Spindle rotation accuracy is important in machining process. Indirect compensation of spindle rotation error has been widely adopted in the field of machining accuracy improvement. However, there are some limitations on indirect compensation, and a little research on direct compensation can be found. This article utilizes active lubrication technology to improve the spindle rotation accuracy. Hydrostatic journal bearing with control recesses and servo valve drove by piezoelectric ceramics are adopted to compose the compensation element. The simple control strategy PID is adopted to provide control signal for servo valve. Both simulation and experiment are designed and conducted. The results show that proposed bearing system has the ability to improve the spindle rotation accuracy.

The dynamic and hydrodynamic properties of the pad in the fluid pivot journal bearing are investigated in this paper. Preload coefficients, recess area, and size gap, which were selected as input parameters to investigate, are important parameters of fluid pivot journal bearing. The pad’s pendulum angle, lubricant oil flow through the gap, and recess pressure which characterizes the squeeze film damper were investigated with different preload coefficients, recess area, and gap sizes. The computational models were established and numerical methods were used to determine the equilibrium position of the shaft-bearing system. Since then, the pendulum angle of the pad, liquid flow, and recess pressure were determined by different eccentricities.

To determine the bifurcation types in a rotor-bearing system, it is required to find higher order derivatives of the bearing forces with respect to journal velocity and position. As closed-form expressions for journal bearing force are not generally available, Hopf bifurcation studies of rotor-bearing systems have been limited to simple geometries and cavitation models. To solve this problem, an alternative nonlinear coefficient-based method for representing the bearing force is presented in this study. A flexible rotor-bearing system is presented for which bearing force is modeled with linear and nonlinear dynamic coefficients. The proposed nonlinear coefficient-based model was found to be successful in predicting the bifurcation types of the system as well as predicting the system dynamics and trajectories at spin speeds below and above the threshold speed of instability.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of turbulence on the stability characteristics of finite hydrodynamic journal bearing lubricated with micropolar fluid. Design/methodology/approach The non-dimensional transient Reynolds equation has been solved to obtain the non-dimensional pressure field which in turn used to obtain the load carrying capacity of the bearing. The second-order equations of motion applicable for journal bearing system have been solved using fourth-order Runge–Kutta method to obtain the stability characteristics. Findings It has been observed that turbulence has adverse effect on stability and the whirl ratio at laminar flow condition has the lowest value. Practical implications The paper provides the stability characteristics of the finite journal bearing lubricated with micropolar fluid operating in turbulent regime which is very common in practical applications. Originality/value Non-linear stability analysis of micropolar fluid lubricated journal bearing operating in turbulent regime has not been reported in literatures so far. This paper is an effort to address the problem of non-linear stability of journal bearings under micropolar lubrication with turbulent effect. The results obtained provide useful information for designing the journal bearing system for high speed applications.

In the metal machining process, especially in the milling process, the parameters that affect the quality milling process results are cooling media because it affects the tool life used. This paper aims to determine the performance of using fan chips as the coolant in the dry milling process area. The method used is the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) method and the experimental milling process on a workpiece made from aluminum alloy 5086. In experimental testing using a variation of the milling machine spindle rotation. The simulation test results on the fluid flow character on fan chips with a protector producing a central character with a small area. In contrast, fan chips without a protector make a central character with a broader area. The wind speed data in simulation testing and experimental testing produced the same trend graph. The results of the performance of fan chips after experimented with variations in spindle rotation, cooling process on area occurs when the motor spindle rotates above 1120 Rpm on the fan chips with a protector, and the engine spindle rotates above 770 Rpm on the fan chips without a protector. The effect of fan chips on tool life affects increasing tool life by 8 minutes on installing fan chips with a protector and increasing tool life by 12 minutes on installing fan chips without a protector.

Natural frequencies and modal shapes of machine tools have position-dependent characteristics owing to their dynamic behaviors changing with the positions of moving parts. It is time-consuming and difficult to evaluate the dynamic behaviors of machine tools and their machining accuracy at different positions. In this paper, a Kriging approximation model coupled with finite element method is proposed to substitute the dynamic equations for obtaining the position-dependent natural frequencies of a machine tool, as well as relative positions between the tool and the workpiece during the machining process. Based on the proposed method, dynamic performance optimization design of the machine tool is conducted under the condition of minimum relative positions. Three case studies are illustrated to demonstrate the implementation of the proposed method.

In this paper, a thermo-physical model of the electric discharge machining process using finite element method is presented. In this model, parameters such as convection, the latent heat and the thermal properties based on temperature dependent etc. are studied to predict the temperature distribution in the workpiece. The temperature field simulation and experiment were carried out by adopting parameters through optimum pulse curve, and amending the effects of recast layer, the simulation results amended shows a better agreement with experimental results, indicating a theoretical foundation for mechanism of material removal in EDM machining.
