The difference between air-cooled spindle and water-cooled spindle

Generally speaking, there are basically two cooling methods for the spindle, namely air-cooled spindle and water-cooled spindle. The principle of the air-cooled spindle is to use a fan to dissipate heat from the spindle, while the water-cooled spindle cools down the spindle by circulating cooling water. The main difference between them is the cooling method and whether the temperature of the spindle can be controlled. The air-cooled spindle does not need an external water pump, which is more convenient to use. The heat of the spindle is taken away by the fan, and the spindle cannot be dissipated. The water-cooled spindle uses components such as compressors, condensers, and evaporators to dissipate heat from the spindle, which can keep the temperature of the spindle at suitable temperature.

The difference between water-cooled spindle and air-cooled spindle:

01 Applicable conditions

Water cooling is the use of water loops to cool the heat generated by the high-speed rotation of the spindle. The cooling effect is good, because the temperature of the water after circulation will not exceed 40 degrees. However, in summer scale is prone to block the water pipes, requiring staff to frequently change the water and Clean up, and the cold water in winter freezes the water pipes, which will affect the cooling effect of the spindle. The air-cooled spindle uses a fan to dissipate heat, which is more suitable for areas where the temperature is not too hot or easy to freeze;

02 Noise problem

The water-cooled spindle basically has no noise, and the air-cooled spindle has a little more noise than water-cooled, but the heat dissipation effect of air-cooled is worse than that of water-cooled, you can choose according to the actual situation;

03 Service life

The water-cooled spindle should pay attention to maintenance, change the water frequently or use an industrial water cooler, such a spindle will have a longer life, and the air-cooled spindle bearings will have a longer service life if they pay attention to maintenance!
