[0011] like Figure 1 As shown, a high-precision miniature vertical lathe spindle structure includes a double-row short cylindrical roller bearing 1, a high-precision angular contact thrust ball bearing 2, a magnetic encoder 3, a shaft core 4, a main spindle 5, and a cable 6. The number of double-row short cylindrical roller bearings 1 is two, and the number of high-precision angular contact thrust ball bearings 2 is one. The main spindle 5 is disposed outside the shaft core 4. A double-row short cylindrical roller bearing 1 and a high-precision angular contact thrust ball bearing 2 are installed between the shaft core 4 and the front end of the main spindle 5. The double-row short cylindrical roller bearing 1 and the high-precision angular contact thrust ball bearing 2 are arranged adjacent to each other. Two bearings constitute the front bearing assembly; a double-row short cylindrical roller bearing 1 is installed between the shaft core 4 and the rear end of the main shaft 5, which constitutes the rear bearing assembly. The double-row short cylindrical roller bearing 1 and the high-precision angular contact thrust ball bearing 2 are arranged alternately with a bearing clearance reserved; an end cover is installed at the rear end of the main shaft 5, and a magnetic encoder 3 is installed between the end cover and the shaft core 4. The magnetic encoder 3 is connected to the cable 6, which is connected to the control system; the main shaft structure of this high-precision small vertical lathe is lubricated with imported grease, and the bearing cavity of the main shaft is filled with imported grease.
[0012] During bearing installation, the high-precision double-row short cylindrical roller bearing 1 and the high-precision angular contact thrust ball bearing 2 of the front bearing assembly are precisely assembled and installed between the front end of the main shaft 5 and the shaft core 4. The high-precision double-row short cylindrical roller bearing 1 of the rear bearing assembly is precisely assembled and installed between the rear end of the main shaft 5 and the shaft core 4. The use of high-precision double-row short cylindrical roller bearing 1 enables radial support, ensuring high rigidity and high precision of the main shaft 5 in the radial direction. The high-precision angular contact thrust ball bearing 2 is used as a rolling guide in the axial direction to provide axial support and bear axial loads. Axial preload is applied to eliminate bearing clearance and improve the rigidity and rotational accuracy of the main shaft 5. The high-precision double-row short cylindrical roller bearing 1 at the rear end provides radial support, which, together with the front bearing assembly, ensures high stability of the main shaft 5 in both the radial and axial directions.
[0013] The spindle bearing cavity is filled with imported grease. Imported grease is used to ensure that the bearing is fully lubricated when rotating at high speed. Imported grease has good anti-wear properties and high temperature stability, which can effectively reduce friction and temperature rise and extend bearing life.
[0014] The detection device installation involves mounting the magnetic encoder 3 on the non-drive end of the spindle 5 and connecting it to the control system via cable 6. The magnetic encoder 3 is used to monitor the speed and position of the spindle 5 in real time to ensure machining accuracy. The configured cable 6 is used to transmit encoder signals, facilitating integration with the control system. Preload adjustment ensures high rigidity and high precision of the spindle 5 in both the axial and radial directions by adjusting the preload of the front bearing assembly.
