Ultra Precision Spindles

  • Overview +


    Precitech air bearing spindles are completely manufactured in house.

    Spindle shafts are centerless ground on a high precision Studer CNC grinding machine allowing us to grind the OD of the shaft and faces of the thrust journal in one setup. This ensures squareness and parallelism virtually eliminating once per revolution errors.

    The spindles utilize a hardened 440 series stainless steel shaft and bronze journal. Dissimilar materials ensure no permanent damage to the spindle in the unlikely event of spindle rotation without air.

    The spindle housings incorporate provisions for liquid cooling.

    The Precitech spindles can operate at 85 PSI, eliminating the need for specialized air compressors.
