NSK to Showcase Machine Tool Solutions at AMB
NSK Europe, a global leader in motion control technologies, will shine a spotlight on our solutions for the machine tool industry at the upcoming AMB exhibition in Germany.
The International Exhibition for Metal Working will return to Messe Stuttgart from 15 – 19 September, with NSK showcasing how its innovative bearings, ball screws and linear guides can deliver significant gains for both machine users and builders.
Taking centre stage on our stand will be NSK’s ROBUSTDYNA range of angular contact ball bearing for machine tool spindles. These ultra-high speed, high-load capacity bearings facilitate highly versatile machining via their outstanding performance during both roughing and finishing operations.
The use of larger balls in ROBUSTDYNA bearings elevates their maximum load capacity by up to 15% compared with more conventional solutions, meaning users enjoy easier machining of challenging materials such as Inconel, titanium and composites. With up to three times more fatigue life (dynamic load rating), ROBUSTDYNA supports both heavy-duty and high-speed machining.
Also on stand will be NSK’s SURSAVE (TSR) bearing cage for angular contact ball bearings found on the main spindle of machine tools. The outer-ring-guided, PPS resin cage generates 20% less friction compared to more conventional alternatives. Machine shops are therefore able to tap into energy savings and greater precision due to reduced thermal expansion of the spindle, as well as making sure that cage noise becomes a thing of the past.
For visitors interested in ball-screws, NSK will display the most recent additions tour portfolio, including our next-generation offering for high-accuracy machine tools. Thanks to fewer motion errors and no ‘second glitch’ phenomenon, this ball screw boosts throughput by reducing or eradicating the requirement for secondary operations like polishing/burnishing in high-accuracy mould and die machining, for example. In addition, lower drive torque delivers savings in energy consumption.
Alongside will be our latest low-temperature ball screw. The friction loss/heat generation of this innovative product is 45% lower than standard ball screws at the same rigidity, helping users to maintain positional accuracy. Furthermore, it helps to reduce the energy consumption of machine tools by lowering or even eliminating cooling requirements.
Linear guides are another product central to the success of machine tools. On this front, the centrepiece of NSK’s portfolio at AMB will be the DH/DS long-life series. With its class-leading dynamic load rating, the DH/DS linear guide provides more than double the running distance of our NH/NS series, and also facilitates downsizing by allowing the use of smaller linear guides, reducing both machine weight and energy consumption.
Finally, we will also be bringing our RA series roller guide to Stuttgart. With its highly dust-resistant seals to prevent contaminants from entering via the underside of the slider, machine tools featuring RA series roller guides achieve high reliability in demanding operating environments.
A team of NSK experts will be present on our stand throughout the exhibition, ready and waiting to introduce visitors to the innovative nature and quality of our motion control solutions. We look forward to seeing you there!
