Force analysis of roller squeezing mechanism

Abstract

Force analysis of roller squeezing mechanisms was conducted on the basis of analytical dependencies obtained to determine the energypower parameters of roller squeezing of semi-finished leather products after dyeing. These dependencies were determined taking into account the hydraulic pressure during squeezing. It was revealed that the thickness of the leather layer and the radius of the roll have the greatest influence on the energy-power parameters. With a decrease in the thickness of leather and the radius of the roll, the gripping force can be reduced due to a decrease in the extent of the contact zone. A decrease in the roll radius reduces the torque and power required to rotate the roll.
