Air bearing benefits - lack of maintenance
Only the very minimum of maintenance is required. A regular check of air supply and coolant systems is all that is necessary to ensure complete reliability. Normally only a regular check of the air supply is necessary to ensure complete bearing reliability. Providing that the spindle is operating within the design specification limits, the spindle should have a long working life. Normal maintenance usually consists of ensuring that air and water supplies are kept clean and to the correct specifications. Where a collet or other holding device is fitted to the spindle, specific maintenance regimes must be adhered to.Typical air filtration requirement: 0.1 micron.
