Abstract: The invention relates, on the one hand, to a machine element (6), for example a motor spindle or an electromechanical drive unit, with integrated, internal cooling system (8) and, on the other hand, to a closed cooling circuit (24) with corresponding machine element (6). According to the invention, the cooling takes place with a special coolant (4). The coolant (4) is a dispersion containing at least one Phase Change Material (PCM).

Abstract: A device and a method for preventing vibrations (19) in a rotating spindle (1) mounted in at least one front 8 and one rear bearing (9) in a machine tool, wherein the device comprises measuring units (2, 3, 4, 5) for detecting the vibrations (19) and correction device (6) for preventing the vibrations (19) disposed directly about the periphery (10, 11) of the spindle (1) in a contacting or non-contacting manner and that a control unit (7) for processing the measuring units (2, 3, 4, 5) and for calculating the correction values for the correction device (6) is assigned to this device.

Abstract: A shaft cooler (1) for a tool motor spindle (2), which has a rotating shaft (3), a static lance (4), and at least one coolant loop (7), which comprises a coolant inlet (5) and a coolant outlet (6), said shaft cooler being implemented such that the flow of the coolant from the static lance (4) into the rotating shaft (3) is performed via a flow path that includes radially-extending cooling holes (31) to cause the coolant to flow from a radially inside location to a radially outside location.

Abstract: A shaft cooler (1) for a tool motor spindle (1), which has a rotating shaft (3), a static lance (4), and at least one coolant loop (7), which comprises a coolant inlet (5) and a coolant outlet (6), said shaft cooler being implemented such that the introduction of the coolant into the static lance (4) is performed via cooling holes (8) from the inside to the outside in the rotating shaft (3).
