What is the best manufacturing method for the spindle?
The spindle can be easily machined or forged, depending upon the material. Machining can be quickly performed with a three-axis NC lathe. Alternatively, machining the spindle in a mill is also possible, although care must be taken in fixturing to assure the correct alignment of the spline ends. Some spindle materials may be forged, although the process must usually be accomplished using multiple forging steps.
