FSI 해석법을 이용한 고속 주축계의 열특성 해석

FSI (Fluid Structure Interaction) method, in this study, has been applied to analyzing thermal characteristics of a high speed machine tool spindle system. The spindle is composed of angular contact ceramic ball bearings, a high speed built-in motor, a cooling jacket, and so on. The cooling jacket has three inlets and outlets. Using the FSI method, temperature distributions and thermal displacements of the spindle system were computed considering the heating of the front and rear bearings and the built-in motor. The results computed using the FSI method were compared with those determined by experiment and using the conventional numerical approach. The results determined using the FSI method were similar to those from the conventional numerical approach but showed better agreement with the experimental results. Therefore, it is concluded that the FSI method is useful for analyzing the thermal characteristics of high speed spindles and can be applied to the design of high speed spindles.
