Abstract

Dynamic vibrations of air bearing motor spindles have significant influence on the surface quality in ultra-precision machining. In this article, the influence of the vibration caused by the unbalanced magnetic force on the diamond turning is investigated on the basis of the theoretical and experimental method. A permanent magnet motor model (10 poles and 12 slots) is built and then simulated to gain a periodic unbalanced magnetic force. The effects of unbalanced magnetic force on the inclination of the spindle shaft is analyzed, which would affect the surface quality of the workpiece, and the surface topography of the workpiece is predicted during an unbalanced magnetic force acting on air bearing motor spindle. The theoretical analysis and experimental turning results validate that the angle between the direction of unbalanced magnetic force and the feed direction has a certain relationship with the profile of the machined surface. Also, under different turning speeds and directions, the surface topography of the machined workpiece shows a 10-cycle-per-revolution pattern, which has good agreement with the simulations of periodic unbalanced magnetic force. This research work provides a theoretical foundation for the fault diagnosis of air bearing motor spindle caused by motor rotor eccentricity and its effect on surface generation in turning.
