Re: [Emc-users] Water or Air cooled spindles

In our spindles on our Horizontal etc they use Oil as the cooling , with a chiller that chills it right now to aset point to keep it at a constant temp. , this is put through the motor and the spindle to stop any thermal grouth transmitted and also cool motor instead of forced air. i think

Re: [Emc-users] Water or Air cooled spindles

Great idea... in fact I think I will use that idea to cool my TIG welding torch!  :-)    A radiator from a compact car should be cheap at the junk yard. It might even come with an electric fan if I ask for it! Dave On 5/24/2018 8:28 AM, Kenneth Lerman wrote: It sounds to me like a car

It sounds to me like a car radiator from a junked car would make a perfect cooling tank and heat radiator. Ken On Wed, May 23, 2018 at 8:01 AM, Dave Cole wrote: > RV antifreeze works well for things like this. I have been using it for > years in my bandsaw coolant

Re: [Emc-users] Water or Air cooled spindles

RV antifreeze works well for things like this.  I have been using it for years in my bandsaw coolant tank.  It doesn't seem to go bad even after years and it doesn't evaporate much. For cooling, You might want to consider making a flat tank.  Two sheets of steel or alum spaced apart an inch

Re: [Emc-users] Water or Air cooled spindles

I've had two of the Chinese 2.2 KW water cooled spindles for the last few years and have had no trouble with them.  I consider them to be a good value.  Well worth the plumbing hassle, in my opinion. Be sure to use good quality very flexible tubing of the correct size.  I think I got 8mm

Re: [Emc-users] Water or Air cooled spindles

There is a huge diffence in heat capacity between air and water. Water make me think about rust. On Tue, 22 May 2018 21:18:34 +0200 Roland Jollivet wrote: > I'm looking at getting one of those 2.2kW air or water cooled spindles + > VFD kits out there for a router. >

[Emc-users] Water or Air cooled spindles

I'm looking at getting one of those 2.2kW air or water cooled spindles + VFD kits out there for a router. I'm not worried about the noise difference between the two types. Has anyone taken apart a water cooled spindle? How are they doing the cooling? Is it a water jacket or just some copper
