System rigidity in machine tool is extremely important because the magnitude of deflection under load determines machining accuracy. The bearing stiffness is main factor that influence system rigidity. Therefore, bearing preload is needed to enhance system rigidity and to increase running accuracy. Bearing preload can be regarded as negative internal clearance. A proper amount of negative bearing clearance is desirable in order to stiffen the support of the spindle. However, inappropriate negative bearing clearance can cause excessive rolling contact stresses and eventually lead to bearing seizure. Therefore, Proper internal clearance have to be selected in order to prevent bearing seizure and to improve bearing stiffness. The bearing clearance is influenced by tight fit and thermal expansion during operation. The designer must take into account the reduction of clearance after installation to the interference fits, and thermal expansion must be considered. The purpose of this study is to grasp the internal clearance variation and behavior of a bearing which is a deep connected with fatigue life of bearing and performance of spindle through FEM(Finite Element Method). Finite element analysis is performed by using commercial code ANSYS according to variation of thermal condition and rotational speeds. This paper presents correct negative internal clearance according to temperature during operation. Furthermore, interrelation between thermal expansion and contraction are presented to maintain adequate contact force in spindle system. The influence of the centrifugal force and Internal clearance variation of bearing is studied to operating rotational speed.
