ABSTRACT:
A spindle liner and spindle liner assembly are for use in a lathe. A quick-change feature allows the spindle liner to be readily installed and readily replaced with a new spindle liner. The spindle liner has a tubular sleeve with a set of annular bearing rings and an annular mounting flange. An adapter specially configured for mounting on a particular lathe is designed for use with the spindle liner. The adapter has an annular body with a center hole to allow the tubular sleeve of the spindle liner to be slid through it. A recessed shoulder around the hole has a diameter to accommodate the annular mounting flange of the spindle liner. The adapter also has at least one and preferably opposed retainer lugs extending inwardly from a peripheral edge of the annular body and overlying the recessed shoulder. An equal number of notches in the mounting flange of the spindle liner are positioned to align with the retainer lugs when the spindle liner is positioned in the lathe. A partial rotation of the spindle liner allows its mounting flange to abut up against the recessed shoulder. A spring-loaded pin in a retainer lug of the adapter and a keeper hole in the mounting flange of the spindle liner become engaged and hold the spindle liner in place during use. A simple set of manipulations is all that is needed to remove the spindle liner in a very quick and efficient manner.
