Re: BT30 Spindle
The drawbar rod. Used 1.2080 (I guess) steel. Hardened, tempered and grounded.

Re: BT30 Spindle
Here are some details.
- Lower bearings will be 2x 7009 (A or C) angular contact ball bearing. It is 45x75x16mm
- On the upper side I'll use one (or 2) 6008 deep groove ball bearing
- The belleville washers are D2010211. I'm using parallel groups of 3, 24 in total.
- Gripping force is 3kN and opening force is 5kN (more or less).
- Needed stroke is 4.2mm but I'll have about 6mm in total.
- Petals are C45 steel.

Re: BT30 Spindle
50x250mm 2080 steel for the main shaft.

Re: BT30 Spindle
If I'm not mistaken there are 3 type AC bearings with different contact angles. C (15°), A (25°) and B (40°). People ruse A or C bearings but I've never seen anybody used B. Which one would you recommend? I guess B is best if I want minimum play but since the B has a wide contact surface it is also the worst because it'll produce more heat.

Re: BT30 Spindle
50mm seems a bit small for the spindle nose. Have you thought about your dog configuration? I'm attempting to replace an r8 spindle shaft with a bt30 one and had a similar problem. Here's the spec I referenced:

Re: BT30 Spindle
Do you really need 4 bearings on front end? What stiffness are you planning?

Re: BT30 Spindle
The 2 in the middle are just sleeve. Others are bearings. Its hard to tell from the pic tho. Should have colored them.

Re: BT30 Spindle
Here are some pictures of the BT30 spindle I bought from Aliexpress for reference. Hopefully they will be helpful.

The two bearings on the left are pressed up against a shoulder and then a inner race from a bearing is used as a spacer. Then comes the timing belt pulley and nut that holds the pulley on. The two left bearings are sealed. The angular contact bearings on the right are not sealed. They are configured like yours but only one spacer. Further to the right is the labyrinth seal and the nose piece that clamps the outer race of the angular contact bearings against the housing.

Here is the nose of the spindle shaft. The first picture shows the grooves that make up the most outside part of the labyrinth seal. Then the lighter colored aluminum ring is part of the labyrinth, it has a standing ring (going up in this picture) into an undercut in the steel of the spindle shaft above it. The second picture shows the nose ring, this is what clamps the outside race of the AC bearings. This is where some crummy work was done on my spindle, the aluminum tape you see was used to make up for parts being machined wrong. Where that aluminum tape is the aluminum ring from the previous picture is to be a press fit into. Someone machined the bore of the nose ring too big so they added a couple pieces of aluminum foil tape to bring it back to a press fit. The brown in the bottom of the nose ring bore is coolant and grease that has dried inside.

Re: BT30 Spindle
Nice work Suat. How are you doing the labryth seals on your design?
