More-powerful controllers and better software lead to broader applications for magnetic bearings. Magnetic-bearings, which support shafts with magnetic levitation rather than mechanical contact, have ...

Because shafts provide the inner raceways for all linear bearings, theirs is often lumped into bearing design as an afterthought. But bearing raceway sections on shafts are very critical because some ...

Learn to understand common tapered-roller bearing configurations for spindles, and the guidelines for designing a high-speed machine tool spindle with precision-class TRBs. Timken roller bearings.

The challenge that machine tool builders face when designing spindles for milling machines and lathes is selecting bearings with the optimal balance of speed, load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and ...
