The High Speed Influence on Inherent Frequency of Motorized Spindle

Abstract

The paper determines the impact factors of high-speed spindle system including the centrifugal force, gyroscopic moments and the bearing stiffness softening, and builds the general spindle-bearing FEM considering high speeds. Taking a motorized spindle as example, the effect of centrifugal force, gyroscopic effect, the radial stiffness and the coupling factors are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Finally the research shows the variations of bearing radial stiffness, centrifugal force and gyroscopic moments have a significant effect on dynamics of spindle system in high speeds, while modeling the high speed spindle system, above factors must be considered.
