The rotational performance off machine tool spindle has a direct influence upon the surface finish of the finished workpiece. This running accuracy of the spindle is improved by increasing preload on the bearings, while it results in higher temperature rise and larger thermal deformation. Therefore, finding the optimal preload condition for high speed spindle is very important factors in spindle motion. in spindle motion. In this study, the effect of the preload on the roundness accuracy has been examined at the different cutting conditions. Experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of the bearing preload on the running accuracy of high speed spindle which was supported by two angular contact bearings.

Thermal displacement of high speed spindle is very important problem to be solved. To solve heat generation and thermal displacement problems that influence on the product accuracy, it is very important to predict thermal characteristics of the spindle and it is positively necessary to select the conditions of cooling, flow rate and preload of bearings. In this paper, 30,000rpm($1.455{\times}10^6DmN$) spindle was designed and produced. The analysis of thermal deformation for heat generation of inner spindle was carried out using commercial program $ANSYS^{(R)}$ and the result was compared with measured data using $LabVIEW^{(R)}$ and SGXI-1600, 1125 and 1126 module. Temperature distribution and thermal displacement according to spindle speed are measured. Using this method, it is possible to predict and to improve thermal characteristic of high speed spindle by control spindle speed, bearing preload and cooling rate.

Most of spindles for machine tool are supported by ball bearings, and there are problems in the limits of high speed and high power as well as the cumbersome maintenance due to the short life time. In order to overcome these problems of the conventional spindles, the high speed spindle with magnetic bearings is developed in this study. Magnetic bearings for 60 000 r/min class high-speed spindle are designed, and high speed spindle with magnetic bearings are fabricated. Based on the running test up to 60 000 r/min, it is verified that the spindle is stably supported by the magnetic bearings, and the magnitude of the unbalance response at 60 000 r/min is less than $3{\mu}m$.

High speed machining has become the main issue of metal cutting. Due to increase of the rotational speed of the spindle, problems, such as the run-out errors, reduced stiffness, must be overcome to improve the machining accuracy. In order to solve the problems, it is important to determine the appropriate clamping unit and tooling system. This paper presents an investigation into an evaluation of contact interval which is the interface between spindle taper hole and tool holder shank of the spindle. Finite element analysis is performed by using a commercial code ANSYS according to variation of clamping forces and rotational speeds. This paper proposed fit tolerance in order to evaluate the effects of clamping force and rotational speed on the contact interval in the spindle interface. From the finite element results, it has been shown that the rotational speed rather than clamping force mostly influence on the variation of the contact interval.

According to the high demand of hybrid components, the hybrid materials development and processing technology were increased in the industry field. Although hybrid materials have various machining technologies, the research about them has rarely been proceed. This study is to carry out results about design technology of miniaturized high-speed air spindle and machining characteristics of hybrid materials using that. We studied machining characteristics in Nickel-Chrome alloy(Ni-Cr) according to change rotating speed using miniaturized high-speed air spindle. As the following results, the change of surface shape and roughness was investigated as the processing conditions such as rotating speed of miniaturized high-speed air spindle.

This paper presents analysis of dynamic characteristics of a high-speed milling spindle with a built-in motor. The spindle system with a built-in motor can be used to simplify the structure of machine tools. to improve tire machining flexibility of machine. tools, and to perform the high speed machining. In this system the shaft is usually assumed as a rigid rotor. In the spindle system design, it is very important to improve modal characteristics, and modal analysis is performed in the first place. Therefore in this paper, on the assumption that supporting bearings of spindle was selected most suitable condition, analyzed dynamic characteristics of a high-speed spindle according to its position. Optimal design was applicated to select most suitable position of bearings. Considered tile mass and stiffness effects of the built-in motor's rotor are analyzed by numerical method. The result shows the natural frequency of 1st bending mode of spindle.

The development of the high-efficiency machine-tools equipment and new cutting tool materials with high hardness, heat- and wear-resistance has opened the way to application of high-speed cutting process. The basic argument of using of high-speed cutting processes is the reduction of time and the respective increase of machining productivity. In this sense, the spindle units may be regarded as one of the most important units, directly affecting many parameters of high-speed machining efficiency. One of the possible types of spindle units for high-speed cutting is the air-bearing type. In this paper, we propose the mathematical model of the dynamic behavior of the air-bearing spindle. To provide the high-level of speed capacity and spindle rotation accuracy we need the adequate model of "spindle-bearings" system. This model should consider characteristics of the interactions between system components and environment. To find the working characteristics of spindle unit we should derive the equations of spindle axis movement under the affecting factors, and solve these equations together with equations which describe the behavior of lubricant layer in bearing (bearing stiffness equations). In this paper, the three influence coefficients are introduced, which describe the center of spindle mass displacement, angle of shaft rotation around the axes under the unit force application and that under the unit torque application. These coefficients are operated in the system of differential equations, which describes the spindle axis spatial movement. This system is solved by Runge-Kutta method. Obtained trajectories and amplitude-frequency characteristics were then compared to experimental ones. The analysis shows good agreement between theoretical and experimental results, which confirms that the proposed model of air-bearing spindle is correctis correct

Sealing of lubricant-air mixture in the high performance machining center is one of most the important characteristics to carry out enhanced lubrication. High speed spindle requires non-contact type of sealing mechanism. Evaluating an optimum seal design to minimize leakage is concerned in the aspect of flow control. Effect of geometry and leakage path are evaluated according to variation of sealing geometry. Velocity, pressure, turbulence intensity of profile is calculated to find more efficient geometry and variables. This offers a methodological way of enhancement seal design for high speed spindle. The working fluid is regarded as two phases that are mixed flow of oil phase and air phase. It is more reasonable to simulate an oil jet or oil mist type high speed spindle lubrication. Turbulence and compressible flow model are used to evaluate a flow characteristic. This paper considers a design effect of sealing capability of non- contact type seals for high speed spindle and analyzes leakage characteristics to minimize a leakage 7 on the same sealing area.
