A fan motor is provided that includes an inner housing having an inner space formed therein; a rotational shaft assembly supported in the inner housing and having a rotor and a bearing mounted on a rotational shaft thereof; a stator disposed to surround the rotor in the inner housing; an impeller connected to the rotational shaft; and an outer housing that surrounds an outer periphery of the inner housing and having an inlet body that guides air to the impeller. At least one heat dissipation vane is provided on an outer peripheral surface of the inner housing to guide air which passes between the inner housing and the outer housing after being suctioned into the inlet body, and thus, when being guided by the at least one heat dissipation vane, the air having been moved by the impeller may efficiently absorb heat transferred from the stator to the at least one heat dissipation vane and more stably flow than when colliding against the stator and the rotor, and thus, may be quickly discharged.

A spindle device includes a spindle shaft, a spindle housing, and a chuck portion as a rotating member. The chuck portion has, formed therein, a suctioning passage through which air suctioned from the outside flows. The spindle shaft has a first guide passage which guides air flowing through the suctioning passage to a clearance between the inner wall of the spindle housing defining a through hole in which the spindle shaft is inserted and the outer wall of the spindle shaft facing the inner wall, by way of the interior of the spindle shaft. The spindle housing has, formed therein, a second guide passage configured to guide the air guided to the clearance, to the outside.

A rotary tool for machining workpieces, said tool comprising a base body having a clamping section and a tool head comprising a cutting region having at least one cutting edge. The tool head comprises at least one coolant channel for supplying a cooling and/or lubricating fluid into the cutting region. At least some sections of the coolant channel have a cross-section that tapers in the direction of the tool head. In this region, at least two coolant outlet lines branch off from contact points of the coolant channel in the direction of the tool head upper surface, and are offset in the axial longitudinal direction of the coolant channel. Also, a production method for a rotary tool, in which the blank of the tool is produced by a sintering method in which the coolant channel of the tool is formed integrally in the sintering method at the same time.

A liquid temperature adjustment apparatus 1 includes: a refrigeration device 10 which includes a refrigeration circuit 16 in which a compressor 11, a condenser 12, a first expansion valve 13, and a first evaporator 14 are connected in this order by a pipe to circulate a heat medium and an injection circuit 17 which branches from a portion downstream of the compressor 11 and upstream of the condenser 12 in the refrigeration circuit 16 and is connected to a portion downstream of the first expansion valve 13 and upstream of the first evaporator 14; and a first liquid supply device 100 which circulates a first liquid. The injection circuit 17 includes a flowrate adjustment valve 17A which adjusts a flowrate of the circulated heat medium. Further, the first liquid circulated by the first liquid supply device 100 is cooled by the first evaporator 14.

A main spindle device for a machine tool has a hollow main spindle, which is supported by a housing such that the hollow main spindle can rotate. The main spindle device is provided with: an annular cylinder, which is fixed to the housing, and is formed extending into the main spindle, said annular cylinder having an opening formed in the axis line direction of the main spindle; and a cooling path formed on the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder to face the inner circumferential surface of the main spindle.

A processing apparatus includes a processing unit, a control unit, and a temperature detecting unit. The processing unit includes a cutting blade and a spindle assembly, the spindle assembly including a spindle having the cutting blade mounted on a distal end of the spindle and a spindle housing through which the spindle is inserted. A cooling fluid passage is formed in the spindle housing, the cooling fluid passage cooling the spindle assembly, and having one end connected to a cooling fluid supply source and having another end communicating with a cooling fluid outlet of the spindle housing. The temperature detecting unit detects the temperature of the spindle housing. The control unit determines whether a state of cooling of the spindle assembly is normal or abnormal on the basis of the temperature detected by the temperature detecting unit.

The invention relates to: sensor modules for e.g. a tool holder, wherein the sensor unit is integrated as a structural entity; tool or machine elements designed with such sensor modules: and a machining/machine tool comprising such a sensor module. The sensor modules have a sensor system for detecting system states or operating states which occur during the machining of a workpiece.

An operation panel for a machine tool includes: a blower device that includes a plurality of blade sections and a center axis section, the plurality of blade sections rotating around a center axis, the center axis section having a circular columnar shape around the center axis and being disposed on a radial-directional inside about the center axis relative to the plurality of blade sections the blower device sucking air in an axial direction about the center axis and blowing out the air in the axial direction about the center axis an opposed wall that is disposed on an air suction side of the blower device and that is disposed so as to face the blower device in the axial direction about the center axis; and an intermediate member that is provided between the opposed wall and the center axis section in the axial direction about the center axis.

A machine tool (1) includes a spindle (32) supported on a support surface (37a) of a support body (37) with such an orientation that the longitudinal axis of the spindle extends along the support surface (37a). The spindle (32) is movable in a vertical direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the spindle (32). The support body (37) is provided with a ventilation hole (80) extending through the support body (37) between the support surface (37a) and a surface (37b) facing in the direction opposite to the support surface (37a), to open toward the spindle (32).
