Mechanism analysis of non-sinusoidal oscillation of continuous casting mold synchronously driven by double servomotors

Due to the disadvantages of complexity, high maintenance and vast investment of the electro-hydraulic servo oscillator, a new mechanical device synchronously driven by double servomotors was proposed. The working principle of the non-sinusoidal oscillator was analyzed and the model of the oscillator was validated via simulation software. Then, taking advantage of resonance technology, the hinging force and moment were calculated. The results showed that the hinging force and driving moment reduced, which was useful in reducing the impact of the hinge and prolonging the service life of the bearing. Besides, the best initial spring pressure was 0.9 times the mold gravity, which improved the oscillation system stability and reduced the load fluctuation and servomotor driving power.
