Ultra-High Accuracy Hydrostatic Spindles

Product catalog summary
Overview: TDM SA, based in Switzerland, is a leader in ultra-high precision hydrostatic spindle technology. Their products are designed for applications requiring extreme precision and high-speed operations.
Product Specifications:
  • Ultra-High Precision Hydrostatic Spindles: These spindles offer a maximum speed of 6,000 rpm with a load capacity of over 0.5 tons in both radial and axial directions. They feature an optional coolant supply through the rotating shaft.
  • Ultra-High Speed Internal Grinding Hydrostatic Spindles: Available in speeds of 120,000 rpm, 140,000 rpm, and 250,000 rpm. Key parameters include:
    • Tool Interface: 7.5-M7x1 for 120k and 140k rpm, 5.5-M5x0.8 for 250k rpm.
    • Continuous Power: 6 kW for 120k rpm, 3.5 kW for 140k rpm, 1.2 kW for 250k rpm.
    • Radial and Axial Error Motion: Less than 0.08 µm for 120k and 140k rpm, less than 0.10 µm for 250k rpm.
    • Stiffness: Axial stiffness ranges from 12 to 25 N/µm, radial stiffness ranges from 4.5 to 22 N/µm.
Hydrostatic Bearing Technology: Hydrostatic bearings are contactless, using a thin oil layer to separate the rotating shaft from the non-rotating housing. This design ensures high rotational accuracy, stiffness, load capacity, and resistance to vibration, while being virtually free of wear.
Applications: TDM's spindles are ideal for manufacturing small components requiring extreme precision, such as fuel injectors, small bearing rings, hard disk drives, and fiber-optic connectors.
Performance Benefits: The combination of high-speed work head and grinding spindles enhances grinding performance, offering improved precision, faster production processes, and longer spindle life.

Ultra-High Accuracy Hydrostatic Spindles-2

ELKA technology motor spindle technology A world leader in ultra-high precision hydrostatic spindles Hydrostatic bearing spindles Hydrostatic bearings are contactless bearings with rotating shaft and non-rotating housing separated by a thin layer of oil. Rotating shaft is surrounded by a number of recesses uniformly distributed in circumferential direction over internal surface of the spindle housing. High pressure oil is directed from external power supply unit through the inlet restrictors to the recesses. From bearing recesses, the oil leaves to chambers directly connected to the hydraulic...
