摘要:Roller linear guides are key components in machine tool. The accuracy and efficiency of a machine toll are determined by the stiffness and friction torque of roller guide. This study proposes an improved design method for roller guide. The influences of the rollers profile on stiffness, stress distribution of roller linear guide are analyzed using finite element simulation. In this work, the design of the roller, slider, and the overall structure is modified. Moreover, experimental investigations on noise and sliding friction of roller linear guide are compared to validate the proposed design method. It seems that the proposed design can improve the dynamical performance of the roller linear guide.
