Machine tool spindles serve as the backbone to numerous manufacturing sectors, enabling creation of precision-engineered components with exceptional accuracy. However, there is a persistent problem at ...

Bearings define speed, load-carrying capacity, precision, and stiffness, and they contribute to the spindle operating temperature, vibration, and noise during operation. It wasn’t so long ago that a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
