使用 OAV 空气轴承优化电动汽车的锂生产
Utilizing the principles of fluid dynamics and pneumatics to achieve frictionless high-speed precision, OAV products take advantage of this realm in a multitude of industries. Facilitating the creation of high-quality results while simultaneously increasing efficiency and reducing costs is what OAV strives to achieve for its consumers. Company (Non-Disclosed) is an OEM for custom automated equipment ranging from rolling mills, processing equipment, exotic metals, to medical and pharmaceutical needs.
At Company (Non-Disclosed), the mechanical engineering team, responsible for overseeing the calculations and designs, utilized the OAV Air Bearings to create tension stands for finite tension control for lithium metal, which are used in EVs. Lithium is an important element in the production of EVs. Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in EVs due to their high energy density, meaning that they can store a large amount of energy in a relatively lightweight and compact package to maximize range and efficiency, making them an ideal choice for use in EVs. In addition to batteries, lithium is also used in the production of other EV components, ranging from electric motors to control systems. Its demand is only continuing to grow.
To integrate the OAV Air Bearings into their system, the team at Company (Non-Disclosed) machined blocks with pockets on either side that then had the air bearings placed into them. The ambient environment of these air bearings is clean in a dry room, and the air bearings are undergoing approximately 10 pounds of load. Because extremely low friction was needed in order to achieve the tension for this metal processing, Company (Non-Disclosed) sought OAV to address the exigency.
利用流体动力学和气动原理实现无摩擦高速精度，OAV 产品在众多行业中利用了这一领域。促进高质量结果的创造，同时提高效率和降低成本是 OAV 努力为其消费者实现的目标。公司（未披露）是定制自动化设备的 OEM，范围从轧机、加工设备、稀有金属到医疗和制药需求。
在公司（未公开），负责监督计算和设计的机械工程团队利用 OAV 空气轴承为电动汽车中使用的锂金属制造张力架，以实现有限张力控制。锂是生产电动汽车的重要元素。锂离子电池因其高能量密度而被广泛用于电动汽车，这意味着它们可以在相对轻便和紧凑的封装中存储大量能量，以最大限度地提高续航里程和效率，使其成为电动汽车的理想选择。除电池外，锂还用于生产其他 EV 组件，从电动机到控制系统。它的需求只会继续增长。
为了将 OAV 空气轴承集成到他们的系统中，Company（未披露）的团队加工了两边带有凹槽的块，然后将空气轴承放入其中。这些空气轴承的周围环境在干燥的房间内清洁，空气轴承承受大约 10 磅的负载。由于需要极低的摩擦才能实现这种金属加工的张力，公司（未披露）寻求 OAV 来解决紧急情况。
