AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a machine design issue for pressing bearings into parts with tolerance rings, where the application of Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) is causing jerking during the process. This jerking leads to inconsistent bearing height and production rejects. The user questions whether the problem stems from the chemical properties of IPA or the machine design, which utilizes a servo motor and ball screw with a pressing force of 50 to 100 kgf. Suggestions include heating the bearing housing before pressing and verifying the fit of the bearings to ensure they are not overly tight. The user seeks further assistance to resolve the pressing issue.

I am working in a project to design a machine to press in bearing into a part with tolerance ring.

IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) is requested to apply on the tolerance ring before press in the bearing to reduce the hard particle created during the process.

However, the machine is jerking during the process. The bearing cannot be press in smoothly and causing our production reject due to the bearing height after press in cannot control properly.

This jerking only happen if IPA is applied. So is this due to the IPA chemical properties problem? Or my machine design problem?
My machine design is using servo motor to drive the ball screw. Pressing force is about 50 to 100kgf.

Hopefully someone can help me to solve this problem. Let me know if you need more details.

Thank you.

Why not simply heat up the bearing housing slightly before pressing in the bearing? Have you double checked the fits on the bearing to make sure they are not too tight?
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
