Research on Dual-Mode Self-Calibration Tensioning System by Xuling Liu, Yusong Zhang, Chaofeng Peng, Le Bo, Kaiyi Zhang, Guoyong Ye, Jinggan Shao, Jinghui Peng, Songjing Li

“…By simulating and analyzing frictional heating under conditions where the inlet pressures are 0.1 MPa, 0.3 MPa, 0.5 MPa, 0.7 MPa, and 0.9 MPa, respectively, we can obtain the temperature distribution on the jack, determine the frictional resistance, and subsequently conduct a theoretical analysis of the simulation results. Using the high-precision standard force sensor after data processing and the hydraulic oil gauge after temperature compensation, the online self-calibration of the tensioning system is carried out, and the regression equation of the tensioning system under different oil temperatures is obtained. …”
