The present invention relates to a spindle unit (100) which is able to work both in a low speed powerful roughing regime and medium and high speed precision semi-finishing and finishing. The spindle unit (100) includes a body (1), a shaft (2) placed into the body (1), journal bearings (4,8) between the body (1) and the shaft (2), and at least one journal-thrust ball bearing assembly (19) placed between the body (1) and the shaft (2). A hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder is used to move the shaft (2) in an axial direction. The spindle unit further has a pad (26) placed on at least one side of the hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder. As a result of this construction, the spindle unit can work as a fully restricted spindle unit with and without additional ball bearing support. <IMAGE> |
