This paper presents an optimum design of herringbone grooved journal bearing for spindle motor of hard disk drive (HDD) system. In addition to the conventional “rectangular” groove, various groove profiles are designed. The stiffness and damping coefficients of the oil film and frictional torque are calculated and compared for tile various groove profiles. The “circular”, “valley”, and “reversed saw tooth” grooves do not produce high direct stiffness, since they partly increase the groove depths in the direction of lubricant flow, causing to reduce the pumping action of the bearing. The maximum direct stiffness can be obtained by the “rectangular”, “saw tooth”, and “step” grooves. With the same cross sectional area of the grooves, these three grooves have the same maximum stiffness, damping coefficients, and frictional torque. Among these recommendable grooves, the saw tooth groove may keep its original profile for long, enduring metal-to-metal contact during startup and shutdown.

This paper presents a finite element analysis of the electromechanical field in the spindle motor of a computer hard disk drive considering the speed control and mechanical flexibility. The driving circuit equation is modified by considering the switching action of PWM inverter, and is coupled with the Maxwell equation to obtain the nonlinear time-stepping finite element equation for the analysis of magnetic field. Magnetic force and torque are calculated by the Maxwell stress tensor. Mechanical motion of a rotor is determined by a time-stopping finite element method considering the flexibility of shaft, rotor and bearing. Both magnetic and mechanical finite element equations are combined in the closed loop to control the speed using PWM. Simulation results are verified by the experiments, and they are in food agreement with the experimental results.

This Paper proposes a simple identification method of the moment of inertia for high performance spindle motor of machine tool. It uses the dynamic equation of a simple mechanical system, the torque reference of a speed controller, and the actual rotating speed of machine. The identified inertia can be for auto-tuning of the gains in the speed controller. The effectiveness of the proposed method is proved by the computer simulation.

This paper presents spindle motor with fluid dynamic hearing(FDB) for hard disk drives. Thrust hearing of FDB requires appropriate pressure to operate in smooth rotations. In this study, the thrust forte between rotor and thrust yoke is analyzed using 3D finite clement method and experimental results are compared with the simulated one.

This paper introduces an electric gear to run a high speed spindle motor. Compared with inverter driving, electric gear can be used to reduce switching loss caused by using high switching frequency and improve heating problem on reactor with sinusoidal current wave form. In this paper advantages and disadvantages of electric gear are presented in comparison with those of inverter driving and mechanical gear, and its usefulness is verified by means of experimental approach.

Spindle motor current is used to estimate the cutting force indirectly and control the feed rate for the cutting force regulation. The proposed algorithm is implemented to a DSP board based hardware for the industrial application. The software to make POP terminal communicate with the DSP board and POP server is coded under Windows 95 environment. Experiments under varying cutting conditions show that the DSP board recognizes the information of installed cutting tool and cutting conditions delivered from the POP server to use them for the proper control of the feed rate. The cutting force is regulated well during machining of tapered or stepped workpiece and circular shaped workpiece as well.

The thermal characteristics of high-speed air spindle system with built-in motor are studied. Experiment and finite difference method analysis obtain temperature rise and temperature distribution of housing. For the analysis, air fluid film model is built and temperature rise and distribution in thermal steady state are computed for each rotational speed. Generally, it is said that the heat generation of air bearing is negligible. But the heat generation in air film by heat dissipation can not be negligible especially into high-speed region of the journal. In case that the heat generation of air spindle system is high, natural frequency of the spindle system becomes lower when the thermal state is in steady-state and it means the changes of air bearing stiffness due to the change of bearing clearance. It is shown that the temperature rise of air spindle system causes thermal expansion and induces the variation of bearing clearance. In consequence the stiffness of air bearing becomes smaller.

A cone-shaped active magnetic healing spindle system for high speed internal grinding with built-in motor that has 7.5kW power and maximum rotational speed of 50,000 rpm is designed and built. Using cone-shaped AMB(Active Magnetic Bearing) system, the axial rotor dick and magnets of conventional 5-axis actuating design can be eliminated. so this concept of design provides a simple magnetic bearing system. In this paper, the cone-shaped electromagnets are designed by magnetic circuit theory, and a de-coupled direct feedback PID controller is applied to control the coupled magnetic bearings. The designed crone-shaped AMB spindle system is built and constructed with a digital control system, which has TMS320C6702 DSP, 16 bit AD/DA, switching power amplifier and gap sensors. As the AMB system provides high damping ratio eliminating overshoot and resonance speed, this spindle runs up to 40,000 rpm stably with about 5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of runout.

To monitor the torque of an induction motor using current, the accurate identification of the motor parameters is very important. In this study, the motor parameters such as rotor resistance, stator and rotor leakage inductance, mutual inductance are estimated for torque monitoring and indirect vector control. Estimated parameters are used to monitor the torque of vector controlled induction motor without any speed measuring sensor. Stator current is measured to estimate the magnetizing current which is used to calculate flux linkage, rotor velocity and motor torque. From the experiments, the proposed method shows a good estimation of the motor parameters and torque under the normal rotational speed.

IPTV 셋톱박스에서 가장 많이 사용하는 저장장치인 하드디스크는 가격에 비해 저장용량이 크고 입출력 속도가 빠르지만 스핀들 모터의 기계적 동작으로 인해 전력 소모가 많다는 단점이 있다. 셋톱박스에서 스트리밍 데이터를 재생하기 위하여 하드디스크의 스핀들 모터는 최대 전력을 사용하는 활성모드를 계속 유지해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 스트리밍 데이터 재생 시 전력 소모를 감소시키는 오프셋-버퍼링(Offset-Buffering)과 다중모드 스핀-다운(Multi Mode Spin-Down) 기법을 제안한다. 오프셋-버퍼링은 사용자의 시청 패턴을 분석하고 분석된 결과를 통해 버퍼링을 하므로 스핀들 모터의 모드를 대기모드로 길게 유지할 수 있다. 또한 오프셋 버퍼의 크기에 따라 다양한 모드로 스핀-다운을 하여 전력 소모를 줄일 수 있다. 실험 결과 본 논문에서 제안한 오프셋-버퍼링과 다중모드 스핀-다운은 기존의 풀-버퍼링(Full-Buffering)보다 28.3% 전력 소모량을 감소시켰으며, 스핀-업 횟수를 12.5% 줄였다.
