Drilling Spindle (High Speed)
The seal areas of the spindle shown on the photograph have been sprayed with Chrome Oxide to a thickness of 625 microns (0.025”) during manufacture. Before the final application of Chrome Oxide the components were undercut by 500 microns (0.020”) and an initial bond coating of Molybdenum applied to 125 microns (0.005”) thick to a freshly ground surface. Due to the very high speed involved the seals were having a very short life. The Chrome Oxide surface offers a much harder wearing surface thus prolonging the life of the components.
