Machine tool spindles serve as the backbone to numerous manufacturing sectors, enabling creation of precision-engineered components with exceptional accuracy. However, there is a persistent problem at ...

Linear-motion bearings deal with the problem of providing low-friction translational (rather than rotational) motion. Sliding-surface bearings are stiffer and deflect less under load than ...

The amount of preload applied can be used to adjust the stiffness (and friction) of the bearing by changing the ball size to as small as 1 µm. Each application is a little bit different. For every ...
