Design of a method to optimise the dimensions of steel bearing rings for automotive applications
摘要
The presented publication deals with the method of optimisation of dimensions of specific bearing rings on the basis of the production process of grinding the surfaces of the faces and outer surfaces of these bearings after turning and hardening by means of a suitable addition corrected by a suitable number of grinding passes. By comparing the analysed results of bearing ring dimensions measurements obtained after turning and hardening before and after optimisation, the capability indices of the applied manufacturing processes are evaluated. In the context of standard values of capability indices common in engineering practice, the proposed method aims at achieving higher product quality, as well as increasing the efficiency and economic benefit of the applied manufacturing processes.
