Hello dear colleagues!
I had a problem with disassembling the spindle on the Mazak FF-660 machine. The goal is to disassemble the spindle a little, look at the bearing markings, assemble the spindle, order bearings. During disassembly, decide whether I can change the bearings myself or whether I need to turn to professionals. Then I'll wait 2-3 months for the bearings and change them myself, or have a pro do it. Ok, let's get down to business. Spindle SK-40 15k, oil mist.
The cooling oil circuit is visible on the left. Right side of flange to bed. Behind the large flange on the right is the rotor, followed by the "gear" of the magnetic encoder. The front cover has already been removed, here it is from the inside:
And the view of the assembled spindle from the front:
I thought that the spindle has something like this:
I thought I'd take the front cover off and just slide the body to the right until it hits the rotor. And I hoped that this would be enough for me to see the bearing markings. But it didn't work, the hull didn't move. Maybe someone has dealt with something like this? I just don't have any ideas. The rotating shaft consists of 3 parts: the main part with bearings, the middle part with the rotor and the outer part with the "gear" for the encoder. The parts of the shaft are separated, I am almost sure, by the supply of pressurized oil. I don't see the point in taking it apart, because I don't see how it will help move the case. I've identified every hole in the case: oil mist, coolant, cooling - nothing that looks like a pressurized oil port.
Judging by what I was taught at the university, and by videos about the repair of "cool" spindles, landing bearings in the housing either with a small gap (a few microns) or with a minimum interference. I applied a force of about 200 kg, more is already scary.
