小型eモーターハウジング
電動自転車の例
eモビリティは日常生活の一部になっています。まず電気駆動が自動車に広く浸透しました。生産における課題はモーターハウジングです。 – それは小型で軽量、同時に高精度である必要があります。
過去数十年にわたり、マパールはチェーンソー、モペットまたは芝刈り機など、アルミニウムやマグネシウム製の小型モーターハウジングの加工で豊富な経験を積んできました。しかし電動化に伴い、精度の要求が高まってきました。
FEATURES
- Two-part or three-part (housing and cover)
- Die-cast housings made of aluminium or magnesium
- Unstable, thin-walled components (susceptible to vibration)
- Multi-stage contour paths
- The geometrical and dimensional requirements are high (shape, running and position tolerances)
MACHINING REQUIREMENTS
- Roundness < 0.01 mm
- Diameter tolerance IT7
- Average roughness depth Rz < 10 μm
PCD tool machines bearing and position bores on magnesium housing
Strong vibrations in particular present a challenge when machining bearing and position bores on a specific magnesium housing because the component is extremely thin-walled in the area of the third bearing bore. The tool must remove 0.6-1 mm of material from the pre-cast bores.
The following parameters must be observed:
The following parameters must be observed:
- Roundness < 0.01 mm
- Diameter tolerance IT7
- Average roughness depth Rz < 10 µm
For this, MAPAL designed a complex, multi-step PCD combination tool which machines the three bearing bores and the bearing seat position bore in one shot - reliably and within the required tolerances.
The tool works with the following cutting data:
The tool works with the following cutting data:
- Spindle speed 8,000 rpm
- Feed rate 3,200 - 4,800 mm/min
- Feed 0.1-0.15 mm
Drilling and milling combined in a single tool
Another tool combines milling and drilling on a magnesium housing. While drilling steps machine the bearing bore and the position bore, a milling step is used to produce the sealing groove. It was also important for this tool to prevent vibration and keep the cutting pressure low. The tool experts achieved this by optimally coordinating the number of teeth and the geometry of the milling step. This also avoids chips in the groove.
Milling step cutting data:
Milling step cutting data:
- Spindle speed 8,000 rpm
- Feed rate 7,200 mm/min
- Feed 0.15 mm
MAPAL offers an all-round package for the machining of small housings made of aluminium or magnesium.
First and foremost, PCD and solid carbide tools are ideal for machining both materials. Depending on the requirements and complexity, MAPAL will design the best concept including all tools and chucks. Combination tools, each covering several work steps, make the process more economical.
