Abstract

The separate shaft (4) and disc (1) are connected together and aligned relative to each other by a loose centring seat containing a centring ball (6). The force acting on the seat arises from the pneumatic piston between the shaft and the sleeve body. The disc is only mounted on air on one side. The sleeve (5) is closed at one end by a cap (7) so that an excess air pressure can be set in the resulting cavity whereby the longitudinal displaceable shaft (4) presses the disc (1) against the bearing disc (2) with air bearing by means of the centring ball (6). USE - To avoid faults in assembly for high-precision instruments.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine spezielle Ausführung von gasgeschmierten Wellen (Luftlagern), mit dem Ziel der Genauig­ keitserhöhung bzw. Verringerung der Fehlerbewegungen, und gleich­ zeitige Vereinfachung des Herstellaufwandes.The invention relates to a special embodiment of gas-lubricated shafts (air bearings), with the aim of accuracy speed increase or reduction of error movements, and the same early simplification of the manufacturing effort.

Bekannt sind Wellen in radialer und axialer Luftlagerung für hochtourige Anwendungen wie etwa Mikrobohr-Spindeln, optische Scanner und Feinstschleif-Spindeln oder optische Linsen-Polier­ maschinen. Sie bestehen häufig aus der Vereinigung eines schlanken Wellenschaftes für die Radiallagerung mit einer vergleichsweise dünnen Scheibe größeren Durchmessers als die Welle für die zu deren beiden angebrachte axiale Luftlagerung.Shafts in radial and axial air bearings are known for high-speed applications such as micro drilling spindles, optical Scanner and fine grinding spindles or optical lens polishing machinery. They often consist of the union of one slim shaft for radial bearings with a comparatively thin disc of larger diameter than that Shaft for the axial air bearing attached to their two.

Bekanntgeworden sind auch solche Wellen, die aus zwei Abschnit­ ten mit unterschiedlichem Durchmesser bestehen, die, beide in einer Hülse mit ebenfalls zwei unterschiedlichen Durchmessern und auf Luft gelagert, einen ringförmigen Kolbenraum bilden, durch den bei Beaufschlagung mit Luftdruck eine in Richtung des größeren Wellendurchmessers wirkende Kraft in Achs-Richtung entsteht, welche hier der axialen Fixierung und Vorspannung der Welle gegen eine axiale Luftlagerscheibe dient.Waves made up of two sections have also become known with different diameters, both in a sleeve with two different diameters and stored on air, form an annular piston space, by the one in the direction when pressurized with air pressure force of the larger shaft diameter in the axis direction arises, which here is the axial fixation and preload the shaft serves against an axial air bearing washer.

Die Erfindung besteht in der Trennung der Welle in zwei separate Bauteile, nämlich Welle und Scheibe, die untereinander nur durch einen losen Zentriersitz verbunden sind, wobei auf diesen Zen­ triersitz eine Kraft wirkt, die in bekannter Weise aus dem pneumatischen Kolben zwischen Welle und dafür hinten verschlos­ senen Hülsenkörper resultiert. The invention consists in separating the shaft into two separate ones Components, namely shaft and washer, which only pass through each other a loose centering seat are connected, with this Zen triersitz a force that acts in a known manner from the pneumatic piston between the shaft and therefore locked at the rear his sleeve body results.  

Fig. 1 erläutert die Erfindung: Die Scheibe 1 sei ein Luftlage­ rung erforderndes Bauteil, etwa ein optischer Scanner-Spiegel- Polygon oder sonst Träger mechanischer oder optischer Funk­ tionsteile. Der Realisierung der Luftlagerung dient die ring­ förmige Lagerscheibe 2 mit den hier nicht mehr näher zu erläuternden, da bekannten, Druck-Einlaßdrosseln (=Düsen) 3. Die Scheibe 1 ist auf Luft nur auf einer Seite gelagert, und radial ist sie gar nicht gelagert. Eine Welle 4 läuft luftge­ lagert in einer Hülse 5. Welle 4 trägt den allein schon zu deren Herstellung erforderlichen Zentriersitz, in dem eine Kugel 6 aufgenommen ist, die in der Scheibe 1 ihren Gegensitz findet. Die Hülse 5 ist an einem Ende durch eine Kappe 7 derart verschlossen, daß im so entstehenden Hohlraum ein Luft-Überdruck eingestellt werden kann, durch den die in Längsrichtung verschiebbare Welle 4 mittels der Zentrierkugel 6 die Scheibe 1 gegen die Lagerscheibe 2 mit der Luftlagerung gedrückt wird. Die Wellenlagerung 4/5 erfüllt also die die mehrfache Funktion:
radiale Lagerung, Erbringung axialer Vorspannung und Zentrierung der Scheibe relativ zur Welle. Der Drehantrieb des Systems Welle/Scheibe erfolgt in bekannter Weise durch einen am Wellenende aufgebrachten Motor 8/9. Der Mitnahme der Scheibe 1 durch die Welle 4 dient im einfachsten Falle die Haftkraft, die im Zentriersitz durch die Vorspannung zustande kommt. Eine Drehsicherung kann in bekannter und hier deshalb nicht gezeigter Weise querkraftfrei durch Mitnehmerstifte zwischen Scheibe und Welle bewirkt werden.
Fig. 1 explains the invention: The disc 1 is an air-bearing component, such as an optical scanner mirror polygon or other carrier mechanical or optical func tion parts. The realization of the air bearing serves the ring-shaped bearing disc 2 with the pressure inlet throttles (= nozzles) 3, which are not to be explained in detail here anymore. The disc 1 is supported on air only on one side and is not supported radially at all. A shaft 4 runs luftge bearings in a sleeve 5th Shaft 4 carries the centering seat, which is already required for its manufacture, in which a ball 6 is received, which finds its counter seat in the disk 1 . The sleeve 5 is closed at one end by a cap 7 such that an air overpressure can be set in the cavity thus created, through which the longitudinally displaceable shaft 4 by means of the centering ball 6 presses the disk 1 against the bearing disk 2 with the air bearing becomes. The shaft bearing 4/5 thus fulfills the multiple function:
radial bearing, provision of axial preload and centering of the disc relative to the shaft. The shaft / disk system is driven in a known manner by a motor 8/9 mounted on the shaft end. In the simplest case, the entrainment of the disk 1 by the shaft 4 serves the adhesive force which is brought about in the centering seat by the pretension. A rotation lock can be effected in a known and therefore not shown manner without lateral force by driving pins between the disk and the shaft.

Das Verhältnis der beiden Durchmesser Scheibe/Welle folgt aus dem Kräftgleichgewicht zwischen der Luftlagerung die auf der Ringfläche zwischen Laufscheibe 1 und ringförmiger Lagerscheibe 2 einerseits und der durch die Welle 4 mit Durchmesser D erzeug­ ten Kolbenkraft (p×D) andererseits, wobei p der Überdruck im Innenraum der Kappe 7 ist. Der Einstellung des geeigneten Druckes in diesem Raum dient eine Öffnung 9 in der Kappe 7. Der Entlüftung des die Laufscheibe 1 umgebenden Raumes dient eine Öffnung 10 in der Hülse 5.The ratio of the two diameter disc / shaft follows from the balance of forces between the air bearing on the one hand on the annular surface between the running disc 1 and the annular bearing disc 2 and the piston force generated by the shaft 4 with diameter D (p × D), where p is the overpressure is in the interior of the cap 7 . An opening 9 in the cap 7 serves to set the suitable pressure in this space. An opening 10 in the sleeve 5 serves to vent the space surrounding the running disk 1 .

Als vorteilhaft an dieser Lösung gilt, daß der Betrag der Taumel­ bewegung der für die Genauigkeit wesentlichen Scheibe nur durch deren Planlagerung auf ein Minimum bestimmt ist; daß die Scheibe als Funktionsträger von der Welle separat hergestellt werden kann; daß wärmebedingte Dehnungen nur von der Lagerstelle 1/2 weg nach hinten erfolgen.It is an advantage of this solution that the amount of wobble movement of the disk, which is essential for the accuracy, is determined to a minimum only by its plane bearing; that the disc as a function carrier can be manufactured separately from the shaft; that thermally induced expansions take place only from the bearing point half way to the rear.
