Finite Element Analysis on Mechanical Properties of Lathe Spindle

Abstract:

The ANSYS software was used to carry out finite element analysis on the mechanical properties of lathe spindle, taking C7620 lathe as research object. By static analysis, the maximum deformation and maximum stress value of spindle in specific operation were determined. Furthermore, spring-damper element was adopted to simulate elastic supports of bearing in dynamic analysis, and then the natural frequencies of the first five ranks and vibration modes of spindle were obtained. The research results in this paper have theoretical and practical significance in optimizing the design of lathe spindle parts and shortening production cycle.
