The spindle bearing at times may seem an insignificant part of the larger machine, but when specified improperly, it can become a huge problem. ASKUBAL is a 70-year veteran of the ball bearing business and understands the importance of properly specifying the correct spindle bearing for each and every application. Spindle bearing is actually more of a general term for what most consider the common ball bearing where a shaft is support and allowed to turn smoothly virtually frictionless. Types of bearings in this category have many differences the make them more appropriate for certain applications. For example, a bearing with cylinder rollers as opposed to standard bearing balls can handle more radial load and depending on the size of the cylinders and the accuracy of grinduing, finishing and assembling , the accuracy or smoothness of rotation can be controlled.
Other limitations of an application such as space constraints can force the selection down to lower profile spindle bearings, while high rotation speeds require specially coated parts to reduce friction.
To fully grasp the possible and best solutions to one’s bearing needs it is extremely beneficial to consult an expert such as ASKUBAL ( ASK ) or one of their worldwide distributors. Because of ASKUBAL focus on spindle bearing products and the experience with customers from industrial and grinding machinery in addition to tool manufacturing machines, the depth and breadth of knowledge that can be provided is unequaled.
