Modeling Method Analysis of the Friction Torque for High Speed Spindle Bearing

Abstract

The friction torque inside the high-speed spindle bearing determines the performance of the friction, wear, heat, temperature rise and life of the bearing. Aim to analyze the high-speed spindle bearing dynamic characteristics, considering the influence of cage and internal lubricating oil-film, a quasi-static improved model of high-speed spindle bearing was developed. And a new method for calculating the friction torque of the bearing based on the quasi-static improved model was put forward. Then the theory and experiment were validated systematically. The results show that the quasi-static improved model is correct, and the method of calculating the friction torque of high-speed spindle bearing based the quasi-static improved model is feasible and reliable.
