This paper is presented for the design of the thrust yoke for the spindle motors. HDD spindle motors are rotated by fluid dynamic bearing which consists of the shaft and the sleeve with the groove to generate the pressure. Because the thrust and journal clearances between shaft and sleeve is too small, around 8um and 2.5um, respectively, it is very difficult to design the bearing to come up to the disks to read and write the data. By the way, it is also so hard to overcome the load of the disks with only the thrust bearing. So, the paper is proposed for the trust yoke to come up to the disks considering of the force of the thrust bearing. In this paper, we proposed the thrust yoke with an unique fluid dynamic bearing in comparison with the motors without thrust yoke. Experimental results show the performance of the thrust yoke of the spindle motors for an HDD.

An effective control of the axial thrust of a turbopump is one of the critical issues for its operational stability. In order to assure the stability of a turbopump-type fuel pump for a liquid rocket engine, an axial thrust measurement system was developed and a series of axial thrust tests were performed in water environment. In the tests, the axial thrust of the fuel pump at the design flowrate satisfied the axial force condition of the bearing of the pump. Also, it was found that by using orifices with different geometries in the secondary flow passage the overall axial thrust of the pump could be controlled.

최근 들어서는 지구환경보호와 에너지자원 고갈의 위기감 속에 에너지절약기기의 니즈가 급속하게 가속화되고 있다. 산업분야에서의 에너지절약기기로서는 고효율모터나 인버터가 사용되고 있는데 아직 이들 기기의 보급률은 낮은 실정이다. 점차 에너지절약기기에 대한 관심이 높아 가는 가운데, 한편 산업용전력 사용량의 약 70$\%$를 모터가 차지하고 있다고 알려지고 있으며 모터 유닛의 손실 삭감으로 큰 에너지절약 효과를 기대할 수 있기 때문에 3상모터의 고효율화 요구와 인버터구동에 의한 에너지절약니즈가 급속히 퍼지고 있다. 3상모터의 에너지절약 니즈에는 위험지구(폭발성 분위기) 안에서 사용되는 용도도 많아 이와 같은 위험장소에서 사용되는 방폭전기기기에서는 1993년의 국제규격(IEC 규격)에 정합(整合)된 신JIS 방폭규격의 발행으로 정전의 일본독자적인 방폭규격은 폐지되고 이 새로운 JIS 방폭규격에의 통합 움직임이 있었다. 미쓰비시전기는 이와 같은 동향에 대응하기 위하여 고성능$\cdot$에너지절약 모터 ''수퍼라인 에코시리즈''로서 고효율 시리즈, 인버터구동 전용토크 시리즈, 신JIS방폭규격대응 안전증(安全增) 방폭형 시리즈를 제품화하였다. 수퍼라인 에코시리즈는 동사 독자의 강판프레임을 사용하여 철저한 저손실 설계의 채택으로 업계 톱클래스의 고효율$\cdot$에너지절약을 실현하였다. 인버터구동에 최적한 특성, 내환경성의 강화와 베어링의 장수명화에 의한 장기(長期) 메인터넌스프리화 및 저소음$\cdot$저진동화를 실현한 고성능모터이다.

Surface rolling is one of the plastic deformation processes, which improves surface roughness and increases hardness. The surface rolling tool used in this experiment was specially designed by author for surface rolling on cast iron. The cutting feeds were 0.10mm/rev.and 0.30mm/rev.The applied forces of rolling were in the range of 10kgf to 30kgf with 5kgf differences. The results obtained are as follows. (1) In general the good surface roughness can be obtained with the applied force 25kgf according to surface roughness of the previous turning. (2) The hardness is mainly increased at the first rolling process and is more increased with the increasing applied forces. (3) The reduction of the diameter heavily depends on the original surface roughness. That is, the larger surface roughness is, the larger is the reduction is the reduction of diameter.

In this paper the dynamic characteristics of self acting air lubricated slider bearing of hard disk/head system are investigated. The dynamic equations of magnetic head mechanism considering both parallel and pitch motion and the time dependent modified Reynolds equation are analyzed and the dynamic pressure distribution of air film is numerically calculated in frequency domain by small perturbation method and finite difference scheme with variable grid. The dynamic response of the slider spacing is obtained accordingly as the moving recording surface vibrates in parallel mode.

A 500Wh class high-speed Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) driven by a built-in BLDC motor/generator has been designed, which runs from 30000 to 60000rpm nominally. Due to the motor/generator inside, the flywheel rotor made of composites supported by PM/EM hybrid bearing system has a shape of bell or pendulum and thus requires accurate rotordynamic analysis and prediction of its dynamic behavior to secure the operating reliability. Rotordynamic analyses of the flywheel rotor-bearing system revealed that the bell shaped rotor has two conical rigid-body modes in the system operating range and the first conical mode, of which nodal point lies in the radial EM bearing position, can adversely affect the dynamic response of the rotor at the corresponding critical speed. To eliminate the possibility of wild behavior of the rotor, two guide bearings are adopted at the upper end of the rotor and motor/generator. It was also revealed that the EM bearing stiffness if 0.5~1.0E+6 N/m and damping of 2000 Ns/m are favirable for smooth operation of the system around the 2nd critical speed.

Large quantity of bending deformation as well as rotating torque fluctuation at the balance shaft are main struggles during the operation in a high speed rotation and thereby, two issues should be cleared at the design process of balance shaft module. Since two issues are highly related with balance shaft itself and particularly much sensitive to the location of both supporting bearing and unbalance mass, the design strategy on balance shaft should be investigated at the aspect of controlling two critical issues at the early stage of balance shaft design. To tackle two main problems, the formulation of objective function that minimizes critical issues, both bending deformation as well as torque fluctuation, is suggested to derive the optimal information on balance shaft. Then, optimal informations are reviewed at the practical logics and the guideline at the selection of locations, both supporting bearing and unbalance mass, is addressed at the final chapter.

A multi-tasking machine tool for large scale marine engine crankshafts has been developed together with design technologies for its special devices. Since work pieces, that is, crankshafts to be machined are big and heavy; weight of over 100 tons, length of 10 m long, and diameter of over 3.5 m, several special purpose core devices are necessarily developed such as PTD (Pin Turning Device) for machining eccentric pin parts, face place and steady rest for chucking and resting heavy work pieces. PTD is a unique special purpose device of open-and-close ring typed structure equipped with revolving ring spindle for machining eccentric pins apart from journal. In order to achieve high rigidity of the machine tool, structural design optimization using TMSA (Taguch Method based Sequential Algorithm) has been completed with FEM structural analysis, and a hydrostatic bearing system for the PTD has been developed with theoretical hydrostatic analysis.

Wind power, which is one of the promising renewable energies, has shown the high growth rate of 35 % of the annual average in the recent 5 years and also windmill related equipment market has been fast-growing. Yaw & Pitch bearing are the key parts of windmill and are machined by huge vertical lathe which is monopolized by the advanced countries. The purpose of this study is to develop the multi-tasking vertical lathe for 5 MW grade windmill bearings, which might be mass produced 3 or 5 years later. In this study, the structure of the crossrail and rotary table, which are the key units of the huge multi-tasking vertical lathe, were optimized through the finite element analysis. Also the basic performance of the rotary table has been evaluated.

Worm gear sets may be either single- or double-enveloping. In a single-enveloping set, the worm wheel is cut into a concave surface, thus partially enclosing the worm when meshed. The double-enveloping worm gear is similar to the single-enveloping gear; however, the worm envelopes the worm gear. Thus both are throated. The double-enveloping worm gear has more of the tooth surface in contact than the single-enveloping worm gear. The larger contact area increases the load-carrying capacity. For this reason, double-enveloping worm gearing is widely applied in heavy-duty machinery, for applications including construction and metallurgy. In this paper, we designed a compact reduction gear that is highly efficient using double-enveloping worm gears. We calculated the bearing load in the worm gearing to select the bearing and the housing surface area according to the recommended values from AGMA(American Gear Manufacturers Association). The finite element method was used to assess the structural integrity.
