You can look this up on the Professional
Instruments web site, it is the
4R spindle. See http://www.airbearings.com/4r
for more info. But, the unit I have has quite a
bit more stuff on it, with drive
motor, resolver, brake and shaft encoder. All
these things look like they's
be easy to take off to fit your application. The
business end has a ring
of bolt holes to attach whatever you want on it.
You ought to know this thing
likely cost $30,000 new in the form I have it in.
