The invention discloses a method for detecting the pressure distribution in an oil cavity of a hydrostatic guideway. The method comprises the following steps: 1, hydraulic oil is sent by a hydraulic
station into each oil cavity through an oil
inlet channel and a throttling device, so that a guideway moving part can be floated; 2, the guideway moving part is moved to an oil
cavity pressure measuring
station, pressure oil in the oil cavity enters a pressure measuring channel, a
pressure sensor takes a
signal pressure
signal as the input and begins to read the pressure value at a certain positon in the oil cavity, and the
signal processing and the real-time display are performed; 3, after that, the oil
cavity pressure of a corresponding position is recorded each time after the guideway moving part is moved by a small displacement, so that a curve of the pressure distribution in the oil cavity of the hydrostatic guideway can be obtained; and 4, according to the obtained curve of the pressure distribution, the
impact of the pressure distribution in the oil cavity on the performance of the hydrostatic guideway is researched. According to the method disclosed by the invention, an oil
cavity pressure testing point is arranged on the hydrostatic guideway, thereby effectively solving the problem about how to detect the pressure distribution in the oil cavity of the hydrostatic guideway.
