How Does A CNC Spindle Work? Spindles in CNC Machine Tools are the main rotating elements of the machine and often have a shaft at the centre. It’s the Spindle that rotates and facilitates the action of the machine, be that milling, laser cutting, or in lathes for example. Just as Spindles are the most crucial part of CNC Machines, Bearings are an essential part of a Spindle, if not the most essential part. Bearings enhance and direct Spindle movement, and the use of high-quality Bea …

Did you know that there are currently over 2.7 million robotics working in industrial factories around the world? In 2020, the International Federation of Robotics reported a 12% increase in robots operating worldwide. Companies are trusting automotive ball bearings for improved efficiency. In this blog, we will investigate the vital role of robotics in the automotive industry and how they contribute to advancing automation and precision manufacturing processes. The Rise of Robot …

Downtime in manufacturing is extremely common and it is important businesses are prepared to reduce downtime by spotting problems early and reacting quickly. Machine downtime can cause huge loss of productivity and financial pressures for businesses and as the modern manufacturing industry heavily relies on automated production, the breakdown of these machines ultimately leads to not delivering on time. Of course, planned downtime such as routine maintenance is important, and this type of …

In applications that require high accuracy bearings to run at high speeds with high rigidity, you will often find a Precision Angular Contact Bearing. These bearings (sometimes known as Spindle Bearings) are some of the most highly engineered bearings on the market at the moment, and are designed specifically for higher speeds and loads, and reduced heat generation and noise. This makes them ideal for use in applications such as gearboxes, pumps, electric motors, and clutches.Industries th …
