Precision spindles are integral to a wide range of industrial machinery, including CNC machines, turbines, robots and medical devices. These high-performance components can rotate at extremely high ...

For the benefit of our readers, what is the principle of Aerostatic bearings, and how do they compare to roller-element or oil hydrostatic bearings? There are two types of aerostatic bearings, inlet ...

This is the second of two reports. See Push/Pull Method for Preloading 2-TS Spindles: Why Preload? Preload force is very sensitive to the preload dimensional setting. The setting tolerance for a 2-TS ...

Spindles are machinery subsystems that integrate shafts, bearings, and power-transmission components such as belts and ballscrews, motors, and in some cases, drives and controls to output axial ...

At EMO 2017, Schaeffler presented a revolutionary system for maximising the OEE (overall equipment efficiency) of machine tools – a newly developed range of sensors for main spindle monitoring that ...
