    摘要: A cooling device for a rotating machine has a fan assembly coupled with a backing plate. A hub, on the backing plate, secures the cooling device with a shaft. The backing plate includes one or more vents to enable air to exit the cooling device. The fan includes an opening to enable air to enter the cooling device. A chamber is formed between the fan assembly and the backing plate. During rotation, air is drawn into the opening. The air is passed into the chamber and exits through the vents to cool a work surface or working pad attached to the backing plate.

    摘要: An arrangement for cooling a spindle bearing or bearings of an abrading apparatus with rotating abrading members is disclosed. This is premised on arranging in a housing of the abrading apparatus conduits which extend from a spindle bearing chamber wall of the housing to an inner suction chamber wall of the housing. Via such conduits, hot air may be expelled from a spindle bearing chamber of the housing as an overpressure in front of a protruding balancer element of a rotating shaft balancer is discharged from the spindle bearing chamber via a conduit into a suction chamber. Cool air may be conveyed from a suction chamber into the spindle bearing chamber as an underpressure behind the protruding balancer element draws in air from the suction chamber via the conduit to the spindle bearing chamber.

    摘要: A machine tool, in particular a hand-held machine tool, is disclosed. The machine tool includes at least one housing unit and at least one drive unit arranged within the housing unit. The machine tool further includes at least one separator unit which is provided to divide at least one fluid flow directed through the housing unit into at least two sub-flows, in particular according to a density of foreign bodies. One sub-flow of the sub-flows has a higher density of foreign bodies in comparison to another sub-flow of the sub-flows. The machine tool also includes at least one fluid cooling unit which is provided for cooling the drive unit by way of the at least two sub-flows.

    摘要: The present disclosure describes an apparatus for chemical-mechanical polishing of a semiconductor wafer. Some embodiments of the present disclosure include a pad, a slurry introduction mechanism, a wafer carrier (e.g., carrying a wafer being polished by the chemical-mechanical polishing system), a pad conditioner, and a pad cooling mechanism. The pad cooling mechanism of the present disclosure may apply a liquid or gas to the pad (e.g., to an upper surface of the pad) to control the temperature of the pad as the chemical-mechanical polishing process occurs. As a result, the temperature of the pad may be maintained at a safe and operable level for an extended period of time during chemical-mechanical polishing of a wafer.
