Spindle Upgrade

In today's machining world, as always, all production aspects are pushed constantly to new limits. It is called progress. Better suited materials are developed, new tooling is researched and smarter and agile motion systems are emerging and replacing the old ones at an ever increasing pace.

Precision spindles remain the hart of the machine tool, but nevertheless do not remain unchanged. Breakthroughs in high-precision bearings using new materials such as ceramic rolling elements and special steel alloys for raceways are allowing spindle manufacturers to design and produce spindles that are faster, and more reliable then ever. New lubricants and lubrication systems help this bearing revolution while also being environmentally friendly. Today's seals are sophisticated, but compact. Spindle designers have a multitude of solutions to choose from and they do so integrating the right seal into the spindle design.
