Popis: In recent years, high-performance spindles are required for multi-tasking machine tools to enhance the productivity. Such spindles enable efficient rough cutting and fine finishing of a workpiece on one machine. In order to meet this requirement, a spindle unit must be highly stiff and operate at high rotational. Spindle specifications require a rotational number of 50,000min-1 and dN value of 3,000,000, a smaller motor was downsized and an electric loss restrained by reducing the thickness of laminate sheets composing the rotor core. A direct-injection type of ultra trace quantity lubrication and a preload switching system were used for ball bearings for high rotational speed and high stiffness. We discuss how these technical requirements were met and the results of basic experiments.
