Displacement Analysis of a Hydrostatic Spindle: An Experimental Investigation
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation of the displacement characteristics of a hydrostatic spindle used in a medium-sized circular grinding machine. The study focuses on the influence of lubricant pressure and oil viscosity on spindle displacement under varying load conditions. Experiments were conducted using a specially designed testing bench, which allowed precise control of pump pressure and oil viscosity. The results demonstrate a significant impact of both parameters on spindle displacement. An increase in oil viscosity leads to a decrease in displacement, with the optimal viscosity identified as 2 mPa.s. Similarly, higher pump pressure results in reduced displacement, with 5 MPa being the optimal pressure for the system studied. These findings highlight the importance of carefully selecting lubricant properties and operating conditions to achieve optimal machining accuracy and stability. This research provides valuable insights into the understanding and optimization of hydrostatic bearing systems in precision machining applications.
