Spindle Shaft Design, 7th April

  • Developed a model to predict the peak cutting force and shaft torque
  • Wrote a matlab tool (edited version 12th April below) to determine peak forces and bending moments in spindle shaft and bearings
  • Wrote a matlab tool to specify bearing from cutting force, torque, and desired life and reliability (via the Weibull Equation)
  • Specified a collet from sheets provided in lab
  • Used results from above tools and supplied lathe solid model to specify shaft dimensions:
    • 30 mm shaft outer diameter, 50mm diameter for center section
    • 10 mm inner diameter

Spindle Shaft Design, 12th April

  • Altered matlab tool to take into account fatigue at bearing A.
  • For a steel shaft, we have a slope factor of safety of 9, a stress factor of safety of 15. The stresses are an order of magnitude below the endurance limit, so fatigue should not occur anywhere in this shaft. (or, a lifetime of 10^10 minutes - about right according to Chris).
  • Assumptions - w_shaft = 570rpm, axial force = 100N, radial force = 240N, stress concentration at fillet = 2.5, assume 1020 steel which is pretty weak.
  • Endurance limit of 1020 steel = 210MPa, k_overall=0.75, Von Mises stress at Bearing A = 21.6MPa, and smaller at nut by rough calculation.

Bearing Selection

For spindle shaft bearings, we selected tapered roller bearings - see Bearing Selection for more details.
