Static Load
Thermal Load
STATIC LOAD
It is a term used for the constantly changing forces acting on the structure
while movement is taking place. These forces cause the machine system to
vibrate.
The origin of such vibration is;
Unbalanced rotating parts
Improper meshing of gears
Bearing irregularities
Interrupted cuts while machining
❑ Friction guideways
❑ Antifriction linear motion (LM) guideways
FRICTION GUIDEWAYS
❖ Vee
❖ Flat
❖ Dovetail and
❖ Cylindrical

In the case of ball bearings, the bearing has inner and outer races and a set of
balls. Each race is a ring with a groove where the balls rest. The groove is
usually shaped so the ball is a slightly loose fit in the groove. Thus, in principle,
the ball contacts each race at a single point.
In the case of roller bearings, the bearing has inner and outer races and a set of
rollers. Each race is a ring with a groove where the rollers rest. The groove is
usually shaped so the roller is a slightly loose fit in the groove. Thus, in
principle, the roller contacts each race at a line contact point .
The rolling element
The rolling element is determined by the magnitude of the load and direction of the load (axial or
radial).
Ball
Balls are most commonly used rolling element. Can withstand relative large radial loads with some
axial loads.
Roller
Rollers are line contact and thus can carry very large radial loads with minimal axial loads.
Taper roller
Taper rollers are line contact and will run in taper races. They can carry both radial and axial loads.
Needle roller
Needle rollers is similar to rollers, their length is longer in relation to their diameter. Normally used
where radial space is limited
Spherical roller
A spherical roller bearing is a rolling-element bearing that permits rotation with low friction, and
permits angular misalignment.

► Here the slide position is determined by the rotation of ball screw, pinion or
the drive motor.
► This system is more convenient and less costly compared to direct measuring
system.
► But there are errors like backlash and torsional deformation. These errors
can be minimsed by error compensation.
► Ecoders and resolvers are examples of indirect measurement systems.

Spring
► The 'stiffness' of a system can be represented
by an ideal spring. For a linear spring, the
extension x is proportional to the applied
extending force F
In the case of a spring the
deflection is proportional to the
applied forces, i.e.
F=kx
where k is a constant. The
bigger the value of k, the
greater the forces have to be to
stretch or compress the spring
and so the greater the stiffness.
Dashpot
The 'damping' of a mechanical system can be
represented by a dashpot. This is a piston moving in a
viscous medium, e.g. oil, in a cylinder. For such a
system, the resistive force F which has to be overcome
is proportional to the velocity of the piston and hence
the rate of change of displacement x with time, i.e.
dy/dt. Thus we can write:
Mass
The mass building block represents the inertia of a system.
The bigger the mass, the greater the force required to give it
a specific acceleration. The relationship between the force F
and the acceleration a is (Newton’s second law) F = ma,
where the constant of proportionality between the force and
the acceleration is the constant called the mass m.
