Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A vibration damping member for a step-by-step controlled motor is of the type of a cage ball bearing whose inner ring is fixedly secured to the shaft of the motor. The bearing is disposed in a housing filled with vibration damping liquid such as oil or silicone. The outer ring of the bearing is freely rotatable. The advance in the art is in that the elements of the overall assembly are gradually synchronized on acceleration or deceleration, whereby energy consumption and wear is reduced.

Description
57~
The invention relates ~o a damping device for use in step-by-step controlled motors.
It is known that in the step-by-step controlled motors, mechanical and/or electrical vibrations of the type of pendulum motions may occur, which overlap at ~hP step-switching motions. Such vibrations can be of the frequency from 200 hz up to 2000 hz and can give rise to resonances which may result in that the motor falls out of step and has to be started again. Such abnormal state is simultaneously associated with high noises even though the rotor is at a standstill.
Damped vibration mo~ions are a:Lso encountered on braking of the motor. Such vibrations are disadvantageous particularly with machine tools which require exactly defined step-motions of the tool.
It is known to use anti-vibration devices for dampeniny such vibrations at the motor shaft. However, such devices require acceleration on the starting of the motor and must be decelerated on the braking of the motor. In order to brake the mass of the device, mechanical or electrical braking devices are required whose energy consumption and wear are of disadvantage.
It is an object of the invention to provide a vlbration dampening device whose inertia on the start of the motor is relatively small and which ls still capable to dampen mechanical and/or electrical vibrations occuxring within the region of the operational frequencies.
According to the invention, the device is of the type of a cage ball bearing or a roller bearing or the like, whose inner ring is ixedly secured to the shaft of the motor, the bearing being mounted in a housing containing a viscous damping liquid/ the outer xing of the bearing being freely rotatable.

The use of a preferred cage ball bearing in a housing filled with vibration dampening liquid has the advantage that on the starting of the motor, only the inner ring (which is fixedly secured to the motor shaft) and the ligh~, thin-walled housing has ~o be accelerated. The gradual synchronization of the outer ring takes place through the dampening liquid in the housing. On the occurrence of vihrations, the ou~Qr ring of the ball bearing is driven~ due to its inertia moment, at a speed different from that of the housing, of the balls, and of the inner ring. Thus, the viscosity of the damping liquid causes a damping of the vibration also due to the different velocities of the respective elements.
The invention will now be described in greater detail by way of preferred embodiment, with reference to Figs. 1 and 2. They show:
Fig. 1 - a cross section of the anti-vibration device, and Fig. 2 - a side view partly in section, showing only the housing.
The device consists of a ball bearing-like strwcture with an inner ring 11, arl outer ring 12 and balls 13 disposed therebetween, as well as of a housing 14, which consists of two housing halves 15 and 16, and which is filled with a vibration damping viscous liquid, for instance oil, or, preferably, sillcone. Each housing half has an inwardly protruding collar 18 which ls fixedly secured to the shaft of a step-by-step controlled motor. A spacing is provided between the outer ring 12 of the ball bearing-like member and the outer wall of the housing, as well as at the axial ends or bottoms 17 of the housing, so that the outer ring 12 of the bearing is freely rotatable~ Both housing halves 15 and 16 ~ ~3(i5'~
and their respective collar 18 are aEfixed to each other in a liquid tight fashion, for instance by an adhesive or by welding.
On the starting of step-by step controlled motor, at first only the inner ring 11 of the ball bearing fixedly secured to the collars 18 and thus to the shaft (not shown) of the motor, and also the housing halves 15,14 integral with the collars 18~ are the only parts that are rotated.
The synchronziation of the outer ring 12 follows gradually by the aid of the viscous liquid contained in the housing.
On vibration motions, the entire mass of the ball bearing-like portion inclusivP the housiny becomes effected. At the outset of acceleration or deceleration of the motor greater velocity differences occur in vibration generating motions affecting the damping liquid, thus increasing the effectiveness in reducing the vibration, while reducing the energy consumption in comparison with the known anti-vibration devicesof this typei Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the preferred embodiment shown in the drawing and described above can be modified to a grea~er or lesser degree without departing from the scope of the inventon as set forth in the accompanying claims.
