An aerostatic mechanical dry gas seal is described in this paper. The seal has shallow depression grooves (compensators) on the back and annular grooves on one of the working faces. With the help of the back depression grooves, a hydrostatic pressure and thereby a separating force with satisfactory stiffness are produced within the sealing gap. A model which takes surface roughness into account was used to predict the performance of the seal. Relationships between the control parameters (the recess position, rG, the nominal film thickness, h0, the depth, hv, of depression grooves and the surface roughness parameter, a) are investigated against various pressure ratios, pe/ pi. The analysis provides a simple optimum design procedure. A finite element analysis was carried out to account for the effect of face deformation during operation of the seal. Experiments for various speeds, pressures and roughness parameters were carried out and the results from the experiments were used to validate the analysis performed. Analysis and experiment revealed the importance of the surface roughness and deformation of the faces for the creation and retention of the gap.

Machine tool operations and processing can cause temperature changes in various components because of internal and external thermal effects. Thermal deformations caused by thermal effect in machine tools can result in errors in processing size or shape and decrease processing precision. Thus, this paper focuses on the analysis of heating during machine tool spindle?s high speed operation, which is the heat source that causes component and structural deformation. In this paper, thermal monitoring was used to build a thermal error prediction model. Temperature change around the spindle was measured with a DS18B20, then multiple regression analysis was used to establish the relationship between thermal deformation quantity and temperature fields at specific points. Finally, finite element analysis was used to build the thermal error model. A solution for the correlation coefficient was obtained using the least squares method. The result of this study verified that finite element analysis can predict front bearing and rear bearing temperature rise, and is consistent with laboratory results. The error in thermal steady-state deformation prediction was less than 2 ?m. This information can be used by the controller to effectively compensate the processing and improve processing precision.
