ELECTRIC SPINDLE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC H02K7/14 F16C32/06 H02K1/06 H02K5/16 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: electric spindle comprises a body, in the cavity of which there is a laminated stator core, equipped with semi-closed slots, in which there are winding coils placed, besides, in the cylindrical cavity of the stator there is a rotor installed as capable of rotation, and its bearing unit is arranged as capable of gas-dynamic support, at the same time the electric spindle is equipped with a clamp for fixation of a working tool. At the same time, according to this invention, conductors of the winding of each stator slot are fixed with a wedge and a key insert contacting with it from insulating material, the cross section of which is made as capable of fixation of the key insert back under the slot wedge, and the ledge section complies with the slot splint section, besides, the profile of the key insert ledge surface corresponds to the surface of the cylindrical cavity of the stator core, the surface of the key insert back along its entire length is equipped with a longitudinal chute, which is open into an inner cavity of the spindle body arranged as capable of supplying air into it, in the cavity of the electric spindle body there are cylindrical bushings placed, the diameter of the cavity of which is equal to the diameter of the cylindrical cavity of the stator core, and between the ends of the stator core and the ends of cylindrical bushings facing them there are support rings installed, the cavity of which exceeds the diameter of the cylindrical cavity of the stator core, equipped with a collar that covers a part of the outer surface of bushings, the specified thrust rings are made of non-magnet material and are fixed with the stator core, and the cylindrical bushings are installed as capable of radial displacement relative to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical cavity of the stator core, for this purpose contacts of bushings with the body, the end shield and collars of thrust rings are equipped with sealing rings arranged as capable of elastic deformation radially and along the longitudinal axis of the stator core. The rotor is made with inner cavities, for this purpose it comprises coaxial hollow shaft and shell, which are rigidly connected to each other, at least by three links equidistant from each other and made in the form of plates of identical thickness, being aligned radially to the longitudinal axis of the rotor, the ends of the rotor are rigidly fixed to the end covers, for instance, by vacuum-diffusion welding, besides, one of end covers of the rotor is arranged as thickened and is equipped with a clamp for fixation of a working tool.

EFFECT: increased life of electric spindles, including those operating under higher and high frequencies of rotation, with simultaneous provision of minimum rotor sagging and improved cooling of both a rotor and a winding of an electric spindle stator.
