A device for receiving and separating chips and coolant discharged from
machine tools having a filter drum that has an internal bearing ring on
each of its two ends, which each engage in an external bearing ring so
that they rotate together. Spring elements, which run parallel to the
axis of the filter drum, may be provided which are supported on one side
on the internal bearing ring and on the other side on the external
bearing ring. Sealing elements may be provided to prevent undesired flow
of unfiltered coolant.
