Study of Structure and Properties of New Rolling-Cut Shear

Abstract

Based on rolling-cut shear simulation, using a kind of single-shaft and double eccentricity rolling-cut shear, which adopts a new structure of asymmetric feature and negative bias, as the calculating model by establishing motion path equation of spatial shear mechanism, comparing with the steel shear forces, link forces and horizontal link force components with or without asymmetric feature, the asymmetric formulation is deduced. Such asymmetric crank structure can decrease horizontal force component between the linkages during rolling-cut process, increase the effective drive force on links while it comes to the maximum shear force, and decrease the extrusion of blade arc on steel edge as well. Theoretical analysis and steel-shearing quality at site indicate that asymmetric and negative bias is an important and efficient way to prolong the lifetime of blade, decrease blade wear, improve shearing quality, and maintain the constant clearance between blades.
