The invention discloses an electric spindle. The electric spindle comprises a spindle core, a motor rotor, a motor
stator, a cooling jacket and a shell which are coaxially arranged, the exterior of the spindle core is sleeved with the motor rotor, the exterior of the motor rotor is sleeved with the motor
stator, the motor rotor and the motor
stator are rotatably connected, the exterior of the motor stator is sleeved with the cooling jacket, the exterior of the cooling jacket is sleeved with the shell, a
cooling channel is arranged between the cooling jacket and the shell and communicates withexternal cooling liquid, and the shell is made of a carbon
fiber material. According to the electric spindle, the shell is made of the carbon
fiber material, a shell made of
metal in the prior art isreplaced,
carbon fibers have the good heat dissipation performance, the heat dissipation capability of the shell can be improved through the carbon
fiber material, and then the heat dissipation performance of the spindle core is improved; the
thermal deformation amount in the heating process is small, and the
machining precision of the electric spindle can be improved; and meanwhile, the
mass of the electric spindle can be decreased by adopting the shell made of the
carbon fibers, and then carrying, loading and unloading are convenient.
