Z-Spindles pneumatic taper changes are high-frequency machine spindles for high-speed milling, grinding, drilling and engraving. The tool used in each case is changed automatically by a built-in pneumatic cylinder into the Z-Spindle.  Tools are clamped through the use of WK-tapers, WK-shrinking tapers or HSK-tapers.

Jäger High Performance Spindles utilize hybrid ceramic ball bearings. These bearings have standard steel bearing races and are matched with silicon nitride balls. Advantages of
hybrid bearings compared with normal spindle bearings are improvement of:

• Longer service life
• Reduced wear
• Low abrasive wear out
• Low friction coefficient
• Higher speeds
• Low heat conductivity
• Corrosion resistant
• Non-magnetic
• Electrically isolating
• Improved machining accuracy
• Higher rigidity of bearing arrangement
• Small thermal expansion
• Low vibration impulse by ceramic balls
