Spindle Shaft
From Teamnumber1
Spindle Shaft Design, 7th April
- Developed a model to predict the peak cutting force and shaft torque
- Wrote a matlab tool 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 centre section
- 10 mm inner diameter
