Copper bushing and flange with the accuracy of the equipment performance will have a variety of aspects of the impact, as follows:
First, the sealing performance
Prevent leakage:
When the copper bushing and flange fit with high precision, the gap between the two is controlled in a very small range, which can effectively prevent the leakage of fluids or gases in the connection. For example, in chemical equipment, if the seal is not tight, it may lead to the leakage of toxic and harmful chemicals, which will not only cause environmental pollution, but also pose a threat to the safety of operators. A high-precision fit ensures that the sealing surfaces fit tightly together to form a reliable seal, thus ensuring that no leakage occurs during the operation of the equipment.
Maintain system pressure:
For some equipment that needs to operate under specific pressure, such as hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, etc., the precision of the fit between the copper bushing and the flange directly affects the pressure stability of the system. If the fit is not good, under pressure, the fluid may leak from the gap, resulting in a drop in system pressure and affecting the normal operation of the equipment.
Second, mechanical properties
Improve the load carrying capacity:
A high-precision fit can make the contact area between the
copper bushing and the flange larger, thus dispersing the load and improving the load carrying capacity of the equipment. When the equipment is subjected to large axial force, radial force or torque, a good fit can ensure that the copper bushing and the flange bear the load together, avoiding localized stress concentration and resulting in damage to the parts.
Ensure motion accuracy:
In some equipment that requires precise motion control, such as precision machine tools, automated production lines, etc., the fit accuracy of the copper sleeve and flange plays a crucial role in motion accuracy. If the fit gap is too large, it will lead to wobbling and deviation of the moving parts during operation, affecting the machining accuracy and productivity of the equipment.
Reduce wear and friction:
A proper fit accuracy can reduce the friction coefficient between the copper bushing and flange, reducing wear and tear. When the fit is too tight, it will increase the frictional resistance, leading to heat and wear of the parts, and may even be jammed; and when the fit is too loose, it will make the relative motion between the parts unstable, and also accelerate the wear.
Enhance vibration resistance:
High-precision fit can improve the overall rigidity and stability of the equipment, thus enhancing the anti-vibration performance. When the equipment is subjected to vibration and impact during operation, a good fit can reduce the looseness and displacement between the parts and reduce the impact of vibration on the performance of the equipment.
In summary, the matching accuracy of the copper bushing and flange has an important impact on the performance of the equipment. In the design and manufacturing process, should be based on the specific requirements of the equipment, reasonable selection of fit accuracy, to ensure the sealing performance, mechanical properties and reliability of the equipment.
