A processing apparatus includes: an apparatus main body including a base portion that is movable and a liquid supply unit that supplies a liquid to the base portion; a chuck portion connected to the base portion and including an attachment hole that is open outward; and a processing tool detachably mounted on the chuck portion. The processing tool includes a cylinder fitted into and held by the attachment hole, a drive unit disposed inside the cylinder and including a rotating body to be rotated around a central axis by the liquid introduced from the liquid supply unit via the base portion, a rotary shaft protruding outward from an inside of the cylinder along the central axis to rotate integrally with the rotating body, and a tool portion connected to a tip of the rotary shaft.

The present disclosure provides a spindle structure including a base, a spindle, a sliding member, a restoring mechanism, and a restriction member. The spindle is rotatably received in the base and forms a receiving room. An end of the receiving room is a blind end communicating exterior via a gas channel. The sliding member is slidably received in the receiving room, and two ends thereof are a piston and a driving portion respectively. A gas cavity is defined between the piston and the blind end. The sliding member tends to move toward the blind end due to the restoring mechanism. The restriction member is connected to the driving portion and radially deforms when the sliding member slides so as to fix or to release the tool-holder. The sliding member slides outward when the gas cavity is injected with gas via the gas channel.

The bearing seat device includes a bearing seat, a bearing set, a driven module, and an adjusting member. The bearing seat has a mounting hole, an adjusting slot, and an inserting hole. The adjusting slot divides a section of the bearing seat that is adjacent to the inserting hole and the mounting hole into a first side compartment and a second side compartment. The inserting hole extends from the first side compartment to the second side compartment. The bearing set is mounted in the mounting hole. The driven module extends into the mounting hole, is supported by the bearing set, and is rotatable relative to the bearing seat. The adjusting member engages the mounting hole and is operable to adjust a width of the adjusting slot between the first and the second side compartments and a diameter of the mounting hole.

In an improved air inlet valve assembly, a flow of air along a first or second flow path may be controlled by a position of air inlet guide surfaces of a rotatable valve relative to air inlet guide slots of a fixed valve sleeve. Air flowing along the first flow path may rotate a motor in a first direction to operate the tool in a forward mode. Air flowing along the second flow path may rotate the motor in the second direction to operate the tool in a reverse mode. In the forward mode, as air flows along the first flow path, air may be discharged along a primary discharge path, with a portion of the second flow path providing a secondary discharge path. In the reverse mode, as air flows along the second flow path, air may be discharged along the primary discharge path, with a portion of the first flow path providing the secondary discharge path.

A novel mounting assembly used with an air spindle is described. The mounting assembly includes an insertable top portion for inserting into a mounting collar and to be rotatable therein, the insertable top portion formed with an upper disk shape with a first diameter and a lower disk shape with a second diameter and adjacent to the upper disk shape, an outer circumference of the upper disk shape having a groove formed therein, and the upper disk shape and the lower disk shape having a passage axially formed therethrough perpendicular to the groove. The mounting assembly further includes a sleeve disposed below the insertable top portion, the sleeve defining an opening with a sidewall which is perpendicular to the insertable top portion, the opening sized to hold a spindle, a port inside a wall of the sleeve defining the opening providing fluid communications with the passage of the insertable top portion.
