DYNAMIC LOAD OF LINEAR GUIDING SYSTEMS IN HANDLING MACHINES

Linear guiding systems are used in machines for relative translational motion of components, especially for handling devices, which are the basis of production lines. In these operating conditions, the linear guiding systems are dynamically loaded. Dynamical influences may lead to the decrease and damage of bearings. The aim of this paper was to calculate dynamical influences of a mass inertia on linear guiding systems. This issue was solved by a numerical calculation of differential motion equations in 2D. The motion was calculated on an example of a handling machine for welding car bodies. The result is a percentage representation of the dynamic forces on the total load of the linear guiding systems. The result shows the percentage representation in the solved case as more than 10%.
