APPARATUS FOR MOUNTING GRINDING WHEELS Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: machine engineering, namely mounting of grinding, polishing wheels and other disc-shaped tools such as disc milling cutters, needle milling cutter, knurling tools, shavers, toothed honing tools. SUBSTANCE: apparatus includes mandrel and flange with pressure nut for mounting wheel with possibility of controlling its inclination angle. Disc with dial and end face inclined by angle α is designed for engaging with end face of flange tapered by the same angle. Mandrel and flange are mutually joined by means of set of flexible washers with use of nuts and ring whose one end is inclined by angle α. Inclination angle of grinding wheel may be set and smoothly adjusted from zero until maximum value equal to 2 α determined at condition of continuous cutting of cross section according to relation 2α ≤ 0,5arcsin(2H/D) 0.5 x arcsin(2H/D), where H and D - height and outer diameter of grinding wheel respectively. EFFECT: intensified process of working hard-to-grind materials having tendency for defect formation. 7 dwg
