5.3
Cooling
5.3.1
Liquid-cooled
Liquid cooling keeps the HF spindle at a constant temperature during opera-
tion.
Note: Extension of the service life through heat dissipation.
Heat is produced during operation of the HF spindle. The temperature of the
HF spindle should not 55° C as this shortens the service life of the
bearing.
u
Check the temperature of the HF spindle on the housing.
5.3.2
Compressed air cooled
If liquid cooling is not possible, the heat generated must be dissipated via the
housing.
This is the only way to maintain the performance of the HF spindle.
Note: Extension of the service life through heat dissipation.
Heat is produced during operation of the HF spindle. The temperature of the
HF spindle should not 55° C as this shortens the service life of the
bearing.
u
Check the temperature of the HF spindle on the housing.
u
Dissipate the heat using the sealing air.
To cool the HF spindle:
Ü
Connect the compressed air (sealing air) to one of the two cooling connec-
tions
(2)
.
Ä
The HF spindle is cooled by the compressed air flowing through.
Ü
Connect the second, free cooling connection
(2)
to the connection for the
sealing air
(3)
.
Ä
This guarantees the function of the sealing air.
5.4
Sealing air
For guidelines on air quality,
see "Air purity classes (ISO
8573-1)
" section.
The sealing air prevents foreign bodies such as chips and liquids (e.g. emul-
sions) from entering the HF spindle.
Ü
Check that air escapes at the front between the housing and the rotating
parts of the HF spindle.
