Device for precision application of force to tools for polishing workpieces has first and second base plate movable relative to each other through known high precision guides and against force of compensating springs

摘要

The device has a first base plate (1) connected in force or keyed engagement with a spindle drive or similar and a second base plate (2) connected to the tool (5). The two plates can be moved relative to each other through at least a known high precision guide such as through several cylinder guides (3), and against the force of compensating springs (4). The springs are arranged in pairs to compensate radial, tangential and tilting forces. To prevent tilting moments during transfer of force the tool is housed in a domed bearing (7) of the second base plate.
