Dynamic Parameter Analysis of Spindle Bearing Using 3-Dimension Quasi-Dynamic Model

Abstract

Spindle bearing with high rotational speed is the kernel of many rotating machines which plays massive important role in the performance of the whole machine. There are also some deficiencies of the present quasi-dynamic mathematical models of the rolling bearing in analyzing the bearing dynamic parameters. This paper develops the 3D quasi-dynamic model with ball’s 6-DOF, cage’s 6-DOF, and driving ring’s 5-DOF under steady working stage, based on the analysis of the relative position of each component to determine the normal forces between each component and the analysis of the relative velocity of the contacting point to determine the tangential force between each component. This model can analyze the dynamic parameters, such as the spin-to-roll ratio of inner and outer rings, the angular velocity of rolling elements in y-axis of the location coordinate, the normal contact force of cage pocket and ball, the cage angular velocity and ball revolution velocity, and the gyroscopic moment under different working condition. Compared with the numerical calculation results of ADORE program, the results of the proposed model are able to accurately describe the change laws of the spindle bearing parameters.
