Design of the High-Speed-Spindle Motor

As explained in Sects. 1.2 and 1.3 of the thesis Introduction, the PhD project started within the Dutch Microfactory framework with the goal of development of a built-in electrical spindle drive which would facilitate high rotational speed of the spindle and accurate micro-milling. This chapter will present the design of the spindle motor, from a conceptual design to electromagnetic and structural optimization of the motor.
