Abstract Supporting forces of magnetic bearings are lower than those of mechanical bearings. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a new three-axis active control magnetic bearing (3-axis AMB) with an asymmetric structure where its rotor is attracted only in one axial direction due to a negative pressure of fluid. Our proposed 3-axis AMB can generate a large suspension force in one axial direction due to the asymmetric structure. The performances of our proposed 3-axis AMB are computed through 3-D finite element analysis.

This paper presents a method to investigate the characteristics of hydrodynamic bearings of a HDD spindle motor considering the variation of the clearance as well as the lubricant viscosity due to elevated temperature. Iterative finite element analysis of heat conduction and thermal deformation is performed to determine the viscosity and clearance of hydrodynamic bearings at elevated temperature until the temperature in the bearing area converges. The proposed method is verified by comparing the calculated temperature with the measured one at elevated surrounding temperature as well as in room temperature. This research shows that elevated temperature changes the clearance as well as the lubricant viscosity of the hydrodynamic bearings of a HDD spindle motor. Once the viscosity and clearance of hydrodynamic bearings of a HDD spindle motor are determined, finite element analysis of the Reynolds equation is performed to investigate the static and dynamic characteristics of hydrodynamic bearings of a HDD spindle motor at elevated temperature. It also shows that the variation of clearance due to elevated temperature is another important design consideration which affects the static and dynamic characteristics of the hydrodynamic bearings of a HDD spindle motor.

Modal analysis is one way of studying the dynamic characteristics of the mechanical. In order to study the dynamic characteristics of machine tool,numerical machine model is set up with finite element analysis software,of which validity is verified by experimental modal analysis.The experimental test also provide the boundary conditions, so as to further structure modification and dynamic characteristic design
