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 center section
  • 10 mm inner diameter
