This research investigates how characteristics of ball bearing affect non-repeatable runout(NRRO) in a HDD spindle system at elevated temperature. It shows that the elevated temperature results in the increase of bearing contact angle and the decrease of bearing deformation due to the different thermal expansion rate of the components of the HDD spindle system. The increase of contact angle at elevated temperature is so small that the variation of bearing frequencies is negligible. On the other hand, the decrease of bearing deformation at elevated temperature reduces the stiffness of ball bearing and the natural frequencies of HDD spindle system consequently, which changes the amplitude and the frequency distribution of NRRO.

This paper proposes the state-space model of the thermal behavior of the spindle system to establish dynamic mathematical model of thermal characteristics in machine tool spindle system. the model is derived form physical law of heat transfer and thermoelasticity and represents the thermal behavior induced by uneven thermal expansions whitin a bearing. The model, which is sucessfully validated for two typical configurations of high speed spindle assembles, provides a tool for understanding the basis mechanics of induced thermal expansion as a function of initial preload, spindle speed and housing cooling conditions.

Machining accuracy of machine tools spindles using the hydrostatic bearing, largely depends on the static stiffness and the thermal deformation of the spindle unit. In this paper, the modelling and static, thermal analysis of the hydrostatic spindles were performed for the relationship between the design variables like the bearing span, overhang, bearing stiffness and static stiffness at spindle. The goal of optimization is the mazimum, static stiffness at spindle nose with lower temperature rise in hydrostatic bearing. Temperature rise of hydrostatic bearing is minimized with the variables of spindle diameter and oil supply pressure. Finally, validity of the proposed algorithm is verified by improving the static, thermal performance of the existing hydrostatic spindles.

The spindle motor in a computer hard disk drive can be modeled as a rotor-bearing system supported by the base plate. Ball bearing is the crucial element to determine the stiffness of the spindle motor, and its design parameters and operating conditions determine the dynamic characteristics of the spindle motor. In the analysis of a rotor-bearing system with a short shaft like a spindle motor, the stiffness of the base plate as well as ball bearings must be considered accurately to analyze the dynamic charateristics of a spindle motor. In this paper, the lateral and the axial vibration of the spindle motor were analyzed by the transfer matrix method for the dual-shaft rotor-bearing model and by d.o.f lumped parameter model, respectively. The simulation results had good agreements with the experimental modal testing. The dynamic characteristics were fully investigated for the change of the major design parameters of the spindle motor, i.e. the preload of ball bearings and the rotational speed.

The spindle unit is core parts in high precision machine tools. Diverse static, dynamic and thermal charateristics of spindle unit are needed for special purpose of machine tools. Compromise between those charateristics will be done in concept design phase. High static stiffness at spindle nose may be very important performance for heavy cutting work. High dynamic stiffness is also useful to high precision and high speed machine tools. Improvement of thermal charateristics in spindle lead to high reliability of positioning accuracy. For high speed spindle structure, the design parameter such as, bearing span, diameter, bearing type and arrangement, preload, cooling and lubrication method should be in harmony.

The experimental characterization of hydrodynamic bearing spindle motor is performed for the practical implementation of high-performance hard disk drive system. Firstly, the design concept of hydrodynamic bearing for the disk drive system is addressed including the herringbone grooved journal bearing, the spiral grooved thrust bearing, capillary seal design, and the viscous pumping of fluid. Secondly, the experimental evaluation is performed for the disk drive system in which the hydrodynamic bearing spindle motor is implemented and its dynamic performances are compared with conventional ball-bearing spindle motor. The key parameters include NRRO(Non Repeatable Run-Out), disk dynamics, acoustics, and resultant PES (Position Error Signal). Finally, the external gyro-exciting test results including 200k CSS(Continuous Start-Stop) on three angular attitudes(0,90, 180 degree) are presented in order to verify the practical reliability of disk drive system subject to the gyro-motion of hydrodynamic bearing spindle motor.

Friction in bearing exerts an important effect upon power dissipation and heat generation of spindle system. This paper presents frictional moments derived from rotational axis coordinate system of spindle and frictional characteristics to spindle speed A frictional moment of spindle bearings is derived by work-energy method. Differential sliding moments in outer raceway has a major effect upon frictional resistance; spin sliding moments in inner raceway has a secondary effect. As spindle speed increases, also the frictional moments increase. In high-speed region, ceramic ball bearing 몬 smaller frictional moment than steel ball bearing.

The thermal characteristics of high-speed air spindle system with built-in motor are studied. Experiment and finite difference method analysis obtain temperature rise and temperature distribution of housing. For the analysis, air fluid film model is built and temperature rise and distribution in thermal steady state are computed for each rotational speed. Generally, it is said that the heat generation of air bearing is negligible. But the heat generation in air film by heat dissipation can not be negligible especially into high-speed region of the journal. In case that the heat generation of air spindle system is high, natural frequency of the spindle system becomes lower when the thermal state is in steady-state and it means the changes of air bearing stiffness due to the change of bearing clearance. It is shown that the temperature rise of air spindle system causes thermal expansion and induces the variation of bearing clearance. In consequence the stiffness of air bearing becomes smaller.

A high speed spindle system for machine tools can be used to reduce the machining time, to improve the machining accuracy, to perform the machining of light metals and hard materials, and to unite the cutting and grinding processes. In this study, a high speed spindle system is developed by applying the oil-air lubrication method, angular contact ball bearings, injection nozzles with dual orifices, cooling jacket and so on. And an air cooling experiment for evaluating the performance of the spindle system is carried out. Especially, in ofder to establish the air cooling conditions related to the development of a high speed spindle system, the effects of cooling air pressure, oil supply rate, air supply rate and rotational spindle speed are studied and discussed on the bearing temperature rise and frictional torque. Also the effects of cooling air pressure, rotational spindle speed and spindle system structure is investigated on the bearing temperature distribution. The experiment on the test model reveals the usefulness of the air cooling method.
