Effects of Bearing Configuration on Spindle Dynamic Characteristics

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article investigates the effects of bearing configuration on the spindle dynamic characteristics. First, an analytical model of spindle is proposed and the bearing sets radial stiffness is calculated. Second, the spindle analytical model is developed to perform modal analysis and harmonic response analysis with ANSYS, and then obtain the natural frequency and FRF under different bearing configurations. The result suggests that bearing configuration has little effect on the natural frequency of spindle system and the FRF amplitude corresponding to the 1st natural frequency under back to back configuration or face to face configuration is relatively small. Finally, the proposed model is validated by modal experiment.
