This is the third and final report in a series, Selecting, Configuring and Lubricating Tapered Roller Bearings for High-Speed Machine Tool Spindles. The first installment is Selecting Tapered Roller ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
