The spindle is the main component in machine tools. The static and dynamic characteristics of the spindle directly affect the machining accuracy of workpieces. The characteristics of the spindle depend on the shaft size, bearing span, built-in motor location, and so on. Therefore, the appropriate selection of these parameters is important to improve the spindle characteristics. This paper presents the analysis of the static and dynamic characteristics and optimization design of a 40,000-rpm high-speed spindle. Statistical analysis for optimization and finite element analysis were performed. This study uses the response surface method to optimize the objective function and design factors. The targets are the natural frequency and displacement. The design factors are the shaft length, shaft diameter, bearing span, and motor location. The optimized design provides better results than the initial model, and these results are expected to improve the static and dynamic characteristics of the spindle.

Spindle design is very important for the improvement of the competitive power in production cost of high quality machine tools. The important factor in spindle design is not only to improve the natural frequency of spindle but also to reduce displacement of spindle end. In this paper, parameters those influence on static and dynamic stiffness of high-speed spindle have selected form preceding studies. And those selected parameters are applied to Taguchi Method. To perform FEM analysis, bearing conditions are selected with optimized condition. To know how to improve static and dynamic stiffness of machine tool spindle, natural frequency and displacement of spindle end are obtained by FEM analysis. The Taguchi Method was used to draw optimized condition of bearing position and it's stiffness. From these results, amplitude of vibration is enough good less than $3{\mu}m$ pk-pk of the spindle of 40,000rpm manufactured in this work by the optimal design.

This study aims to evaluate the stress and life of cylindrical roller bearings used in aircraft gearboxes, and to select a roller profile that minimises the contact stress between bearing rollers and raceways. The mounting clearance of four points contact ball bearing was determined, so that cylindrical roller bearings support all radial loads, and the bearing mounting position was determined to maximise the bearing lives. In addition, the static safety factor and dynamic life of bearing were predicted according to ISO 76 & ISO/TS 16281 using the load spectrum determined based on the operating load cases of aircraft gearboxes. Furthermore, the optimal roller profile was selected by analysing the contact stress according to the roller profile shape, and the safety of each roller was evaluated. The results stated that the required safety factor and lifetime were satisfied, and Johns Gohar roller profile was optimal.

Damages of the main engine aftmost bearing and the after stern tube bearing tend to increase due to misalignment. And as the shafting system becomes stiffer due to the large engine power, whereas the hull structure becomes more flexible due to optimization by using high tensile thin steel plates. And this is the reason that more sophisticated shaft alignments are required. In this study, the optimum shafting alignment calculation was carried out, considering the thermal expansion effect, exploiting the sensitivity index, which indicates the reasonable position of forward intermediate shaft bearing for shaft alignment. and as the main subject in this study, the elastic deformation on intermediate shaft and main engine bearings occurred by vertical load of shaft mass were examined thoroughly and analyzed allowable load of bearings, reaction influence numbers of all bearings. As the result, a reliable optimum shafting alignment was derived theoretically. To verify these results, they were referred to the engine maker's technical information of main engine installation and being used shafting alignment programs of both Korean Register of Shipping and Det Norske Veritas, their reliability were reviewed.

The thermal deformation of machine tool spindle influences the performance of the manufacturing systems for precision products. According to previous studies, major factors that will affect the stiffness of the spindle include spindle diameter, elasticity of the material, bearing stiffness and bearing span. It is difficult to change spindle diameter or elasticity of the material. but change of bearing position is easy in the given range compared to other factors. In this paper, we will find a solution to minimize thermal deformation through Change the span of the bearing.

This paper presents analysis of dynamic characteristics of a high-speed milling spindle with a built-in motor. The spindle system with a built-in motor can be used to simplify the structure of machine tools. to improve tire machining flexibility of machine. tools, and to perform the high speed machining. In this system the shaft is usually assumed as a rigid rotor. In the spindle system design, it is very important to improve modal characteristics, and modal analysis is performed in the first place. Therefore in this paper, on the assumption that supporting bearings of spindle was selected most suitable condition, analyzed dynamic characteristics of a high-speed spindle according to its position. Optimal design was applicated to select most suitable position of bearings. Considered tile mass and stiffness effects of the built-in motor's rotor are analyzed by numerical method. The result shows the natural frequency of 1st bending mode of spindle.
