Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Air spindles

if you ment an air driven spindle
there are some cross sections thru the air motors at
http://www.nsk-nakanishi.co.jp/english/english/industrial/machine/frame_astseri.html
I've had one of these apart on the bench and there isnt much
else to them ,just the motor ,spindle shaft and a few bearings
you could try to get the catalog from a distributor for some better
cutaway views but you might end up ordering from it ;-)
the prices are fair for what they make
