CALCULATION AND SIMULATION OF THE CLEARANCE FOR FLEXIBLE HIGH-SPEED BEATING-UP SYSTEM CONSIDERING RESISTANCE EFFECT by QIU HaiFei

“…The beating-up resistance from sley was transformed into an equivalent torque on rocking shaft by use of step function. The results of contact dynamics simulation with different clearance states show that there are obvious differences between flexible body simulation and rigid body simulation, and the former can better reflect the real situation of beating-up; The clearance of 0.03 mm and 0.06 mm has a great influence on sley vibration which is not conducive to reduce vibration and noise for loom system; 0.09 mm clearance will not only cause high-frequency reaction force on main shaft bearing, but also aggravate contact and collision between crank and connecting rod; There are many overlaps between centroid trajectory of flexible main shaft with clearance and ideal trajectory, because of that, multi-point contact collision occurs in the crank bearing. …”

The Nonlinear Stability Prediction and FEM Modeling of High-Speed Spindle System with Joints Dynamic Characteristics by Bo Wang, Wei Sun, Kunpeng Xu, Junyong Zhang, Bangchun Wen

“…When predicting the nonlinear stability of high-speed spindle system, it is necessary to create an accurate model that reflects the dynamic characteristics of the whole system, including the spindle-bearing joint and spindle-holder-tool joints. In this paper, the distribution spring model of spindle-holder-tool joints was built with the consideration of its dynamic characteristics; the five-DOF dynamic model of the angle contact ball bearing was also established to study the influence of speed and preload on the spindle-bearing joint, both of which were used in the general whole complete spindle system FEM model. …”
