Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A spindle unit includes: a main spindle that holds a rotary tool, and that is rotated; bearings by which the main spindle is rotatably supported; and a damper bearing by which the main spindle is rotatably supported, and that has a damping coefficient larger than damping coefficients of the bearings. The damping coefficient of the damper bearing is set to a value within a range from 10,000 to 1,000,000 N·s/m.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A spindle unit, comprising: a main spindle that holds a rotary tool, and that is rotated; a first bearing by which the main spindle is rotatably supported; and a damper bearing by which the main spindle is rotatably supported, and that has a damping coefficient larger than a damping coefficient of the first bearing; wherein the damping coefficient of the damper bearing is set to a value within a range from 10,000 to 1,000,000 N·s/m.…
