variable hydrostatic rail system for vertical lathes and vertical lathe

摘要

The invention relates to a variable hydrostatic track system for vertical lathes which comprises a plurality of sectors (4) arranged between the periphery (1 b) and the central opening (1 a) of an annular base (1), each sector (4) comprising an upper housing (4a) with a hydraulic fluid outlet (4b) such that, when the injected hydraulic fluid overflows from the housings (4a), it forms a film between the rotating chuck (3) and the sectors (4); a positioning mechanism comprising a plurality of hydraulic cylinders (5) fixed on the annular base (1) in a radial direction between the central opening (1 a) and the sectors (4), the rod of each hydraulic cylinder (5) being coupled to a piston (5j) and to one of the sectors (4); each sector (4) is guided in a radial guidance element (6) such that, due to the action of the hydraulic cylinder (5), the sector (4) is movable between an inner radial position and an outer radial position.
