Support for rotary material removing tools in grinding machines

摘要

The shaft of a dressing tool for grinding wheels is rotatable in two spaced-apart sets of roller bearings each of which is mounted in the radially extending leg of a discrete housing section. The two sections are connected to each other by two packages of leaf springs which extend radially of and are disposed at one side of the shaft and allow for uninterrupted thermally induced changes in the length of the shaft while preventing appreciable radial movements of the two sets of bearings relative to each other. One radially extending leg is integral with a third leg which is spaced apart from and is parallel to the shaft and is connected with the other radially extending leg by the two packages of leaf springs.
