What is BS 1089 – Spindle noses for grinding machines about?
BS 1089 specifies dimensions for spindle noses for grinding machines of cylindrical external, internal and universal types including plain grinding machines with live spindles.
Two types of spindle noses are specified. These are screwed spindle noses, and flanged spindle noses with parallel register diameters.
Who is BS 1089 – Spindle noses for grinding machines for?
BS 1089 on the specification for work-head spindle noses for grinding machines is useful for:
- Manufacturers of grinding machines
- Designers of grinding machines
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS 1089 – Spindle noses for grinding machines?
Spindle noses are the carrier for a variety of work-holding devices, fastened to them in several ways. Because these components act as links between the machine and the work-holding device they should be well designed as any defect or deformation in their dimensions can affect their fastening capabilities.
BS 1089 provides detailed dimension and tolerance specifications for screwed spindle noses and flanged spindle noses. BS 1089 also provides you with screw thread limits for the screwed spindle noses. These dimensions can help you in the production and design phases of the grinding machines. These dimensions can also be used for quality assurance to ensure that the spindle noses meet the necessary fastening requirements.
Overall, the guidelines of BS 1089 enable you to enhance the quality of your grinding machines by helping you improve the build quality of their spindle noses.
