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.

Thermal deformation is an important factor to affect the accuracy of the motorized spindle, the core component of high-speed machine tool. To understand the spindle system transient thermal characteristics of the high-speed turning center CH7516GS, some high-precision sensors and high-frequency data acquisition system is used to establish the temperature and displacement measuring system. The thermal deformation compensation model is established on the basis of the experimental test results.

Motorized spindle thermal deformation is a major factor affecting the accuracy of high-speed machine tool, previous studies have focused on asynchronous motorized spindle, however, in this paper, permanent magnet synchronous motorized spindle is the research object. At first, the finite element model of thermal characteristics of motorized spindle is established base on its thermal characteristics analysis. The second, study on the distribution of the spindle steady-state temperature field, effect of spindle speed and bearing lubrication on thermal deformation of spindle. The results provide a strong theoretical basis for the design and use of spindle.

Recently, it is essential to enhance the value of the products to make them more competitive. Therefore, the technical level of the high-precision products is required. Thermal deformation error, which accounts for a significant effect of processing accuracy of machine tools. In order to reduce thermal deformation error such studies the thermal characteristics of the Hydrostatic spindle is required. In this study, we could confirm the reliability of the analysis by assessing the thermal characteristics through measurement of the grinding machine temperature and thermal structural analysis. The temperature of the front bearing 10 °C or more higher than the temperature of the rear bearing, thermal deformation of the spindle, was found to be dependent on the temperature of the hydrostatic bearing. And could identify the thermal characteristics of the hydrostatic spindle.

Thermal deformation of high-speed motorized spindle has an important effect on improving the machining accuracy. In this paper the thermal boundary conditions of thermal deformation, including the heat generation of the motor and bearing and heat transfer coefficient, are calculated to simulate the steady-state temperature field distribution, transient thermal analysis and thermal deformation in ANSYS Workbench. They provide theoretically the data for the thermal error compensation of the spindle system.

A combination of finite element and conjugate gradient methods to establish an inverse method for estimating heat sources as well as temperatures of a micro high speed motorized spindle is presented in this article. The proposed method is simple in constructing the direct problem by using COMSOL software. Experiment setup and measurement process are introduced. Results show that inverse solutions agree with experimental data based on temperatures at only one measurement point. Influence of speed on heat sources and temperatures is indicated. Temperature distribution in the spindle is also given and discussed. From these findings, it can be said that the proposed method is appropriated for inversely determining the heat source in micro high speed motorized spindle. The obtained results provide useful information to estimate thermal deformation.

Abstract With the development of motorized spindle, the cooling effect and the distribution of cooling capacity become the crucial problem of cooling system. An optimization method for ThermoElectric-based Cooling System (TECS) is proposed based on the conservation of energy to distribute the cooling capacity. The main strategy of the proposed optimization method is to make the cold and heat input at different regions of the spindle sleeve equal in real-time through optimizing the contact area between the Heat Conduction Sleeve (HCS) and spindle sleeve. The numerical simulation and thermal characteristics experiments are carried to verify the effect of the proposed optimization method and the TECS. The simulation and experimental results show that the maximum temperature rise and thermal elongation of the TECS-based motorized spindle are reduced 56.7% and 58.6% compared with water-cooled motorized spindle, and the temperature distribution of the spindle sleeve is more uniform. It is meaningful to improve the accuracy of motorized spindle.

This paper presents an experimental investigation on a modified airlift pump. Experiments were undertaken as a function of air-water flow rate for two submergence ratios (ε=0.58 and 0.74), and two different riser geometries (i) straight pipe with a constant inner diameter of 19 mm and (ii) enlarged pipe with a sudden expanded diameter of 19 to 32 mm. These transparent vertical pipes, of 1 m length, were submerged in a transparent rectangular tank (0.45×0.45×1.1 m3). The compressed air was injected into the vertical pipe to lift the water from the reservoir. The flow map regime is established for both configurations and compared with previous studies. The two phase air-water flow structure at the expansion region is experimentally characterized. Pipeline geometry is found to have a significant influence on the output water flow rate. Using high speed photography and electrical conductivity probes, new flow regimes, such as “slug to churn” and “annular to churn” flow, are observed and their influence on the output water flow rate and efficiency are discussed. These experimental results provide fundamental insights into the physics of modified airlift pump.

The coolant (water) pump assumes an important role of cooling system in IC engines. With upgrading of the engine power by turbocharging and turbo inter cooling, the water pump capacity needs to be increased corresponding to the power. This capacity enhancement has to be achieved without calling for a major change in the existing water pump, envelop and related fitment details. This requires a clear understanding of centrifugal pump for its performance parameter. One such engine is upgraded by turbocharging from 195PS to 240PS @2200 rpm. Improving water pump flow by changing the impeller dimensions, impeller casing, increase the suction, delivery pipe diameter had been done. Validation of the water pump in its actual engine installation was taken up as a part of the research work. Flow rate comparison of the new pump with the existing pump was made and the results were analyzed. The new water pump gives better flow rates for the engine speeds up to1800 rpm, beyond which the flow rate is slightly lesser than the existing pump.
