[0002] The bearing housing of a CNC machine tool is a mechanical part used to support and fix the bearing, and plays a vital role in the machine tool.
[0003] Traditional CNC machine tool bearing housings are mostly fixed structures, and their position cannot be adjusted after installation. If the bearing position shifts due to machining errors or long-term wear, the entire bearing needs to be disassembled and repositioned, which is time-consuming and affects machining efficiency.
[0004] This device achieves stepless precision adjustment of the bearing seat through a track-sub-plate linkage mechanism, combined with bolt drive and guide groove limiting, while taking into account both structural rigidity and ease of operation. Utility Model Content
