Analysis on Dynamic Characteristics of Closed Hydrostatic Guideway Throttled by Capillary

Hydrostatic guideway is widely used in heavy and ultra-precision machine tools due to their high bearing capacity, low coefficient of friction and high capacity of precision-remaining. So it is necessary to carry on theoretical research on its dynamic characteristics. Firstly, the oil-film damping coefficient of closed hydrostatic guideway throttled by capillary is derived. Secondly, a new dynamic mathematical model, considering the oil damping effect, the extrusion effect and the volume effect, of the closed hydrostatic guideway is proposed. Thirdly, the frequency characteristics and step characteristics of it are simulated in Matlab Simulink through the transfer function. Finally, the paper investigates the influence of damping coefficient, the oil pressure, volume effect and the initial oil-film thickness on the dynamic characteristics of closed hydrostatic guideway throttled by capillary.
