Spindle Bearing Systems

Since 2011, the Spindle Bearing Systems Working Group has been the direct successor to the project "Development of High-Speed Rolling Bearing Main Spindles for Machine Tools", which was supported by AiF, FWF and VDW for many years until 2009. Together with 15 companies that cover the entire supply chain of machine tools, from rolling bearings and lubricants to main spindles and complete machines, pre-competitive, practice-relevant issues concerning the reliability and performance enhancement of machine tool main spindles will be addressed. These include, for example, the development and testing of new and alternative bearing geometries or the investigation of vibration phenomena on the entire motor spindle system.
