SPS Spindle Parts & Service recently completed the largest spindle that we have ever manufactured and assembled. The spindle is a very large work head that goes on an OD/ID grinding machine. It includes a quad set of 7048 bearings which will provide the capacity to hold a very large fixture and the parts that the customer is grinding.
SPS will manufacture and assemble the shaft, cast housing, spaces and all the other components, which when completed will weigh more than 2,500 pounds. After assembly, SPS will test run the assembly, do a vibration analysis and deliver it to the customer.
