Precision spindles
Support architecture, spindle configuration and rotor response for high-accuracy rotating systems.
Open path →Engineering solutions
Choose the route by the machine decision—not by a software module.
Each solution starts from a real engineering question and defines the smallest chain of synthesis, system screening and verification needed to answer it.
Engineering solution routes
01
Aerostatic bearing design
Calculate a defined journal, thrust or conical support—or synthesise a candidate from required load, stiffness, flow and envelope.
Open →02
Conical air-bearing design
Resolve coupled radial and axial support in one conical architecture, including adjustable-clearance concepts.
Open →03
Bearing–shaft spindle design
Co-synthesise support architecture, shaft geometry, span, drive and tool interfaces from the process envelope.
Open →04
Gas-bearing rotor dynamics
Carry the defined support state into mode-family, Campbell, unbalance-response and stability screening.
Open →05
Feasibility before high-fidelity CAE
Reject weak bearing–shaft states and define what CFD, structural FE or testing must prove next.
Open →Adjustable spindle concept
One architecture. Multiple controlled duty points.
AURA tests whether controlled support changes can move stiffness, capacity and rotor behaviour enough to cover several operating zones without losing machine-level margin.
- Clearance and supply-state adjustment
- Radial and axial performance targets
- State-dependent rotor consequence
- Decision on fixed variants versus one controlled architecture
Application paths
Move from the technical solution to the machine context.
Different machines change the operating state, acceptance criteria and verification path—even when the underlying bearing physics is related.
Inspection and positioning
Support state, accuracy requirement and subsystem integration for precision motion.
Open path →Turboexpanders and compressors
Thermal/gas state, bearing performance and high-speed rotor consequences.
