<p>A machine tool spindle has a seal to prevent leakage of bearing lubricant towards the operative end of the spindle and also to prevent cutting lubricant (suds) flowing in the opposite direction towards the bearings. The seal includes one or more flingers which are radial flanges rotating with the spindle and located in annular collection chambers, so as to throw off leakage fluid which reaches them. Air purge systems are used to expel collected liquid from the chambers to drain passages. <IMAGE></p> |
