Brushless DC motors are common place in RC Vehicles. They are small, light, fast and can be inexpensive. [Raynerd] wanted a new spindle for his CNC machine and thought that a brushless DC motor would ...
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 ...
With CNC machines, getting the best results depends on knowing how fast your tool is moving relative to the workpiece. But entry-level CNC routers don’t often include a spindle tachometer, forcing the ...
A four year, $7.5-million spindle-development project headed by The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS), Ann Arbor, Mich., has ended with the development of three new spindle designs for ...
Levicron specializes in the production of high-speed ultra-precision motor spindle solutions for CNC machining. Where its main focus has been on the manufacturing of optical and precision components, ...
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 ...
Modern machine tools continue to make technical advances, thanks in large part to ongoing improvements and fine-tuning in computer numerical control (CNC) machining. Over the past 60 years or so, CNC ...
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 ...
