Making its trade fair debut is the Ultra-High-Speed Spindle HPD 80-300000/1.1 from GMN, with a speed of 300,000 revolutions per minute, designed for test applications and test benches. Also on display will be the new HCS 120-45000/10, which is particularly appealing to users in medical technology, the watch industry, and micro-mold making. The spindle, with a diameter of just 120 millimeters, delivers 45,000 revolutions per minute and 10 kilowatts of continuous power. It is specially designed for delicate tools and the finest machining steps. Sophisticated bearing technology is intended to ensure minimal vibrations and the highest concentric precision.
The company also announces a non-exclusive technological partnership in digital technology with Weiss Spindeltechnologie (a business unit of Innomotics GmbH). This is in response to the growing demand for high-quality and efficient digitalization solutions that cater to the entire range of spindle technology applications. By combining their strengths, both companies offer customers greater flexibility. For example, spindle solutions from Weiss Spindeltechnologie can be combined with GMN's sensor systems in a coordinated package. This approach is particularly advantageous for customers requiring customized sensor solutions as part of a project.
For powered rotary tables, and especially those not used for simultaneous machining, there is a noticeable trend toward gear motors. To reduce the significant design effort of rotary axes with gears, as well as the installation space, complexity, and assembly time, Schaeffler developers have created a solution: the rotary axis bearings YRTC and YRTA can be ordered with a face gearing on the outer diameter (YRTCG, YRTAG).
A gearing integrated into the round axis bearing replaces the entire spur gear of the gearbox for driving the round axis.

The gearing thus replaces the customer-side gear spur wheel. Depending on the required torque, the inner ring is designed in the appropriate width and with straight or helical gearing. This solution is suitable for driving milling tables and swivel axes of milling bridges and milling heads or automation axes. The integration of the Amosin angle measuring system into the bearing is not affected, and the angle measuring system continues to be offered for these bearings.
With the acquisition of Ewellix and the harmonization of the product lineup, additional sizes of precision-rolled roller screw drives (RGT) have been added to the Schaeffler Linear Motion portfolio. Customers now have access to sizes ranging from 8 to 240 mm in a load capacity range of up to 4,000 kN.
In the machine tool industry, these roller screw drives are used, for example, in feed axes of thread rolling machines, in drill-mill heads, and as drives for broaching machines—essentially wherever high forces, precise positioning, and monitoring of the force-stroke progression are required.
