Re: Re: spindle motors

Marcus,

Yes, I would be interested in more details? I'm guessing 3 bearings
and some precision spacers inside... But if not, thassokay!

Hi Guys:
My machine has a 10,000 rpm spindle.
It is dirt-simple: a couple of angular contact bearings, pressed into
an
aluminum housing.
There is probably a wave spring for preload. The bearings are sealed
and
run in grease (I think)
I can try to get the spec.
The key things are:
1) the spindle is short and light. (5" long and maybe 1.5" dia)
2) the spindle is balanced. <snip>
