A mechanical component designed to securely hold and position a blade within a doctoring system.

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Blade Holder

Definition
The blade holder is a critical component within a doctoring system that provides precise mounting, alignment, and secure clamping for the doctoring blade. It ensures the blade maintains consistent contact pressure and angle against the target surface (e.g., a roll or web) for effective scraping, coating control, or cleaning operations.
Working Principle
The holder typically uses mechanical clamping mechanisms (such as bolts, wedges, or pneumatic/hydraulic actuators) to fix the blade in place. It is designed to allow for micro-adjustments to control the blade's angle (doctor angle) and pressure against the surface, which are crucial for the doctoring process's effectiveness and to prevent damage to the blade or the substrate.
Common Materials
Stainless Steel, Aluminum Alloy, Carbon Steel
Technical Parameters
  • Holder length, width, and thickness; blade clamping range (min-max blade thickness); mounting hole pattern dimensions. (mm) Per Request
Components / BOM
  • Clamping Bar
    Applies direct pressure to secure the blade against the holder body.
    Material: Stainless Steel
  • Adjustment Bolts/Screws
    Allow for fine-tuning of blade angle and clamping pressure.
    Material: Alloy Steel
  • Holder Body/Base
    Main structural frame that mounts to the system and supports the clamping mechanism.
    Material: Aluminum Alloy or Carbon Steel
Engineering Reasoning
0.5-3.0 MPa clamping pressure, -20°C to 150°C temperature range
Clamping pressure below 0.3 MPa causes blade slippage; above 3.5 MPa induces plastic deformation in holder material
Design Rationale: Stress concentration at blade-hub interface exceeding yield strength of 4140 steel (415 MPa) due to cyclic loading at 0.1-10 Hz frequency
Risk Mitigation (FMEA)
Trigger Corrosive fluid ingress at pH <4 or >10
Mode: Pitting corrosion at blade contact surfaces exceeding 0.5 mm depth
Strategy: 316L stainless steel construction with 0.1 mm PTFE coating on contact surfaces
Trigger Thermal expansion mismatch between holder (α=11.5×10⁻⁶/°C) and blade (α=5.5×10⁻⁶/°C)
Mode: Clamping force reduction by 40% at 150°C operating temperature
Strategy: Bimetallic compensation washer with differential expansion coefficient of 6.0×10⁻⁶/°C
