FAQs: Spindles for Automation Applications

We provide comprehensive finishing solutions tailored to the needs of each precision bearing component. These include precision cylindrical grinding to attain surface finishes below 4 Ra microinches on raceways with stock removal for dimensional accuracy control, superfinishing with abrasive stones to below 2 Ra microinches to create ultra-smooth surfaces for lower friction and extended life, lapping for bearing faces to attain mirror finishes and flatness within 0.0001 inches, through-hardening heat treatment to attain 58 to 63 HRC hardness on 52100 steel with tempering for toughness, case hardening for selective hardening of raceway surfaces while leaving ductile cores, black oxide coating for light corrosion protection and break-in lubrication retention, phosphate coating for temporary corrosion protection during storage and shipping, passivation on stainless steel to remove free iron and to enhance corrosion resistance, and specialized coatings like titanium nitride (TiN) and diamond-like carbon (DLC) for extreme wear applications or dry running conditions where conventional lubrication is used.

Yes, Zintilon spindles and every other component they sell are certified to the relevant industry standards. All of them are produced under an ISO 9001 certified quality management system. Zintilon then certifies compliance with the relevant ANSI and DIN standards and additional certifications as required for all interfaces, tapers and other spindle components. Zintilon provides AGMA standard compliance for gear driven spindles and complete material traceability along with mill certs and heat treat reports. Zintilon certifies compliance with automation industry standards as well.

Yes, Zintilon provides versatile manufacturing options, which includes rapid prototyping for bearing designs and custom application testing with CNC turning and grinding, as well as low-volume production for specialized robotics where size and geometry are non-standard and custom, medium-volume production for research and limited production robots, high-volume production for standardized bearing components which are for robots equipped with sophisticated automation where thousands of races or housings are produced annually to precise tolerances, complete dimensional inspection and external and internal geometric consistency was ensured using bearing measuring machines, CNC measuring machines, and complete process documentation assessed and verified critical components for motion control bearings including dimensional and surface roughness, contours with profilometers, hardness for thermal treatment assessed and verified against control steps, ABEC or ISO tolerance classes were documented for critical motion control applications, and tolerances defined by the customer were verified for motion control application to bearing and housings.

For spindles, we are capable of attaining tolerances of bearing seat diameters of ±0.0003 inches. This is for optimum bearing seat fit and bearing preload. Concentricity of the journal surfaces of 0.0002 inches is achieved, which effectively minimizes runout. Surface finish on bearing contact areas is below 0.1 Ra microns, ensuring smooth rotation of the spindle. Thread tolerances of 6H/6g are achieved for the spindle, securing the tool on the spindle. Straightness of the spindle is controlled within 0.0005 inches per foot of length. Dynamic balance is accomplished to G2.5 grade which reduce vibration, and enhance the life of the bearing in high-speed automation applications.

Certain CNC processes are used for the manufacture for spindles. Computer numerically controlled precision turning performs the first stage of spindle processing, dimensioning the cylindrical spindle bodies, turning, and creating bearing seats. Tolerances of 0.0003 inches are controlled. Subsequent processing of spindles is performed in the cylindrical grinding with tolerances of 0.0002 inches in concentric grinding. Finish surface of the spindle is less than 0.1 Ra microns. Thread grinding is used for the precision grinding of threads for tool holding assembly and connection. Hard turning performs the machine spindle surface turning after heat treatment for hardening. Dynamic balancing is used for the spindle, for reducing the vibration, with balance grade of G2.5 or better. This is the optimum spindle balance. Honing is performed for the precision bearing bore and surface finish. This is needed for longer bearing life.

Spindles are shafts of automation machinery that are precision-engineered to rotate, transmit power, and facilitate controlled rotation in machinery. Spindle types include motor spindles, which are drive motors integrated for direct drive systems. Tool holder spindles accept end effectors and cutting tools. High-speed machining spindles operate within 10,000-60,000 RPM and belt-driven spindles transmit power. Electrospindles have built-in motors for compact designs, while grinding spindles are crafted for precision surface finishing. Modular spindle cartridges are designed for quick tooling changes in flexible automation systems.
