挑战
Life Fitness 力健是全球健身器材制造领域的领导者,在确保心血管和力量设备的可靠性和安全性方面面临着重大挑战。该设备广泛使用圆柱形衬套和滑动轴承将高径向载荷从旋转轴传递到支撑结构。为了实现可靠性目标,准确确定衬套和轴之间的接触压力至关重要,以确保衬套磨损率在可接受的限度内。套管目录和赫兹公式等传统方法用于预测这些压力。然而,这些方法未能考虑轴和衬套之间的轴向不对中,这可能导致极高的不均匀压力分布,从而难以确保设备的使用寿命和安全性。
解决方案
为了克服这一挑战,Life Fitness 采用了 ANSYS Mechanical 软件。与传统的 FEA 代码不同,ANSYS 的表面到表面接触单元技术可自动检测零件接触的区域,并使用不需要接触零件的节点对齐的高阶单元。该技术可以轻松解决数值上困难的接触问题,从而节省大量时间和精力。具体来说,TARGE170 和 CONTA174 单元用于模拟轴和衬套之间的三维接触。这种方法极大地改进了初始接触的检测,使工程师能够快速准确地确定由于轴和衬套之间的轴向不对中而产生的接触压力。

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
