Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Bearbeitung planer Flächen einer Scheibenbremse bestehend aus Radlagereinheit und Bremsscheibe für Kraftfahrzeuge. Die Radlagereinheit umfasst eine Radnabe, eine Wälzlageranordnung und einen äußeren Lagerring, der eine Montagefläche zur Befestigung am Fahrzeug aufweist. Die Radnabe besitzt eine Flanschfläche zur Montage der Bremsscheibe.The invention relates to a method for machining flat surfaces of a disc brake consisting of wheel bearing unit and brake disc for motor vehicles. The wheel bearing unit comprises a wheel hub, a roller bearing assembly and an outer bearing ring having a mounting surface for attachment to the vehicle. The wheel hub has a flange surface for mounting the brake disc.
Ein derartiges Verfahren ist gemäß des Oberbegriffs des Anspruches 1 aus dem Dokument US 4 361 988 bekannt. Ein Verfahren zur Bearbeitung planer Flächen einer Scheibenbremse für Kraftfahrzeuge, bei dem die Bremsscheibe mit dem äußeren Lagerring verbunden ist, wird in US 5 430 926 beschrieben.Such a method is known from document US 4 361 988 according to the preamble of
Wenn die ringförmige Flanschfläche nicht exakt rechtwinklig zur Rotationsachse ausgerichtet ist, führt die mit der Nabe rotierende Bremsscheibe Taumelbewegungen bzw. drehwinkelabhängige Versatzbewegungen in axialer Richtung aus, die auch als Schlag bezeichnet werden. Bereits geringfügige drehwinkelabhängige Versatzbewegungen bzw. Taumelbewegungen sind als Vibrationen, die sich auf das Bremspedal übertragen, bei einem Bremsvorgang spürbar. Bearbeitungsfehler an der Flanschfläche der Radnabe machen sich um so stärker bemerkbar, je größer die Bremsscheibe ist. Der beschriebene Effekt tritt daher insbesondere bei Kleintransportern, bei Pickups, bei Lastkraftwagen und ähnlichen Nutzfahrzeugen auf.If the annular flange surface is not aligned exactly at right angles to the axis of rotation, the brake disc rotating with the hub carries out wobbling movements or rotational angle-dependent offset movements in the axial direction, which are also referred to as impact. Even slight angle-dependent offset movements or wobbling movements are noticeable as vibrations that are transmitted to the brake pedal during a braking operation. Machining errors on the flange surface of the wheel hub are more noticeable, the larger the brake disc is. The effect described therefore occurs especially in vans, pickups, trucks and similar commercial vehicles.
Im Rahmen der bekannten Maßnahmen werden die Flächen der Radnabe fertig bearbeitet, bevor die Radnabe zusammen mit der Wälzlageranordnung und dem Lagerring zu einer Radlagereinheit montiert wird. Nach dem Einbau der Radlagereinheit im Fahrzeug ist regelmäßig an der Flanschfläche für die Bremsscheibe ein störender Schlag bei einer Drehbewegung der Radnabe feststellbar. Die drehwinkelabhängige Versatzbewegung liegt nach Messungen an Radnaben bei Nutzfahrzeugen oft in der Größenordnung von 40 bis 60 µm. Mit zunehmendem Durchmesser verstärkt sich der Schlag. Am äußeren Durchmesser der Bremsscheibe treten drehwinkelabhängige Versatzbewegungen in axialer Richtung von bis zu 100 µm auf, die sich bei Betätigung der Bremse als störende Vibrationen auf das Bremspedal übertragen.As part of the known measures, the surfaces of the wheel hub are finished before the wheel hub is mounted together with the rolling bearing assembly and the bearing ring to a wheel bearing unit. After installation of the wheel bearing unit in the vehicle a disturbing shock during a rotational movement of the wheel hub is regularly detected on the flange surface for the brake disc. The rotational angle-dependent offset movement is often in the order of 40 to 60 microns after measurements on hubs of commercial vehicles. As the diameter increases, the impact increases. On the outer diameter of the brake disk rotation angle-dependent displacement movements occur in the axial direction of up to 100 microns, which are transmitted to the brake pedal as a disturbing vibrations upon actuation of the brake.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Bearbeitung so durchzuführen, dass der an der Bremsscheibe einer im Fahrzeug eingebauten Scheibenbremse messbare Schlag vernachlässigbar klein ist.The invention has for its object to perform the machining so that the measurable blow on the disc of a built-in vehicle disc brake blow is negligible.
Gegenstand der Erfindung und Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist ein Verfahren zur Bearbeitung planer Flächen einer Scheibenbremse für Kraftfahrzeuge nach Anspruch 1.The object of the invention and solution to this problem is a method for processing flat surfaces of a disc brake for motor vehicles according to
Nach der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre werden der äußere Lagerring und die Radnabe nicht als Einzelteile fertigbearbeitet, sondern erfolgt die Bearbeitung an der vormontierten Radlagereinheit. Dabei werden entweder die Flanschfläche der Radnabe oder die Bremsflächen dervorhermontierten Bremsscheibe bearbeitet. Die Radnabe der Radlagereinheit dient dabei stets als Spindel, so dass die gleichen Verhältnisse wie im späteren Einbauzustand am Fahrzeug herrschen. Die Erfindung beruht auf der Überlegung, dass die eingangs beschriebenen störenden drehwinkelabhängigen Versatzbewegungen, also der Schlag, auf diese Weise nahezu beseitigt werden können, da nach der Bearbeitung die Montagefläche des äußeren Lagerringes und die Flanschfläche der Radnabe bzw. die Bremsflächen der Bremsscheibe exakt planparallel ausgerichtet sind. Die geforderte Planparallelität zwischen Montagefläche und Bremsflächen der Bremsscheibe ist gewährleistet, wenn die Radlagereinheit mit der Montagefläche des äußeren Lagerringes auf einem Werkstückträger aufgespannt wird und die Baugruppe mit einem Schleifwerkzeug bearbeitet wird, dessen Schleiffläche parallel zum Werkstückträger ausgerichtet ist. Entsprechendes gilt für andere spanende Bearbeitungen, z. B. Drehen, Fräsen u. dgl.According to the teaching of the invention, the outer bearing ring and the hub are not finished as individual parts, but the processing takes place on the preassembled wheel bearing unit. In this case, either the flange surface of the wheel hub or the braking surfaces of the previously mounted brake disc are processed. The wheel hub of the wheel bearing unit always serves as a spindle, so that the same conditions prevail as in the later installed state on the vehicle. The invention is based on the consideration that the initially described disturbing angle-dependent offset movements, ie the impact, can be almost eliminated in this way, since aligned after machining the mounting surface of the outer bearing ring and the flange of the wheel hub and the braking surfaces of the brake disc exactly plane-parallel are. The required plane parallelism between the mounting surface and braking surfaces of the brake disc is ensured when the wheel bearing unit is clamped with the mounting surface of the outer bearing ring on a workpiece carrier and the assembly is machined with a grinding tool, the grinding surface is aligned parallel to the workpiece carrier. The same applies to other machining operations, eg. B. turning, milling u. like.
Danach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren die Bremsflächen der Bremsscheibe bearbeitetwerden, wird die Bremsscheibe mit einer Andruckschreibe und Spannschrauben gegen die Radnaben vorgespannt und werden die Spannschrauben mit einer definierten Vorspannung, die dem späteren Einsatz am Kraftfahrzeug entspricht angezogen, bevor die Bremsflächen bearbeitet werden.After the method according to the invention, the braking surfaces of the brake disc are processed, the brake disc is biased with a Andruckschreibe and clamping screws against the hubs and tighten the clamping screws with a defined bias corresponding to the subsequent use on the motor vehicle before the braking surfaces are processed.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird die zu bearbeitende Fläche mit einem Sensor abgetastet und werden drehwinkelabhängige Versatzbewegungen in axialer Richtung gemessen. Sobald die Meßwerte des Sensors innerhalb eines zulässigen Toleranzbereiches bleiben, wird die Bearbeitung gestoppt.According to a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the surface to be machined is scanned with a sensor and angular displacement movements are measured in the axial direction. As soon as the measured values of the sensor remain within a permissible tolerance range, processing is stopped.
Die Radnabe kann von der Spindel einer Werkzeugmaschine angetrieben werden, die den vorzugsweise ringförmig ausgebildeten Werkstückträger durchfaßt und unter Zwischenschaltung eines flexiblen Adapterelementes an die Radnabe angekuppelt wird. Durch das flexible Adapterelement kann eine etwaige geringe Exzentrizität zwischen der auf dem Werkstückträger aufgespannten, zu bearbeitenden Baugruppe und der Rotationsachse der Spindel ausgeglichen werden.The wheel hub can be driven by the spindle of a machine tool, which surrounds the preferably ring-shaped workpiece carrier and is coupled with the interposition of a flexible adapter element to the wheel hub. Due to the flexible adapter element, any slight eccentricity between the clamped on the workpiece carrier to be machined assembly and the axis of rotation of the spindle can be compensated.
Eine andere Ausführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens sieht vor, daß die Radnabe von einer Spindel angetrieben wird, die oberhalb an die zu bearbeitende Baugruppe angekuppelt wird. Zweckmäßig wird bei Lagern mit Axialspiel während der Bearbeitung eine axiale Vorlast zur Beseitigung eines axialen Spiels der Wälzlageranordnugn auf die Radlagereinheit aufgebracht.Another embodiment of the method according to the invention provides that the wheel hub is driven by a spindle, the above to be machined Assembly is coupled. It is expedient for axial bearing bearings to apply an axial preload to eliminate axial play of the rolling bearing arrangements on the wheel bearing unit during machining.
Der Werkstückträger ist ortsfest angeordnet oder kann auf einerTransporteinrichtung einer Bearbeitungsstation zugeführt werden. Vorzugsweise wird die zu bearbeitende Radlagereinheit oder aus Radlagereinheit und montierter Bremsscheibe bestehende Baugruppe an einem Werkstückträgern eines Drehtisches aufgespannt und durch eine Drehbewegung des Drehtisches in den Arbeitsbereich einer Bearbeitungsmaschine gebracht, die eine an die Baugruppe ankuppelbare Spindel für den rotierenden Antrieb der Radnabe sowie mindestens ein rotierend antreibbares Bearbeitungswerkzeug aufweist. Die Bearbeitungsstation kann beispielsweise als Doppelseitenschleifmaschine zur beidseitigen Bearbeitung der Bremsscheibe ausgelegt sein.The workpiece carrier is arranged stationary or can be fed on a transport device to a processing station. Preferably, the wheel bearing unit to be machined or consisting of wheel bearing unit and mounted brake disc assembly is clamped to a workpiece carriers of a turntable and brought by a rotary movement of the turntable in the working area of a processing machine, which can be coupled to the assembly spindle for the rotary drive of the wheel hub and at least one rotating having drivable machining tool. The processing station can be designed, for example, as a double-side grinding machine for double-sided machining of the brake disc.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren eignet sich zur Finishbearbeitung planer Flächen einer Scheibenbremse für Kraftfahrzeuge, bei der die zu bearbeitenden Flächen mit einer rotierenden Schleifscheibe plan geschliffen werden. Als Schleifscheibe kann beispielsweise eine Topfscheibe verwendet werden, deren Rotationsachse zur Drehachse der Radnabe parallel versetzt angeordnet ist.The inventive method is suitable for finishing planar surfaces of a disc brake for motor vehicles, in which the surfaces to be machined are ground flat with a rotating grinding wheel. As a grinding wheel, for example, a cup wheel can be used, whose axis of rotation is offset parallel to the axis of rotation of the wheel hub.
