Learn to understand common tapered-roller bearing configurations for spindles, and the guidelines for designing a high-speed machine tool spindle with precision-class TRBs. Timken roller bearings.

Not too long ago tooling options for Swiss-type turning centers were fairly limited. With so much to pack into a small space, there was little room for indexable tooling, and quick-change systems were ...

The challenge that machine tool builders face when designing spindles for milling machines and lathes is selecting bearings with the optimal balance of speed, load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and ...
