Patent attributes
The inventive working spindle comprises a spindle housing and a spindle shaft with axial positioning surface and axial contact surface by which the correct axial position of each fitting provided spindle shaft in the spindle housing is obtained. For torque-proof holding of the spindle shaft in the spindle housing, preferably with stationary motor, a braking unit is provided that comprises a radial outer part that is coupled with the spindle housing in a torque-proof manner and a radial inner part that is coupled with the spindle shaft in a torque-proof manner. The largest outer diameter of the peripheral surface of the inner part is smaller than the narrowest location of the through-opening of the spindle housing between the braking unit and the tool side end of the spindle housing. For this reason the spindle shaft can be readily removed from the spindle housing without disassembly measures of the braking unit, if required, and can be reinserted in reverse route. The inventive working spindle is simply constructed and can be versatilely used. Concurrently it is remarkably easy to maintain.
