Abstract

Consistency finishing is one of the technical bottlenecks in performance-oriented manufacturing for bearing rings, while non-destructive and all-around processing is its core demand. To accomplish this objective, a novel rotary barrel finishing approach, which was floating clamp, friction drive, and horizontal limit, was proposed. First, the effect of the vessel rotation speed on bearing ring’s motion and media kinetic energy’s distribution was investigated by the ADAMS-EDEM co-simulation. The bearing ring can realize continuous rotation and be effectively limited within some intervals under different vessel rotation speeds. The media kinetic energy is uniformly distributed in the radical direction. And it can reach the maximum when the rotation speed of the vessel is 40 rpm, which is considered to obtain the best finishing effect. Subsequently, the surface roughness of the workpiece was investigated by optimal finishing experiment. It shows that the surface roughness of bearing ring surfaces can be improved. Moreover, the coefficient of variation of Ra on the inner surface, end face1, and end face2 were reduced to 9.25% to 5.33%, 7.35%, and 5.73% respectively. The research results indicate that the bearing ring surfaces can be finished simultaneously and clamed non-destructive by this finishing approach. This process provides reference and basis for ring-shaped parts finishing.
