HQW Precision · Spindle bearings
The precision of the spindle is crucial for the performance of a machine tool. HQW Precision offers a range of high-accuracy precision bearings, specifically optimized to meet the requirements of today’s increasingly complex machine tools.

Spindle bearings from HQW Precision
HQW Precision spindle bearings are single-row angular contact ball bearings that accommodate axial loads in one direction and, at very high speeds, can simultaneously carry high radial forces. Spindle bearings always require at least one counter bearing to ensure preload, the absorption of axial forces in both directions and thus freedom from play of the entire system.
As a rule, spindle bearings have an open shoulder on the outer ring. This design allows for a higher number of balls and therefore a higher load capacity. A solid cage ensures a particularly high maximum speed. In terms of design, running accuracy and material, HQW spindle bearings offer the highest speeds and load ratings with minimal maintenance requirements — manufactured in accuracy classes P4, P4S and P2.
Bearing specifications
- Extensive range of high-performance lubricants for a wide range of applications
- Variants with ceramic balls (Si₃N₄) for low wear and high speeds
- Rings made of high-nitrogen steel (X30CrMoN15-1) — excellent corrosion resistance and significantly longer service life
- Multiple preload options (L, M, S)
- Optional non-contact FKM seals on both sides — low-friction, low-wear operation at high temperatures
- Reliable operation with optimized load capacity
