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 ...

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 ...

HYPROSTATIK SCHÖNFELD spindle bearings help grinding machine operators achieve ultra-precise finishes: When grinding, the best surface finishes are achieved if the tips of the abrasive particles ...

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 ...

Vacrodur is an innovative rolling bearing material developed by Schaeffler that allows machine tool manufacturers to significantly increase the load carrying capacity of spindles and greatly extend ...

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 ...

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 ...

I have a 1975 Ford F-150 4x4 that I am working on restoring and modifying. I am currently going through the Dana 44 front axle, and I was curious how you can tell if a wheel bearing is spinning on the ...
