Better materials and sealing technologies meet the challenges of modern machine tools and coolants. Bigger, faster machine tools obviously put greater demands on spindle bearings. Most spindles use a ...

Modern CNC machine tools work under increasingly diverse cutting conditions. They must handle workpieces of various sizes and materials, and produce good surface finishes while operating at ever ...

At EMO 2017, Schaeffler presented an entire range of new, high-speed spindle bearings in premium X-life quality. These FAG spindle bearings allow machine tool manufacturers to further increase the ...

The challenge that machine tool builders face when designing spindles for milling machines and lathes is selecting bearings with the optimal balance of speed, load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and ...

Bearinx-online is a detailed spindle design calculation tool from Schaeffler that helps optimise bearings for main spindles early in the design process. This provides design engineers with a virtual ...

Even if a CNC machining center is equipped with spindle bearings that are optimized for a duty cycle at the time of purchase, there is no guarantee the bearings will be optimized for future duty ...

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 ...

Transferring hydrostatic bearing technology used in the printing industry, Ibag North America has introduced the Model HF170HA-40HKV high-speed milling spindle. Developed in cooperation with the ...
