The work spindle revolves at 3 5 0 0 rpm , and the peripheral speed of the pinion journals is therefore between 2 and 6 m / min, which is much smaller than that or the wheel . The reversal of the s ense of rotation of the work spindle therefore only slightly influences the resultant polishing speed. FIGURE 11. Position of the work in the S-8a machine The basic production- rate index for the machine is the rate of metal re moval (pe r minute ), which depends on the diameter and the length of the polished surface, and on the magnitude of the allowance . The larger the diam eter and the longe r the polished surface , the large r the surface of contact between the carbide ring and the work, and the higher the rate of metal removal . The rate of metal removal is calculated using the formula where D = diam eter; l = length of the polished s urface; h = diameter allowance; The values of the factor Cw and the exponents x, y, . z are given in Table 6 . The polishing (basic ) time can b e calculated using the formula TP = Cr · D0 · lb · he min':' , where D, l, h have the same meaning as in the previous fo rmula, while the exponents a, b, and c are given in Table 6 . The polishing time can also b e taken from the s tandards . A table o f the polishing time for journals with 0 . 0 1 mm allowance and class \l\7\TV 1 2 sur face finish is given in Appendix 8. The spherical face of the balance s taff journal is polished on the S - 1 3 3 machine (Figure 1 2 ) after the cylindrical surface has been polished. The balance staff is held in the headstock and on the s teady - rest exactly as in the machine considered above . The polishing is performed by a carbide • Otgmashpribor Institute standards, 1954 . 3 3 7 |
