I found this in an HSD manual:
"The pneumatic circuit for internal pressurization prevents dirt from entering the electro-spindle.
This system is fed at 4 bar (58 PSI). Waste air is exhausted through the forward facing labyrinth
ports in the spindle nose.
Compressed air at 4 bar (58 PSI) must always be delivered to the electrospindle
even when it is not operating."
So constant air flow is supplied and flows out through the spindle to keep dust/etc. out of it. Is 2 CFM expected and does it need air 24/7 or just for a little while after the spindle cools down when done for the day?
