  • Patent number: 11638977
    Abstract: An arrangement for cooling a spindle bearing or bearings of an abrading apparatus with rotating abrading members is disclosed. This is premised on arranging in a housing of the abrading apparatus conduits which extend from a spindle bearing chamber wall of the housing to an inner suction chamber wall of the housing. Via such conduits, hot air may be expelled from a spindle bearing chamber of the housing as an overpressure in front of a protruding balancer element of a rotating shaft balancer is discharged from the spindle bearing chamber via a conduit into a suction chamber. Cool air may be conveyed from a suction chamber into the spindle bearing chamber as an underpressure behind the protruding balancer element draws in air from the suction chamber via the conduit to the spindle bearing chamber.

  • Publication number: 20140151933
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an abrasive product and to a method of manufacturing same. Such an abrasive product comprises a structured abrasive coating provided on an upper side (6) comprised by the abrasive product. Herein, abrasive grains (8) and glue (7) are molded on a backing such that the upper side of the abrasive product is provided with a three-dimensional product-specific pattern. This pattern is created by said abrasive grains and glue, which constitute an individual composite grain (9). In generating the pattern, a special computer program is utilized in a computer program product for placing said composite grains randomly over the upper side of the abrasive product. The invention also relates to a casting mould with which the thus obtained pattern may be transferred onto the upper side of the abrasive product. The invention further comprises an arrangement for manufacturing said casting mould.
