Simulation Study of a New Magnetorheological Polishing Fluid Collector Based on Air Seal

Inverted magnetorheological (MR) polishing device mainly use a magnetic sealing ring to collect fluid. This collection method wears the wheel surface of wheel, affects accuracy and introduces machining error. In order reduce this wear improve recovery efficiency, new type collector using an air seal is proposed in paper. Furthermore, testing six factors three-level orthogonal test table used study structural parameters collector. The flow fields affected by different were simulated, corresponding efficiency was analyzed. results show that nozzle diameter has greatest impact on fluctuation value outlet flow, followed airflow velocity spacing. Moreover, obtained from optimized control variable method. minimum maximum at can be when 2.5 mm 31 m/s.
