GLOBAL REACH - LOCAL SUPPORT

100,000 PCB SPINDLES

Westwind's worldwide service network ensures that any spindle repair

work or routine servicing is carried out promptly and efficiently.

Authorised Service Centres

Westwind Air Bearings has demanding standards for spindle repair
and maintenance. Spindle repair companies which meet these
standards are given Authorised Service Centre status. Their
engineers are Westwind trained and they use Westwind approved
test equipment and procedures. Every repaired spindle must pass a
10-point test (see box) to the same specification as at original
manufacture. Westwind carry out regular audits, to ensure that
standards are maintained, and of course only genuine Westwind
parts are used.

10 point test

 Air flow
 Water flow
 End float / lift off
 Axial load (inner)
 Axial load (outer)
 Collet torque
 Taper runout
 Dynamic runout
 Motor check
 Vibration

An up to date list of Authorised Service Centres is always available
at our website www.westwind-airbearings.com.

Genuine Parts

The performance of Westwind spindles
can only be maintained if genuine
Westwind parts are used during service
and repair. The use of non-Westwind
components results in unacceptable
performance, and likely premature failure
of the spindle.

Westwind authorised service centres use
only genuine Westwind parts.

Collet kits

Collet maintenance kits are available for the main collet types. These
consist of a collet locking tool, specially designed to enable the collet
to be set correctly, and a suitable lubricant. Torque test kits are also
available, which contain full equipment and instructions for checking
the torque of a collet.

Available literature

Collet maintenance instructions are available for both dead stop and
positive lock type collets. These can be downloaded from our website

www.westwind-airbearings.com. Different language versions are

being added as they become available.
