Method and structure for improving the dynamic characteristics of a linear roller guideway
A method and structure improves the dynamic characteristics of a linear roller guideway for precision machine tool, robot or automation equipment by: adding a nonlinear component to the linear roller guideway to provide better dynamic stiffness and damping effects. The nonlinear component has a nonlinear contact characteristic of hardening so that during mounting or in a quick movement of the slide units of the linear roller guideway, the nonlinear component has a relatively lower stiffness to reduce its friction with the rail surface; on the other hand, when bearing a load or during a cutting work, the nonlinear component has a relatively higher stiffness. The nonlinear component also provides a planar contact, overcoming the drawbacks of low damping of point or line contact of the slide units of the nonlinear roller guideway, and enhancing the cutting precision of the machine tool.
