Mechatronic Motorized Spindle with Hydrostatic Bearings and a Piezohydraulic Generator of Resonant Axial Microoscillations

Resumo

A mechatronic motorized spindle with hydrostatic bearings and a contact-free piezohydraulic generator of resonant axial spindle microoscillations is proposed. The boundary problem is solved for a nonsteady Reynolds equation in laminar motion, with no cavitation of the working fluid. On that basis, analytical formulas are derived for the dynamic-pressure distribution of the working fluid and the dynamic axial force created in the gap of the piezohydraulic generator.
