Thermal deformation prediction of high-speed motorized spindle based on thermal behaviour simulation

This paper conduct research to the temperature field distribution and spindle’s thermal deformation of motorized spindle by applying finite element thermal-structural coupled numerical simulation technology. And this paper also researched the radial displacement produced by the inner and outer ring’s axial displacement of the angular contact ball bearing. Thus the combination between the finite element thermal-structural coupled numerical simulation technology and thermal error analytic modelling is realized. The analysis results of motorized spindle error is made. The analysis results show that this method is effective in predicting the temperature and thermal error of motorized spindle.
