Spindle Services provides a comprehensive engineering and design service for machine designers
With over 50 years of experience and our vast engineering library we can ensure that by working with the customer, we find the best fit for the application.
Bearing Package
Selection of the bearing package is made using High Precision angular contact’s, double row cylindrical rollers, high contact angle thrust races, taper rollers or deep groove bearings – whichever is the correct choice to ensure the best bearing life. Working hand in hand with the bearing companies we can provide full verification of L10 bearing life calculations.
Lubrication
Lubrication is selected to suit the application using the latest in Synthetic high speed greases, oil/air for ultra high speed applications, recirculating oil for slower speed gearboxes, etc.
Where required, we can work within the confines of current application envelopes, taking the customer constraints and designing to suit.
Drawings
Drawings are now carried out in 3D using Solidworks software. Finite Element Analysis can be carried out where required. Engineering information is rapidly communicated via E-Mail.
Connections
Spindle Services can incorporate all major tooling connection systems and have a license to produce the Komet ABS system. We can design in any proprietary tool retention and release system or incorporate our own designs. Cormorant Capto, HSK tooling connections, ABS connections, ISO tapers, Morse Tapers, Jarno Tapers, etc.
Clamping
Most tool clamping systems incorporate a power drawbar system, sometimes proprietary (O.T.T, BERG, ORTLIEB, ROHM, etc.) but also to our own design. We have designed hundreds of these systems utilising disc spring clamping, coil spring clamping or hydraulic clamping. Release cylinders – either hydraulic or Pneumatic – can be designed and incorporated as required.
Lathe Spindles
We have a full range of Lathe spindle designs incorporating lots of different chucking options. Utilisation of Rotating hydraulic cylinders, drawbars, drawtubes, collet chucks, centre lathe chucks etc. is all covered within our library.
Spindle Services can solve your spindle problems and give you better machine uptime and reliability. Once design is completed we can then manufacture your spindle using Spindle Services extensive manufacturing capabilities at Spindle Services.
