A Study on the Coling Charaacteristics of a High Precision Machine Tool spindle

고정밀 공작기계 주축계의 냉각특성에 관한 연구

Unsteady-state temperature distributions and thermal deformations of a high presision spindle are stueied in this paper. Thress dimensional model is built for analysis, and the amount of heat transfer coefficient are estimated. Temperature distributions and thermal deformations of a model are analyzed using the finite element method and the thermal boundary values. Numerical results are compared with the measured data. The results show that the thermal deformations and the temperature distributions of a high precision machine spindle can be reasonably estimated using the three dimensional model and the finite element method, and that the temperature rise by the heat generation of the bearing is effectively lowered by cooling of the shaft and the housing of a machine tool spindle.
