Ceramic Motorized Spindle

The goal of this book is to improve the performance of ceramic motorized spindle and apply it in NC machine tool. We systematically analyzed and studied the key technical problems in the design and manufacture of ceramic motorized spindle units. This book summarizes part of the research results of related projects led by the author. These projects were supported by The National Natural Science Foundation of China, National Science and Technology Department, Science and Technology Department of Liaoning Province, etc. These projects provide important theoretical basis and technical support for the design and development of ceramic motorized spindle for NC machine tool. In addition, original results are obtained regarding the basic theories and key technologies of motorized spindle, such as the structural design and optimization of ceramic motorized spindle, the design and machining of ceramic parts, the design of spindle motor and drive control. These achievements promote the development and application of ceramic motorized spindle units in NC machine tool.

More than ten researchers participated in the above research projects, and they are from Shenyang Jianzhu University (China), Shanhai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (China), Shanghai Research Institute of Materials (China), Northeastern University (China), Dalian University of Technology (China), Shenyang Machine Tool Group (China), Luoyang Bearing Science & Technology Co., Ltd (China), University of Michigan (USA), etc. During the progression of the projects, the author of this book, as senior visiting scholar, conducted collaborative research with researchers in Japan and USA. They include Prof. Katsuo Shoji from Tohoku University (Japan), Prof. S. Malkin and Dr. Changsheng Guo from University of Massachusetts (USA), and Prof. S. Jack Hu from University of Michigan (USA). Herein, the author thanks a lot for the support from these researchers.
