Ceramic bearings have a good dynamic output performance under an ultra-high, ultra-low temperature due to their small deformation property. Based on the Harris and Palmgren empirical equation, this article establishes the thermal transfer model of a ceramic motorized spindle. The thermal deformation of a ceramic angular contact ball bearing is calculated. A dynamic and thermal coupling model of the ceramic motorized spindle is built using the Hertz contact theory, which can determine the optimal preload force under different rotating speed conditions. The influence of different temperatures, preload, and rotation speeds on the bearing vibration characteristics was studied. The accuracy of the dynamic and thermal coupling model was verified by the motorized spindle experimental platform. The results show that the thermal deformation of the bearing is an important influencing factor for the output of the dynamic characteristics. Considering the thermal displacement of the bearing, the simulation accuracy of the ceramic motorized spindle-bearing system is in good agreement with the experimental results. By adjusting the bearing preload, the parameters of the rotating speed can effectively reduce the temperature rise and suppress the vibration. The spindle-bearing system model provides a theoretical basis for the dynamic development of a high-speed ceramic bearing.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the dynamic characteristics of a motorized spindle with externally pressurized air bearings. The externally pressurized air bearings consist of a journal bearing and a double pad thrust bearing with orifice restrictors. The equations of motion for the rotor-bearing system are established considering five degrees-of-freedom (DOF). The perturbation method and the finite difference method are introduced to calculate the static and dynamic characteristics of the air bearings; and the effects of the rotating speed and tilt angle of the rotor on the dynamic characteristics of the air bearings are analyzed. With the dynamic coefficients of the air bearings and the 5DOF rotor-dynamic model obtained, the stability, the unbalance response, and the forced response of the rotor-bearing system are investigated. Finally, the static and dynamic characteristics of the spindle are verified by an experimental study.

This technical brief presents a dynamic model based on the traditional transfer matrix method (TMM) and Jones–Harris nonlinear rolling bearing model to study the effects of the extended structure parameters on the vibration behavior of a high-speed motorized spindle-bearing system. The first critical speed and the dynamic stiffness of the high-speed motorized spindle-bearing system are systematically studied. A design sensitivity analysis of the structure parameters is then conducted to identify the main factor to affect the first critical speed of the spindle-bearing system. The results show that the processing condition, the shaft shoulder, the dimension of motor, and the bearing arrangement are sensitive to the spindle dynamic behavior. The TMM model of the spindle-bearing system is verified by measuring the high-speed motorized spindle overall dynamic stiffness.

This paper presents a method to investigate the dynamic behavior of a turning high-speed spindle system. The machine tool main spindle unit is focused on direct driven spindle units for high-speed and high performance cutting. This paper analyzes the static behavior for a turning machine spindle and presents some activities to improve the CAD model for such complex systems. The proposed models take into account the spindle with the bearing detailed system. The analysis was performed during the design activity and was based on Finite Elements Method. Starting from the 3D model, using FEM done by means of ANSYS analysis, structural dynamic behavior was evaluated. The aim of this paper is to develop a finite element model of the machine spindle system and use this method for design optimization. The 3D model was designed using the Solidworks CAD software. In order to obtain accurate dynamic characteristics of the spindle-bearing system during the design stage, the finite element model is simulated using dedicated software, and a method in which springs and damping units imitate bearing support. The proposed method can predict the regular pattern in which bearing stiffness and bearing span affect natural frequency and harmonic response. The research demonstrates that this method predicts the dynamic characteristics of the spindle-bearing system therefore it can be a reference for dynamic optimization design of spindle-bearing systems in turn-milling centers. The static analysis was presented in another paper. The thermal analysis will be presented in a future paper.

The air-gap eccentricity will produce unbalanced magnetic pull and cause vibrations and noises in a motor. In this study, the dynamic behavior of a synchronous motorized spindle with inclined eccentricity is investigated. A semi-analytical method is proposed to model the unbalanced magnetic pull and the electromagnetic torque of a rotor with inclined eccentricity, and the semi-analytical method is verified by the finite element method. The dynamic model of a spindle-bearing system is built by taking the centrifugal force and gyroscopic effects into account. Then, the vibration response of dynamic displacement eccentricity, inclined eccentricity including displacement eccentricity and angle eccentricity, rotating speed, and unbalanced mass eccentricity in both time domain and frequency domain are simulated and analyzed. The results show that the eccentricities can lead to fluctuations in amplitudes of the dynamic displacement response and the angle response. The frequency components of the dynamic responses are the combination of rotating frequency, VC frequency, and power frequency. It is indicated that the coupling interactions of bearing forces, unbalanced mass force, and unbalanced magnetic pull have an obvious effect on the spindle-bearing system.

Experiment And Simulation

The thermal deformation of high-speed motorized spindle will affect its reliability, so fully considering its thermal characteristics is the premise of optimal design. In order to study the thermal characteristics of high-speed motorized spindles, a coupled model of thermal-flow-structure was established. Through experiment and simulation, the thermal characteristics of spiral cooling motorized spindle are studied, and the U-shaped cooled motorized spindle is designed and optimized. The simulation results show that when the diameter of the cooling channel is 7 mm, the temperature of the spiral cooling system is lower than that of the U-shaped cooling system, but the radial thermal deformation is greater than that of the U-shaped cooling system. As the increase of the channel diameter of U-shaped cooling system, the temperature and radial thermal deformation decrease. When the diameter is 10 mm, the temperature and radial thermal deformation are lower than the spiral cooling system. And as the flow rate increases, the temperature and radial thermal deformation gradually decrease, which provides a basis for a reasonable choice of water flow rate. The maximum error between experiment and simulation is 2°C, and the error is small, which verifies the accuracy and lays the foundation for future research.

Bearing Stiffness

Increased use of high-speed machining creates the need to predict spindle/bearing performance at high speeds. Spindle dynamic response is a function of the nonlinear bearing stiffness. At high speeds, thermal expansion can play an important role in bearing stiffness. A complete bearing load-deflection analysis including thermal expansion is derived and is coupled with an analysis of spindle dynamic response. Steady-state temperature distribution is found from heat generation at the contact point and from a quasi three-dimensional heat transfer model. Numerical solutions give a good prediction of thermal growth and heat generation in the bearing. Predicted high-speed spindle frequencies show good agreement with experimentation. The effects of loading condition and bearing material type on bearing stiffness are also shown.

Thermal Stability Of

Purpose In high-speed processing, the influence on the machining accuracy of a machine tool is greatly caused by the thermal deformation of the motorized spindle; a further study on the thermal characteristics of the spindle is given in this paper. This study aims to reduce the thermal error and improve the performance of the machine tool by discussing the relationships between the temperature distributions and rotating accuracy caused by the thermal deformations of the spindle. Design/methodology/approach The paper opted for a method combining the theoretical analysis and the experimental study to study the thermal stability of the high-speed motorized spindle. First of all, a finite element model of the spindle was built with ANSYS, whereby temperature distributions and the thermal deformations were successively obtained at different speeds. And then, both the temperature field and the rotating accuracy of the motorized spindle were measured simultaneously by the thermal stability experiment. Finally, the experimental and theoretical results were compared and validated. Findings The thermal stability of the motorized spindle was studied in this paper, and some findings from the study were as follows: the spindle’s rotating accuracy maintained good in X direction but bad in Y and Z directions in terms of the deformations; the higher front-end temperature of the spindle which can significantly affect the rotating accuracy is needed to be controlled mainly; the recovery speed of the spindle deformation lagged behind the temperature’s fallback speed; the vibration graph about radial rotating sensitivity synthesized by X1 and X2 presented a trifoliate shape. Originality/value Based on a built test-bed which can synchronously measure the motorized spindle’s temperature distribution and rotating accuracy with five-point method, the coupling effects of the thermal deformation and temperature are embodied, and not only the vibration graph but also the thermal tilt angles can be gained. Therefore, considering the influence of the thermal deformation on the heat generated by the bearings, the paper fulfilled a study by which it was obtained that the front-end temperature of the spindle, which was higher and could significantly affect the rotating accuracy, needed to be controlled mainly.
