This paper numerically analyzes the dynamic characteristics of a spindle system supported by two identical journal bearings considering bearing span that has dynamic load due to its mass unbalance. The Reynolds equation is transformed to solve a herringbone grooved journal bearing. The Reynolds equations are solved using FEM in order to calculate the pressure distribution in a fluid film. Reaction forces and friction torque are obtained by integrating the pressure and shear stress along the fluid film, respectively. Dynamic behaviors, such as whirl radius or angular displacement of a rotor, are determined by solving its nonlinear equations of motion with the Runge-Kutta method. This research shows that the same bearing spans of upper and lower journal bearings produce the minimum runout and friction torque of a spindle system.

High cutting speeds and feeds are essential requirements of a machine tool structure to accomplish its basic function which is to produce a workpiece of the required geometric form with an acceptable surface finish at as high a rate of production as is economically possible. Since the bearings in high speed spindle units are the main heat source of the total cutting system, in this work, the thermal characteristics of the spindle bearing system with a tilting axis were investigated using finite element methods to improve the performance of the spindle bearing system. Based on the theoretical results, a specially designed prototype spindle bearing system has been manufactured. Using the manufactured spindle bearing system, the thermal characteristics were measured. From the comparison of the experimental results with the theoretical ones, it was found that the finite element method predicted well the thermal characteristics of the spindle bearing system.

Since the spindle bearing systme is the main source of the total cutting point compliance of machine tool structures, in this work, the static and dynamic characteristics of the spndle bearing systme driven by the gear located on the bearing span were investigated using analytical and finite elemtn methods to improve the performance of the spindle bearing system. Based on the theretical results, a specially designed prototype spindle bvearing systme was manufactured. Using the manufactured spindle bearing system, the static and dynamic characteristics were measured. From the comparison of the experimental results with the theoretical results, it was found that the finite elemetn method predicted well the static and dynamic characteristics of the spindle bearing system.

The stress and deformation behavior safeties of cylindrical hollow rollers have been analyzed by the finite element method, and investigated for over design capability based on the computed results. According to the stress analysis result which is related to the strength of a hollow roller, the maximum stress of 39.8MPa in which is operated near the bearing for supporting a hollow roller structure is overestimated design as 15.9% level compared with a yield strength, 250MPa of a steel material. And the maximum deformation of 0.032mm in which is operated at the middle span of a total length of cylindrical hollow rollers is very small and sufficiently safe compared with a total length and a thickness of a hollow roller. Thus, the FEM computed results for a stress and deformation indicate that a current FEM analysis model of cylindrical hollow rollers is over designed.
