This Disco NCPZ-010074-00 spindle came to us in seemingly good condition. It was clean, there were no coolant leaks and the motor passed scrutiny. The shaft even floated freely with air supplied. However, when just a couple pounds of force was applied to the shaft Radially, it locked up solid. Upon disassembly we found many of the air jets within the Radial bearing to be clogged with contamination. Because each air jet is so tiny, not much bigger than a human hair, it\u2019s very challenging to clear them properly. If the obstruction cannot be cleared, we will replace the clogged jet with a new one. This is a process in of itself. Throughout the spindle we observed an oily contaminant. Typically this points to a problem within the customers air supply to the spindle.<\/p>\n
