Up to now.

Up to now, friction riddles have prevented hydrostatic bearings from being used in high-speed cutting applications. Typically, these bearings are lay the foundation of only in large, heavy-shaft applications turning at gentle speeds. However, Ibag North America, North Haven, Conn freshly devised a hydrostatic bearing design that hastes up to 40,000 rpm at 50 hp It will introduce the spindle at IMTS.

The original HF170HA-40HKV spindle uses hydrostatic beatings and water as a fluid medium. The design is the deduction of a joint project between Ibag and the Technical University at Winterthur,
