Construction and attributes of hydrostatic center bearings
• Only one radial bearing • Moment and axial forces are carried by an axial bearing • Integrated clamping piston and rotating oil union for a hydraulic collet. The clamping piston is driven with hydrostatic oil and released with springs. • Extremely minimal friction (results in minimal warming during continuous operation, and more of the motor drive force applied to the workpiece). • Any minimal heat buildup is immediately carried out of the spindle via oil and is cooled at the hydraulic unit. • No vibration (as can result from balls in bearings) provides for extremely silent operation. • Excellent damping of oscillations created by machining operations, resulting in very good surface finish, improved cutter life (especially beneficial when turning hard materials). • Very high axial and radial stiffness (high dimensional accuracy when finishing; inaccuracies from pre-machining are quickly equalized; excellent roundness of finished diameters even with interrupted cuts). • RPM-independent stiffness and loadability (workpiece speeds of 0 to max. RPM are possible). • Wear-free because there is no contact between surfaces. • No loss of accuracy under maximum loads. • No sensitivity to dirt because the bearings are continuously cleaned. • Gap seals are backed up with purge air to protect the hydrostatic system from cutting fluids. • The spindle is supplied with a customized hydraulic power unit with oil cooling capability and integrated bearing protection in the event of power failure. • Can be driven by belt or gear drive. • Static and dynamic bearing forces from cutting or unbalance can be monitored by measuring pressure in the hydrostatic pockets.
