First, common bearing requirements for robots

1. Can withstand the axial, radial, overturning and other integrated loads.

2. Small size and lightweight.

3. It must have the technical characteristics of high load, high slewing accuracy, high running stability, high positioning speed, and high repeat positioning accuracy.

4. It can meet the characteristics of long life, low friction torque, high reliability.

Because of the particularity and complexity of the robot’s working environment, bearings that meet the above requirements must be required to fit in the robot to ensure safe use.

Second, the robot commonly used bearings

Due to technical requirements and environmental influences, the development of modern industrial robots has become lighter, which requires that the supporting bearings have a more lightweight structure. Bearings must meet the performance requirements of industrial robots on bearing capacity, accuracy, stiffness, and frictional torque within a limited installation space. It is difficult to meet this requirement with standard general-purpose bearings. At present, there are two major types of bearings commonly used on robots. One is a thin-walled bearing of the same cross-section, and the other is a cross cylindrical roller bearing.

1.Equal-section thin-wall bearings

Equal-section thin-walled bearings are different from ordinary bearings in that their cross-sections are mostly square in size and their dimensions are designed to be fixed. In the same series, the cross-sectional dimension is constant, and it does not increase with the increase of the inner diameter, so it is called a constant-section thin-wall bearing. Equal-section thin-wall ball bearings include thin-wall four-point contact ball bearings, thin-wall angular contact ball bearings, and thin-wall deep groove ball bearings. They are mostly used in the waist, elbow, and wrist parts of industrial robots. In the case of the same internal diameter, thin-walled ball bearings with more sections have more steel balls than standard rolling bearings, so the internal force distribution of the bearing is improved, the elastic deformation at the contact between the steel ball and the channel is reduced, and the bearing’s Carrying capacity.

2. cross cylindrical roller bearings

The internal rollers of the cross cylindrical roller bearings are arranged at 90 ° perpendicular to each other. A single bearing can simultaneously bear the combined effects of radial force, axial force and overturning moment. A cage is installed or isolated between the rollers The block can prevent the inclination of the rollers or the mutual grinding between the rollers, and effectively prevent the increase of the friction torque. In addition, the rollers are arranged in a vertically crossed arrangement to avoid the locking of the rollers. At the same time, because the inner and outer rings of the bearing are divided, the gap can be adjusted, and even if pressure is applied, high rotation accuracy can be obtained. Crossed roller bearings are widely used in industrial robots for waist rotation, articulated robot shoulders, arms, wrists and other rotating parts due to their light composite structure, high turning accuracy, good rigidity, and stable friction torque.

Robot bearings must not only ensure sufficient bearing capacity but also require precise positioning and flexible operation. Therefore, bearing design analysis must consider a number of indicators for optimal design. In addition to the above two kinds of bearings, there are harmonic reducer bearings, linear bearings, articulated bearings, etc. in the robot, but mainly used are thin-walled bearings and thin-walled cross roller bearings of equal cross-section.

Crane is a common engineering machinery equipment. It is mainly used in the construction of bridges, roads, and port projects. Due to the working environment and overloading, there is often no turning action during work, which not only affects the overall performance of the equipment, It also delays work efficiency. Today, we mainly introduce the causes and troubleshooting methods of common crane rotation failures.

The crane does not rotate, mainly dues to the mechanical transmission of the slewing mechanism or its electronic control system fail. Today, we mainly discuss the non-rotational failures of tower cranes (Towers) and gantry cranes, analyze the causes of the failures, and propose ways to eliminate them.

First, mechanical failure

The slewing bearing of the crane acts as a connection between the upper and the chassis in the slewing mechanism while supporting the entire rotating portion of the crane. The main cause of mechanical failure: slewing bearing wear. When the crane works in an environment with strong corrosiveness and dust, or after large rainwater has passed, the steel ball in the slewing bearing is damaged and the raceway is worn. Both will affect the work of the slewing mechanism. In severe cases, the slewing mechanism will experience heavy rotation and noise. Violation of the operation, such as lifting the weight, when using the basic arm of the crane to pull and tilt the heavy objects in the distance to achieve the purpose, often erroneously use the slewing mechanism to diagonally pull, this is a violation of the safe operating procedures. At the same time, the slewing mechanism and the basic arm are also damaged.

Remedy: Repair or replace the slewing ring bearing. Wipe in time, add a proper amount of lubricant to the inside of the slide, and apply some anti-rust oil to the outside. The grease nipple should be unblocked frequently to prevent clogging, and the tightness of the bolts everywhere should be checked frequently to prevent the gap between the upper and lower landslides from being too large due to the looseness of the bolts, resulting in wear of the steel balls and raceways.

Second, the rotary hydraulic system is low

When the pressure of the rotary hydraulic system is low, the sound and speed of the rotary process are normal under the condition of the no-load or light load of the crane; when it is heavy, there will be difficulty in turning or even no turning. The reason for this phenomenon is that the spring of the overload buffer valve of the rotary hydraulic system is softened. The pressure of the rotary hydraulic system is realized by adjusting the screw of the overload buffer valve. This adjustment screw also has the function of sealing the oil passage. In order to ensure the sealing of the oil passage, the screw must be tightened, but the spring cannot be adjusted at will. The pressure is gone. Remedy: When the spring pressure is not enough, only use the spring end to add a washer to solve or replace the new spring.

Third, the rotary electronic control system has failed

First, the rotary motor burns or the carbon brush breaks to produce a short circuit, and the carbon brush wears to cause an open circuit with the slip ring; the second is that the brake electromagnetic coil is burnt, causing the brake friction plate to lock and can not release the brake; the third is the electronic component The damage is broken or the fuse is blown; the fourth is the damage of the contactor that controls the rotation; the fifth is the damage of the relay that controls the rotation; the sixth is the poor contact of the electrical part of the main controller (the main switch).

Remedy: If the rotary motor burns, it is often caused by excessive load, phase loss of the three-phase power line or short circuit. If the slewing load is too large and the three-phase power line of the slewing motor is out of phase, the motor will be burnt. At this time, stop the operation immediately. Carbon brush breaks are prone to short circuits and high-quality carbon brushes should be used. The carbon brush should be maintained in time to replace the carbon brush with excessive wear. If the brake solenoid is burnt, check the solenoid. When checking, turn on the power of the electromagnetic coil to be inspected, and use a screwdriver to check whether the electromagnetic coil generates suction force to the screwdriver. If there is suction, it means that the electromagnetic coil is not broken, otherwise, the electromagnetic coil is broken, and the new electromagnetic coil should be replaced. Also, check the brake lining wear and replace if necessary. If the electronic component is damaged or its fuse is blown, replace the fuse in the electronic component or electronic component. If the contractor and relay that control the rotation are damaged, replace the new one. If the main controller of the swing is in poor contact, adjust or replace the contact or master controller assembly.

If there is a crane rotation failure during work, it should be stopped immediately to prevent the equipment from working, which not only affects the performance of the whole machine but also greatly reduces the life.

Excavator is an indispensable mechanical device in the construction of today’s engineering equipment. Powerful robotic arms and buckets can excavate the earth and then load it into the transport vehicle. This series of operations are inseparable from the working device of the excavator. The important joint in the working device is the slewing bearing. The quality of the slewing bearing directly affects the normal operation of the excavator. During the daily use of the excavator, sometimes there is a problem that the upper ring and lower ring gaps of the excavator turntable are large, or the bearing is stuck and damaged. How can we use the maintenance to solve these problems?

First, the reason and solution for the large gap between the top ring and bottom ring of the excavator slewing bearing

The reason for the large gap between the upper ring and lower ring sides of the excavator is that the lack of grease lubrication causes the rollers to become smaller when the wear is worn, the butter leaks out, and further causes wear, and then the excavator slewing bearing has a problem of large gap between upper ring and bottom ring. That is, the excavator turntable is disassembled, and then repaired, the roller is replaced and repaired, and the repaired excavator slewing bearing should be replaced in time.

Second, the other problems of the excavator slewing bearing and the maintenance

1. Teeth are broken

Broken tooth is another common problem of excavator slewing bearing. It should be stopped in time after the broken tooth, and repair and replacement should be carried out in time. The broken teeth of the excavator slewing bearing are mostly due to improper adjustment of the side gear of the large and small gears during installation, which does not meet the requirements. Causes the two gears to be misaligned during operation, causing broken teeth; or the meshing gap adjustment between the pinion and the pinion is not required as required, causing the pinion to become stuck when the meshing gear is engaged with the large gear toothing position during operation; The non-parallel axes and the slewing bearing mounting bolts are not tightly fixed, so that the large and small gears are poorly engaged and the teeth are broken.

The excavator slewing bearing should be repaired in time after the broken teeth appear. If it is repaired by the maintenance personnel, it must be replaced in time. In order to avoid the occurrence of broken teeth, maintenance should be carried out when the installation is used. The following points should be made: the backlash should be adjusted strictly according to the requirements; the meshing adjustment should be carried out with the small gear in the position where the green paint is applied, and the test should be carried out according to the requirements. Operation ensures that the two gear axes are parallel; tighten the bolts as required; operate in strict accordance with the operating procedures; ensure that the size gears are clean and check frequently.

2. Abnormal sound

The abnormal sound is also one of the common problems of excavator slewing bearings. Abnormal noise is an abnormal sound. It will have a certain sound when it comes to new products. It is normal, but it should be replaced in time when it lasts for a long time. Sometimes it is installed after installation. There will also be abnormal noise. In this case, it is necessary to check whether the installation is correct. The abnormal noise generated during the use may be the lack of grease in the raceway or the foreign matter mixed in the raceway. When the noise occurs, it is necessary to check the excavation in time. Whether the various structures of the slewing bearing are complete, and the fault is eliminated.

The above is the analysis of how to solve the problem of the upper ring and lower ring clearance of the excavator turntable. For the excavator slewing bearing, there will be many problems in the process of use, such as large gap, broken teeth or abnormal noise. These problems should be repaired or replaced in time. If you can’t solve them yourself, you must contact the manufacturer in time to provide professional guidance to avoid direct damage.
