Manufacturing of balanced inter-saw spacers

Abstract

The article defibes the ways to manufacture statically balanced inter-saw spacers for fiber-cleaning and linting machines. In manufacturing steel spacers, a welded belt joint is used where the weld seam causes an imbalance of spacers. To achieve static balance in the inter-saw spacers, we create two holes of 13.2 mm diameter in single-belt spacers and 11.85 mm diameter in two-belt spacers. At that, the remaining 10 holes in both types of spacers are made with a diameter of 15 mm, which makes it possible to balance the imbalance of these inter-saw spacers. In addition, the single-belt spacer is recommended for shafts of saw blades with large diameters, and two-belt spacers - for shafts with smaller diameters.
