Definitions

• the present invention concerns a method for mounting a bush on a part of a shaft with a force fit.
• the field of application of the invention may be for example mounting a bush round a rotor shaft with permanent magnets of an electric machine, or any application whatsoever whereby a bush must be fixed in a non-rotating manner on a part of a shaft and whereby the bush is subject to turning forces, as is for example typically the case with applications having high rotational speeds.
• the difference between the inner diameter of the element and the outer diameter of the shaft is hereby eliminated, such that the element can be pushed over the cylindrical part of the shaft, after which, as the element is cooled down and the shaft is heated again, a shrink fit can be obtained.
• a first disadvantage of these known methods is that they can only be applied with materials having a sufficiently high thermal expansion coefficient.
• said heating may change the magnetism of the magnets .
• heating large elements in a consistent manner for example metal rings or the like, is very expensive and not simple.
• the element is made of a fibre-reinforced composite, for example, it will be hard to produce large numbers due to the conical shape of the element .
• the inner conicity of the ring will be obtained by winding a strip of composite around a conical mandrel which is restricted to the length of one ring because of the required conicity.
• the present invention aims to remedy one or several of the aforesaid and/or other disadvantages.
• the invention aims to obtain a cost- effective method for mounting a bush on a part of a shaft with a force fit.
• the aim hereby is to obtain a force fit between the bush and the shaft, without a complicated shape being required for the bush to this end, such as for example a conical surface, a conical passage or the like.
• Another aim of the invention is to obtain a method which can be applied at room temperature and whereby the bush is made for example of a synthetic material, such as a fibre- reinforced composite, or of a metal or the like.
• this guide element has an outer surface which is at least partly conical and whose largest diameter deviates maximally five percent from the outer diameter of the aforesaid part of the shaft and whereby the guide element is positioned such that the largest diameter of the conical part is directed to the aforesaid part of the shaft; pushing the bush over the guide element on the side of the guide element with the smallest diameter and on the aforesaid part of the shaft; moving a press axially towards the conical part during a first step in shifting the bush over the guide element, whereby this press is provided with a bearing face on which the entire end face of the bush can rest during the pressing; and, making use of a press element with an inner diameter which is equal to or larger than the outer diameter of the part of the shaft during another step in shifting the bush over the guide element.
• An advantage of such a method according to the invention is that the bush must not be provided with a complex shape which is difficult to realise, such as for example a conical surface, in order to obtain a solid connection between the shaft and the bush.
• Another advantage of a method according to the invention is that it can be applied at room temperature.
• the bush can be made of a composite, for example a glass fibre-reinforced composite, whereby the fibres preferably extend in all directions in relation to one another.
• Another advantage of such a method according to the invention is that bushes having a longer length can be clamped on a shaft than is possible with the known methods . Indeed, by making the press rest with a bearing face on the entire end face of the bush during the pressing in a first step to push the bush over the guide element, the risk that the bush will bend under the pressure force is strongly reduced.
• the axial strength of the bush is maximally used.
• a method according to the invention requires less operations to clamp a bush with a relatively large length on the shaft than when a shaft with the same length must be provided with a bush by applying the known methods, whereby several bushes must be necessarily clamped one after the other on the shaft in this case. Also, with a method according to the invention, the risk for other fail modes of the bush to occur while pressing is smaller, especially with bushes made of a composite.
• the constituent parts of a composite bush might delaminate, for example, or cracks might occur for example in the outer composite layer or layers and the like.
• Said risk is restricted to a minimum with a method according to the invention.
• the press is axially moved up to the conical part of the guide element.
• the press will rest on the entire end face of the bush as long as this is possible during the first shifting step, which is of course advantageous to the stability of the bush while pressing.
• the shaft is stepped and the guide element is at least partly hollow, whereby the guide element is centred on the shaft by providing it with its hollow part over a part of the shaft having a smaller diameter than the aforesaid part of the shaft over which the bush must be provided.
• the shaft is provided with a recess on its far end, and the guide element is provided with an axially protruding part which is complementary to the recess in the shaft, whereby the guide element is centred on the shaft by placing it at least partly in the recess of the shaft with its axially protruding part .
• Such a method may be practical for example when the bush must be provided at the far end of the shaft or close to the far end of the shaft.
• figure 1 is a side view of a part of a stepped shaft; figure 2 shows how a guide element is provided over the stepped shaft according to figure 1; figure 3 illustrates how a bush is provided over the guide element; figure 4 shows how a press can be placed up against the bush; figure 5 shows the condition after the press has been moved axially up against the conical part of the guide element; figure 6 shows the condition after the press has been removed; figure 7 illustrates how an additional accessory is placed against the bush; figure 8 shows how the press can be applied up against the additional accessory again; figure 9 shows a condition whereby the bush has been moved axialIy up to a part of a shaft by means of the additional accessory and the press; figure 10 shows the clamped joint that is eventually obtained between the bush and the part of a shaft; figure 11 shows an alternative embodiment analogous to figure 9 whereby yet another additional accessory is used as an intermediate step; figure 12 shows an alternative embodiment whereby the shaft is provided with a cavity on its far end in which the guide element is introduced in a fitting manner; and, figures
• the invention concerns a method for mounting a bush on a part of a shaft with a force fit.
• Figure 1 represents a section of one far end of a stepped cylindrical shaft 1, with in this case at least three cylindrical parts 2, 3 and 4 of the shaft 1, summed up here according to a decreasing shaft thickness, whereby every part 2 to 4 of the shaft 1 has its own diameter, being the respective diameters Dl, D2 and D3 from large to small .
• Such a shaft 1 is merely an example of a shaft to which the method according to the invention relates and it could be for example a rotor shaft of an electric generator, whereby permanent magnets are provided in the rotor shaft and whereby over the shaft 1 must be provided a bush to protect the magnets for example.
• the shaft 1 could be for example the shaft of a combustion engine, around which is provided a flywheel to make the motor shaft run more steadily.
• the bush 5 has a cylindrical passage 6 with an innerdiameter D4 which is smaller than the outer diameter Dl of the part 2 of the shaft 1 on which the bush 5 must be fixed.
• the method according to the invention comprises the step of providing a guide element 7 with an outer surface 8 which is at least partly conical .
• the largest outer diameter D5 of the conical part 9 of the guide element 7 hereby deviates maximally five percent from the outer diameter Dl of the part 2 of a shaft 1 on which the bush 5 must be fixed.
• the smallest outer diameter D6 of the conical part 9 is in this case smaller than, or possibly in other cases, maximally equal to the inner diameter of the bush 5.
• At least the guide element 7 of the bush 5 is provided with a rounding on the edge of the contact surface between both, whereby the radius of the aforesaid rounding is preferably situated within a range of 10 "10 times the smallest diameter D6 of the conical part 9 to 10 "1 times the smallest diameter D6 of the conical part 9.
• the edges referred to are respectively represented in figure 3 by the references R and R' .
• the outer surface 8 of the guide element 7 is also provided, on the side 10 of the conical part 9 with the smallest diameter D6 , with a cylindrical part 11 which connects to the conical part 9 via a collar transition.
• the outer diameter D7 of said cylindrical part 11 is in this case smaller than the smallest diameter D6 of the conical part 9.
• said diameter D7 may in other cases be maximally equal to the diameter D6 , in which latter case the cylindrical part 11 is competed directly to the conical part 9 without any collar transition .
• the guide element 7 is made at least partly hollow.
• the guide element 7 is in this case provided with a central passage 12 with an inner diameter D8 which corresponds to the diameter D2 of the shaft part 3 adjacent to the part 2 of the shaft 1 on which the bush 5 must be fixed.
• the guide element 7 can be centred on the shaft 1, such as is illustrated for example in figure 2, by providing it with its hollow part or its passage 12 over the part 3 of the shaft 1 having a smaller diameter D2 than the part 2 of the shaft 1 over which the bush 5 must be provided.
• the aim hereby is to place the guide element 7, more particularly the conical part 9 of the guide element 7, in the extension of the part 2 of the shaft 1, whereby more specifically the conical part 9 of the guide element 7 with the largest outer diameter D5 is directed to the part 2 of the shaft 1.
• the bush 5 with its passage6 can be subsequently placed over the provided guide element 7 on the other side of said guide element 7.
• a force F is exerted on the bush 5 in the axial direction AA' and directed towards the part 2 of the shaft 1 so as to slide the bush 5 over the guide element 7 on the part 2 of the shaft 1.
• the guide element 7 is removed again in this case.
• the axial force F can be exerted in many ways, whereby the method can comprise two or several steps, for example as a function of the thickness h of the wall of the bush 5 or as a function of the auxiliary means used when exerting the axial force F.
• a preferred way of exerting the axial force F on the bush 5 consists in using a cylindrical press 13 which is for example partly hollow or, as represented in the given example of figure 4, entirely hollow.
• the press 13 is in this case more specifically provided with a central recess 14 having an inner diameter D9 which corresponds practically to the outer diameter D7 of the cylindrical part 11 of the guide element 7.
• the aim of the method according to the invention hereby is to exert an axial force F on the bush 5 with the press 13, such that the bush 5 slides over the conical part 9 of the guide element 7, whereby the press 13 itself is moved over the cylindrical part 11 of the guide element 7 during said axial movement .
• the hollow press 13 is provided with an overhang 15 which serves as a bearing face against which the entire end face 16 of the ring 5 can rest in a first step during the pressing.
• the cylindrical press 13 is preferably moved axially up to the conical part 9 of the guide element 7.
• an extra support may possibly be provided for while the bush 5 is being pressed over the conical part 11, for example by selecting equal or practically equal diameters D4, D6 and D7.
• such an accessory 17 may consist for example of a cylindrical press element 17 having a stepped recess 18.
• the recess 18 is realised with an inner diameter DlO for a part 19 which is larger than the inner diameter D4 of the bush 5 or than the smallest diameter D6 of the conical part 11 of the guide element 7.
• said diameter DlO of the aforesaid part is in this case equal to or somewhat larger than the outer diameter Dl of the part 2 of the shaft 1.
• the recess 18 of the adjacent part 20 of the accessory 17 has an inner diameter DlI which corresponds to the diameter of the cylindrical part 11 of the guide element 7.
• such an axial force F can be exerted on the accessory 17 by means of the press 13 after it has been provided in a centred manner on the guide element 7 again by pushing the press 13 over the cylindrical part 11 of said guide element 7 again until it rests with its overhang 15 up against the accessory 17.
• the bush 5 when exerting an axial force F on the accessory 17, the bush 5 can shift over the conical part 9 of the guide element 7, whereby, in the given example, the maximal length over which sliding in the axial direction is possible in this step, is determined by the length of the part 19 of the accessory 17 with the wider passage DlO.
• diameter DlO in this case is also sufficiently large to press the bush 5 up to the part 2 of the shaft 1.
• the last accessory 17 which is applied according to the method must always have an inner diameter DlO which is at least as large as the diameter Dl of the part 2 of the shaft 1.
• the required large radial expansion of the bush 5 requires a large elasticity of the bush 5, whereas when pressing according to a method of the invention, a non- negligible axial force F must be exerted on the bush 5.
• Such a material could be for example a fibre-reinforced composite whose fibres are directed such that a good radial elasticity and a large axial strength are obtained. A large radial elasticity is actually a quality of modern composites .
• one of the merits of the present invention is that it makes it possible to shift a thin- walled bush 5 having a thickness h and an original inner diameter D4 over the shaft 1 with an outer diameter Dl, whereby the difference in diameter D1-D4 is larger than the thickness h of the bush 5.
• This radial pressure P is represented by the following formula:
• - E is the Young modulus of the material out of which the bush 5 is made
• the air gap between rotor and stator is preferably restricted as much as possible so as to restrict the magnetic resistance or reluctance.
• the apical angle a of the conical part 9 of the guide element 7 is preferably not too large, preferably between 0.01° and 15°, since with a small apical angle ⁇ , by exerting an axial force F, the bush 5 can be deformed relatively more easily than with a larger angle ⁇ .
• this apical angle ⁇ is selected smaller than or equal to the value obtained according to the following formula:
• - k a factor which is selected on the basis of the way in which the bush 5 is composed and the material out of which the bush 5 is made, which factor is situated within a range of ICT 6 to ICT 2 ;
• the absolute value of the maximally possible elongation for the least elastic material component of the bush 5 or the plasticity limit of the metal, provided the bush is made of metal;
• - h the thickness of the wall of the bush 5 in m
• - D4 the inner diameter of the bush 5 in m
• the axial force F is kept within bounds, as a result of which certain manners of failure of the bush 5 during the pressing can be avoided, as will be further explained.
• a guide element which comprises a number of successive conical parts over its longitudinal direction, whereby every conical part meets the aforesaid formula and whereby Dl is each time determined by the largest outer diameter of the conical part concerned.
• a k value which is practically equal to 10 "4 is thought to be appropriate according to the invention, for example to avoid the aforesaid effects, whereby with this k value a wide range of materials used for the bush 5 and of manners to compose the bush 5 is covered.
• the bush 5 is made of a plastic, and most preferably even of a composite which is for example fibre- reinforced.
• the bush 5 is made of different layers of composite which are. either or not fibre-reinforced, whereby the layers which are situated near the outer perimeter of the bush 5 have a larger elasticity than the layers which are situated near the inner wall of the above-mentioned bush 5.
• Such a composite bush is preferably made of a fibre- reinforced composite with at least one of the following layers or a combination thereof: an inner layer whose fibres are wound in a direction extending between +/-70° and 90° in relation to the shaft of the bush (5) ; an intermediate layer whose fibres are wound in a direction extending according to a direction between +/-70° and 90° in relation to the shaft of the bush (5) ; an axial layer whose fibres are wound in a direction extending according to a direction between 0 and +/-70° in relation to the shaft of the bush (5) ; and, - an outer layer whose fibres are wound according to a direction extending between +/-70° and 90° in relation to the shaft of the bush (5) .
• the different angles for the fibre directions can hereby be adjusted as a function of the required strength for the bush 5.
• the aforesaid inner layer of such a composite bush 5 is made with carbon fibre.
• the method according to the invention is very appropriate for clamping bushes 5 en a shaft 1, and especially for pressing composite bushes 5 on a shaft 1.
• the asymmetrical force of the press 13 or the accessory 17 acting on the bush 5, as well as the orientation of the cone 9 further promote the buckling.
• Another failing mode which may occur with bushes 5 made of several layers, such as for example made of a composite, consists in that the layers delaminate during the pressing.
• Figure 16 shows yet another failure mode of the bush 5 which may occur due to an inappropriate selection of the apical angle ⁇ for the cone part 9.
• the bush 5 can for example be built of an inner layer, an intermediate layer, an axial layer and an outer layer, whereby after the bush 5 has been mounted on the shaft 1, one or several of these layers can be removed again from the bush 5.
• a major advantage of this method consists in that the layers of the bush 5 which are preserved after it has been mounted can be made with a larger fibre density then if such temporarily reinforcing layers were not applied.
• the eventually mounted bush 5 may have a small thickness h, formed of one or several functional layers, but it can nevertheless exert a large radial pressure P on the shaft 1.
• Another advantage of a method according to the invention is that the guide element 7, the shaft 1 and the press 13 can be very well aligned in a very simple manner, such that a failure mode, as shown in figure 17, can be avoided.
• a good alternative for the composite bush 5 consists in making the bush 5 of a preferably thin metal .
• a metal is hereby preferably selected with a yield point which is higher than the maximal tension occurring while the bush 5 is being mounted.
• guide element 23 can be centred on the shaft in another manner, as is illustrated by means of figure 12.
• the shaft 1 is provided with an inner opening 25 on its far end 24, whereas the guide element 23 is provided with an axially protruding part 26 which is complementary to the inner opening 25 in the shaft 1.
• centring the different parts in relation to one another can be done in different ways.
• the part 2 of the shaft 1 on which the bush 5 has to be mounted with a force fit is round/cylindrical, it is not excluded for the invention to be applied on a part 2 of the shaft 1 with an oval /cylindrical shape or a cylindrical shape with key ways or the like, or even on a part 2 of the shaft 1 with a conical shape.
