Importance of Fluid/water Bearings in High Speed Milling Spindles

Bearings used in spindles have undergone various incremental improvements. The hybrid ball bearings using ceramic balls are very popular compared to the steel bearings. But nowadays, manufacturers are opting for other options in high speed milling spindles, besides the traditional bearings. Manufacturers are opting for fundamental change in pindle bearings used in milling. One such option is to replace mechanical ball bearings with hydrostatic bearings or fluid bearings, the bearings that are free of contact between moving surfaces. The fluid used in these bearings is water.

What is fuid bearing?
This is however not a new concept. A fluid bearing or the idea of using water as the bearing medium is not new. What is new, is a heightened demand to apply this technology in milling spindles. A fluid bearing is a type of non-contact bearing where there is no mechanical contact between moving surfaces. Spindle motors are now available to deliver more power, and cutting tools available today can put the increased power to use. The constraint here is the bearing. Hybrid ball bearings used in the milling spindles appear to represent the practical limit of how much power and speed a mechanical bearing can put to use and still maintain a long service life. But using fluid bearings having higher load capacity can overcome this performance limit.

This type of bearing is very suitable to high speed and high power machining. The fluid helps in delivering smooth motion, ensures low runout and damps vibration. Such type of bearings are used in the aerospace industry, in hard steel mold and die milling.

Advantages
In a fluid bearing, there is a complete isolation of the spinning component from the stationary one by the fluid. Even air can create an effective non contact bearing. But there are certain drawbacks. While a magnetic bearing requires an expensive spindle design, an air bearing lacks stiffness. Using a fluid as the bearing medium produces a spindle that can be both cost-effective and effecient for heavy cutting. Moreover, fluid bearing can bear a heavier load. Spindle's low runout is also because of the lack of contact. Fluid bearing doesnot require much maintenance since with no mechanical contact to wear out moving parts, the bearing stands to deliver considerably longer life.

Drawbacks
A drawback to using a fluid as the bearing medium is the inefficiency related to liquid's viscosity and this is liquid friction. The spindle motor has to work harder to overcome this resistance in the bearing. Minimizing the losses of viscosity accounts for why water is used. Though hydrostatic bearings running at low speeds can use a viscous liquid like oil, higher rpm requires an easier-flowing liquid. However, using water is not a simple substitution. Oil is a good option because it is essentially non-reactive and non-conductive but water is not. To use water as the bearing medium, the spindle maker must take into consideration various additional steps during manufacturing like coating internal components, sealing the motor and using deionized water.

Anyone got a good recipe for a Thanksgiving Ham?

I'm British but would like to make a US style baked ham for a thanksgiving themed meal. I'd like ideas for accompaniments, a starter and a dessert ( though I'm probably going to do pumpkin pie ) too, something really traditional.

this is how i make my ham... put the ham in a foil pouch or baking bag put pinapple rings and merricno cherrys on the top (u may need to use toothpicks to secure in place) save the pineapple juice... put brown suger on top of pineapples and cherrys... pour pineapple juice from rings on top .. bake in oven @350 degrees at 20min per pounds....this is great for bone in or boneless hams...then i would make some candied yams, and or mac and cheese, green beans or nice green salad, and get a good store bought pecan pie(like mrs smith) but dont let your guest know u cheated....

happy cooking
