Fatigue Life of Slewing Bearings under Combined Radial,Axial and Tilting Moment Loads

A calculation method of fatigue life for slewing bearings under combined radial, axial and tilting moment loads was proposed. Single row four-point contact ball slewing bearing being used as a case, the statics model of the slewing bearing was established and a set of equilibrium equations were obtained. By solving the equilibrium equatioas, the rolling element loads were obtained and the equivalent rolling element loads were calculated further. By using the geometrical parameters of the bearing, the rating rolling element loads were calculated, and the fa- tigue life of the bearing was calculated by using the rating rolling element loads and the equivalent rolling element loads. A calculation example shows the feasibility of the proposed method.

Synthesis and application of single-atom catalysts in sulfur cathode for high-performance lithium–sulfur batteries

Lithium–sulfur(Li-S)batteries are regarded as one of the most promising energy storage devices because of their low cost,high energy density,and environmental friendliness.However,Li-S batteries suffer from sluggish reaction kinetics and serious“shuttle effect”of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs),which causes rapid decay of battery capacity and prevent their practical application.To address these problems,introducing single-atom catalysts(SACs)is an effective method to improve the electrochemical performance of Li-S batteries,due to their high catalytic efficiency and definite active sites for LiPSs.In this paper,we summarized the latest developments in enhancing the electrochemical performance of cathode for Li-S batteries through introducing different SACs.Furthermore,we briefly introduced the catalytic mechanism of SACs and discussed the strategies of synthesizing SACs,including the spatial confinement strategy and the coordination design strategy.Finally,the challenges and prospects in this field are proposed.We believe that this review would help to design and fabricate high-performance Li-S batteries via introducing SACs and boost their practical application.

Radial electromagnetic type unbalance vibration self-recovery regulation system for high-end grinding machine spindles

Modern rotating machines,which are represented by high-end grinding machines,have developed toward high precision,intelligence,and high durability in recent years.As the core components of grinding machine spindles,grinding wheels greatly affect the vibration level during operation.The unbalance vibration self-recovery regulation(UVSRR)system is proposed to suppress the vibration of grinding wheels during workpiece processing,eliminating or minimizing the imbalance.First,technical principles and the system composition are introduced.Second,the balancing actuator in the UVSRR system is analyzed in detail.The advanced nature of the improved structure is presented through structure introduction and advantage analysis.The performance of the balancing actuator is mutually verified by the theoretical calculation of torque and software simulation.Results show that the self-locking torque satisfies the actual demand,and the driving torque is increased by 1.73 times compared with the traditional structure.Finally,the engineering application value of the UVSRR system is verified by laboratory performance comparison and actual factory application.The balancing speed and effect of the UVSRR system are better than those of an international mainstream product and,the quality of the workpieces machined in the factory improved by 40%.
