There are many types of bearings, and there are countless bearings that can be used for machine tool spindles. However, for CNC machine tools, the selection of spindle bearings is not like that of ordinary machine tools. The various requirements are more stringent. Different CNC machine tool spindle bearing selections Different priorities that need to be considered when selecting CNC machine tool spindle bearings often lead to very different bearing types. The following spindle bearing manufacturers have compiled the CNC machine tool spindle bearing selection principles and guidelines for your reference.
CNC machine tool spindle bearing selection principles
The selection principle of CNC machine tool spindle bearings is to use different types of bearings according to the different requirements of the spindle assembly such as rotation speed, load-bearing capacity and rotation accuracy:
1. Generally, the spindle components of small and medium-sized CNC machine tools (lathes, milling machines, machining centers, grinders) mostly use rolling bearings;
2. Heavy-duty CNC machine tools use hydrostatic bearings;
3. High-precision CNC machine tools (such as coordinate grinders) use gas static pressure bearings;
4. The spindle with a speed of (2-10)x104r/min can use magnetic bearings or ceramic rolling bearings.
In actual use, reasonable selection should be made based on comprehensive consideration of the working performance requirements, manufacturing conditions and economic effects of the spindle assembly.
