The Dynamics Modeling and Simulation of Spindle System of Ultra-High Speed Grinding Machine Tool

Abstract

This study was focused on the theoretical modeling and numerical simulation about the dynamic characteristics of spindle system of ultra-high speed grinder. Based on the rotor dynamics and structural system dynamics, a dynamic model was established using the transfer matrix method and the overall transfer matrix method. The critical speeds of first three orders, the modes of variation and other dynamic characteristic parameters of the spindle system were analyzed and calculated. The results showed that the working speed of the spindle system is much lower than the primary critical speed and can therefore stay away the resonance range effectively. Furthermore, the span of the fulcrum bearing and the overhang had significant influences on the critical speed within a certain range, and the study provided the basis and guidance for the structural design and performance optimization of the spindle system.
