About Machine Tool Spindles
Machine tool spindles are rotating components that are used to hold and drive cutting tools or workpieces on lathes, milling machines and other machine tools. They use belt, gear, motorized, hydraulic or pneumatic drives and are available in a variety of configurations. For example, cartridge assemblies are housed in a stationary enclosure while angled spindles are configured to allow right angle or adjustable tool rotation. Some machine tool spindles are housed in a solid block or box-like housing. Others are bolted down via flanges or feet at the bottom of the housing. Most machine tool spindles that fit the heads of cutting tools feature a Morse taper or other standardized machine tool taper. Multiple spindle heads are used to speed machining operations and in repetitive precision work such as close-tolerance center holes. A variety of bearing types are used with machine tool spindles. Examples include air, angular contact, ceramic hybrid, hydrostatic, magnetic, roller and tapered roller bearings.
