Structural analysis and drive simulation of the top spindle, end coupling and slipper metal which is an important component of hot rolling process

열간압연공정의 주요구성품인 Top Spindle, End Coupling and Slipper Metal의 구조해석 및 구동시뮬레이션

The top spindle, end coupling and slipper metal are important components of the hot rolling process and are used for transmission of heavy rotational power. In this study, kinematic analysis is conducted using finite element method for hot rolling process under slipper metal combination types and operation situations. The structural analysis is performed by applying the combination type, rotational boundary condition of top spindle, end coupling and slipper metal. This study aims to minimize the mechanical problems which might happen in the production process.
