Abstract
A rotatable spindle is carried in bearings located in one end of the bore in an adapter. The other end of the adapter is fixed in a machine base so as to cantilever the adapter. A damping chamber is formed along the adapter length between the machine base and the adapter, and a damping medium is provided in the damping chamber to control vibrations of the cantilever assembly. In one embodiment, a viscous damping medium is utilized to effectuate squeeze film damping. In an alternate embodiment, a visco-elastic damping medium is utilized in the damping chamber.
