Low-Speed Crawl-Free Motion with Hydrostatic Bearings

Key Takeaways:

Rolling bearings can 'crawl' at very low speed due to stick-slip. Hydrostatic support has no solid contact, so motion stays smooth from near-zero rpm—ideal for creep-feed grinding and indexing.

Движение без ползания на малых скоростях у гидростатических подшипников

Проблема ползания

На малых скоростях роликовые подшипники 'ползут' (stick-slip), давая рывки и портя текстуру.

Почему гидростатика плавная

Нет контакта — нет порога трения покоя. Плёнка поддерживает непрерывно, движение гладкое от первого микрона.

Где важно

Силовое шлифование, деление стола, сверхточное контурное движение, калибровка.

Плюс

Без ползания — чище поверхность, точнее деление, нет сложной компенсации.

🇻🇳 Tiếng Việt

Chuyển động không trượt rít tốc thấp với ổ thủy tĩnh

Lỗi trượt rít

Tốc thấp, ổ lăn 'bò' (stick-slip), giật và hỏng bề mặt.

Tại sao thủy tĩnh mượt

Không tiếp xúc — không ngưỡng ma sát tĩnh. Màng nâng đỡ liên tục, mượt từ micron đầu.

Quan trọng

Mài ngậm sâu, chia độ bàn, contour siêu chính xác, hiệu chuẩn.

Lợi

Không bò — mặt đẹp, chia độ chuẩn, bỏ thuật toán bù phức tạp.

Mouvement sans rampement à basse vitesse en hydrostatique

Le problème du rampement

À très basse vitesse, les roulements présentent du stick-slip (rampement) : mouvement saccadé qui ruine la surface.

Pourquoi l'hydrostatique est lisse

Sans contact, pas de seuil de frottement statique. Le film porte en continu, le mouvement reste lisse dès le premier micromètre.

Où cela compte

Meulage à avance lente, division du plateau, contour ultra-précis, étalonnage.

Avantage

Sans rampement, meilleure surface et division exacte, sans compensation complexe.

Kriechfreie Bewegung bei niedriger Drehzahl mit Hydrostatik

Das Kriechproblem

Bei sehr niedriger Drehzahl zeigen Wälzlager Stick-Slip (Kriechen): ruckartige Bewegung, die die Oberfläche ruiniert.

Warum Hydrostatik glatt ist

Ohne Kontakt gibt es keine statische Reibschwelle. Der Film trägt stetig, die Bewegung bleibt von der ersten Mikrometerschritt glatt.

Wo es zählt

Creep-Feed-Schleifen, Teilung des Drehtisches, Ultrapräzisionskonturen, Kalibrierung.

Nutzen

Kriechfreie Langsamfahrt verbessert Oberfläche und Wiederholteilung ohne aufwändige Kompensation.

The Crawl Problem

At very low speed, rolling bearings can exhibit stick-slip (crawl): the element alternately sticks and slips, producing jerky, uneven motion that ruins fine surface texture and indexing accuracy.

Hydrostatic low speed

Why Hydrostatic Is Smooth

With no solid contact, there is no static-friction threshold to overcome. The oil film provides continuous, velocity-independent support, so motion remains smooth from the first micron of travel to full speed.

Where It Counts

  • Creep-feed grinding (slow, heavy passes)
  • Rotary-table indexing and dividing
  • Ultra-precision contouring
  • Metrology and calibration motion

Benefit

Crawl-free low-speed motion improves surface finish, repeats indexing accurately, and removes the need for complicated compensation algorithms.
