Advantages
Due to the large center clearance of the Franke bearing assemblies, the complete drive system can be moved inwards. A labyrinth seal and a lip seal protect the raceways from chips and coolant. The tool holders are mounted directly on the outer ring. The selected preload ensures high accuracy and a uniform rotational resistance for smooth running and precision.
