Spindle unit and procedure for adjusting frequency of its self-oscillations. RU patent 2396147.

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: unit consists of hollow spindle rotating in two - front and back - bearing supports, of tooth gear mounted on hollow spindle between supports nearer to front one, and of nut connected by thread with external surface of spindle. To extend functionality of a machine the unit is equipped with a bushing put on the hollow spindle between the supports. With its one end the bushing interacts with the end of the tooth gear, while with another end it interacts with the nut. Also thread on the hollow spindle for connection with the nut is made at direct vicinity from the back support. Length of the bushing is less than difference between distance form the end of the tooth gear to the end of the back support. Height of the nut equals to a value of a gap between the end of the nut and the end of the back support.

EFFECT: procedure is designed for adjusting frequency of spindle unit self-oscillations depending on frequency of forced oscillations during treatment and consists in control of spindle unit forced oscillations frequency by means of screwing nut with force exceeding force required for fixation of tooth gear, when frequency of oscillations exceeds lower threshold meaning.

Device for fixation of spindle in metal-cutting equipment of various purpose / 2386518
Device is intended for control of spindle mechanism in the form of rotary spindle with pulley for drilling-milling-boring works, fixed spindle for turning works and replacement of tool, and comprises body and pins for fixation of spindle. In order to expand technological resources, it is equipped with plank, on which pins are installed, pneumatic cylinder intended for movement of plank with pins, pusher and spring for return of pusher and pins. At the same time pins are intended for interaction with slots arranged on pulley installed on spindle.

Spindle / 2370344
Invention relates to machine building, particularly to spindles with built-in motors and magnetic bearings, and can be used incorporated with machine tools, centrifuges and various centrifugal plants. Proposed spindle comprises housing, motor, hollow shaft, unit of magnetic bearings (UMB) and safety bearings running on axle fitted inside the shaft, attached to spindle end face and furnished with damper representing a disk and elastomer ring. UMB is arranged at the hollow shaft output area plugged on the side of operating tool.

Spindle rotating apparatus / 2245225
Apparatus includes supports of spindle mounted in housing and unit for enhancing accuracy of spindle rotation. In order to improve accuracy of rotation mode, front supports of spindle are in the form of two radial thrust bearing assemblies. Unit for enhancing rotation mode accuracy is in the form of ring mounted between said radial thrust bearing assemblies and having piezoelectric members to plates of which electric current is supplied from power source. Height of piezoelectric members exceeds thickness value of ring by several micrometers. Electric current intensity and number of piezoelectric members are selected depending upon value of additional interference created in radial thrust bearing assemblies.

Spindle device for machining / 2464129
Invention relates to machine building, particularly, to metal working machine tools. Proposed spindle device comprises housing, drive shaft with system for locking it required angular operating position and automatic tool replacement means. Aforesaid system is arranged between shaft bearings, nearby front bearings, and made up of friction and thrust discs and friction disc locking means. Thrust disc is rigidly fixed on housing while friction disc is arranged between thrust disc and its locking means and rigidly fixed on said shaft. Friction disc locking means is arranged on spindle housing to reciprocate thereon.

Spindle assembly / 2465986
Spindle assembly includes hollow spindle coaxially located inside bearing assemblies and mounted in thrust ball bearing with preload device for thrust bearings and radial thrust roller bearing, internal ring of which contacts spindle surface along cone surface and pressed by bush coaxial the spindle via nuts. Assembly is equipped by cover with labyrinth sealing located perpendicular spindle axis for pressing internal ring of radial thrust roller bearing and preload device located in spindle front support for compensation of its parts wear. In order to achieve the same technical result the other version of spindle assembly includes hollow spindle coaxially located inside bearing assemblies and mounted in thrust ball bearing with preload device for thrust bearings and radial thrust roller bearing performed in a form of hydrostatic support containing housing in a form of cylindrical bush embracing the spindle that has, at least, three hydraulic radially located elements, each of which consists of coaxially arranged inlet and pocket interacting with spindle via oil wedge, and between housing neck and spindle external surface there are radially arranged outlets made in housing in quantity equal to the quantity of hydraulic radially arranged elements. Pockets are made in a form of cavities, for example round or non-round holes that are connected through throttle and filter with supply main with pump located in oil bath.

Spindle assembly automatic balancer / 2467836
Proposed device comprises adjusting disc aligned with spindle and rigidly secured thereto and provided with unbalance means, cover and hydraulic system to feed liquid-phase medium to adjusting disc. Besides, it comprises special-design system to measure spindle deflection composed of proximity displacement transducer, amplifier, data processing and transfer means, and hydraulic oil feed pump. Note here that said transducer is arranged on spindle side surface while adjusting disc is furnished with disc-type unbalance slide valve. Note also that unbalance means are composed of, at least, four elastic vessels arranged regularly along the circle in annular groove made on adjusting disc side surface. Oil feed assembly may be composed of ring with groove on inner surface arranged to embrace spindle surface.

High-speed spindle / 2468895
Invention relates to machine building, particularly, to spindles of high-speed machine tools. Proposed spindle runs in magnetic bearings fitted on shaft and is composed of a unit made up of two passive magnetic bearings with inner and outer races shifted relative to each other, and hybrid magnetic thrust bearing consisting of tapered permanent magnet and electromagnet.
