Vibration damping device for machine tool spindle and machine tool comprising same

Abstract

A vibration damping device for a machine tool spindle is provided. An annular support plate is mounted at a lower portion of a distal end of the spindle, a plurality of support bars is fixed to the support plate in a vertical direction and installed in a longitudinal direction of the spindle adjacent to an outer periphery of the spindle, a pair of weight disks stacked by a plurality of arc-shaped disks made of a tuned mass member is fixed to be in close contact with the outer periphery of the spindle, facing each other, and a damping sheet made of an elastic member is inserted between the outer periphery of the spindle and the weight disks. The vibration damping device of the present invention may maximize a vibration damping effect by installing the vibration damping device at a position closest to the spindle where a vibration occurs. Furthermore, the vibration damping device of the present invention may effectively attenuate a variety of vibration phenomena having various resonant frequencies of a machine tool spindle by constituting the vibration damping device in a plurality of modular types which have different resonant frequency bands, respectively.
