GEAR HOUSING – SPINDLE SHAFT
Spindle shaft
The spindle shaft is powered by the intermediate shaft which in turn is powered
by the electric motor. The complete spindle shaft contains a number of moving
parts, including axially moving gear wheel for gear function.
The transmission in this machine is rarely the cause of any problems.
Incorrect handling of the machine could, however, cause the actual shaft to
bend, or damage the tool bracket. If this is the case, all the units on the spindle
shaft must be removed in order to replace the shaft itself.
Service work
