HSD Spindle Motor
The HSD spindle is made in Italy and plays the leading role in terms of quality. These motors are among the oldest electric motors and are still very popular. The HSD spindle is available in two types, manual and tool change. The rotation rate of this motor is (RPM) 18000-24000 and the voltage is 220V / 380V. The diameter of the HSD spindle is 150 mm and its length is 325 mm. This engine has a high price and is used for heavy machinery.
Hertz spindle Motor
Hertz motor, made in Turkey, is one of the top spindles in the world, which has been produced in three different series, including HMA series, HMB series and HM90 series. The engine emits a lot of noise at high revs. The rotation of this engine is 3,000 x 24,000 and it is very suitable for cutting objects such as wood, aluminum, stone, and iron. The Hertz and HSD motor spindles are both in the AC family of high-speed motors.
HQD Spindle Motor
The HQD spindle is made in China with two air-cooled and water-cooled cooling systems. This is a Chinese spindle in 5 series, including:
- GDZ suitable for wood CNC machine
- GDF suitable for wood CNC machine but low noise
- GDK suitable for heavy machinery such as milling
- GDL is suitable for cutting edge wood products such as MDF
- GDC suitable for lowering the level of machining resistance
The most commonly used engines in the global market are GDZ series, HQD engines with 10,000 to 120,000 rpm. High precision and strength, high efficiency, and minimal noise emission are the features of HQD spindles. All of these spindle motors are used to make CNC machines and heavy industrial machines, machines for machining wood, stone, plastic and soft metals.
CW Spindle Motor
The CW spindle is made in China but has the lower price compared to the HQD spindle. The spin speed of the CW engine with a power of 3.5 kW is more than 8000 rpm. This motor is very suitable for cutting and engraving operations by CNC machine.
Arel spindle Motor
Arel spindle motor is one of the best spindles available in the market, which is produced in different types. This engine is similar to the Hertz engine made in Turkey, which is used for various machining. Arel electric motors with a power of 180 watts up to 12.5 kW, with a period of 1500 RPM to 24000 RPM are produced in two types: tool changer model and colt model. This motor is used for engraving and cutting on wood, aluminum, copper, etc.
HQM Spindle Motor
HQM spindle is one of the best motors which China has made in different types of time, power and cooling system. This motor is used for engraving and cutting on wood, aluminum, copper, etc.
FORZA spindle Motor
FORZA motors in different powers are used for cutting machines, gluing machines and CNC machines for wood, metals, PVC, etc. FORZA spindles available in the market are produced in the power of 1 kW, 2.5 kW, 3 kW, 4.5 kW, 4.5 kW, 6.5 kW and 7.5 kW.
FIMEC spindle Motor
Fimec spindle motors are designed to produce high torque and high speeds (from 6000 to 24000 rpm) in compact dimensions. This makes the motor ideal for machining wood, plastics, aluminum, marble and glass for use in jobs ranging from routing, drilling and sawing to cutting, boring and grinding.
FANUC spindle Motor
FANUC spindle motors provide the ultimate in performance, reliability and efficiency - FANUC spindle motors are whisper-quiet, practically vibration-free and have a track record of running for decades without failure.
ELTE spindle Motor
One of the main peculiarities of this company is projecting customized spindles based on production flexibility which allows the working of different lot sizes. Customer care comes first, through a fast and attentive repair service organization. They can offer skilled and qualified technicians to help customers to design and personalize their machine tool for special applications. This company’s standard and special products range is wide.
Dynomax spindle Motor
With an extensive engineering background, Dynomax is more than just a spindle supplier. In-depth technical knowledge of the complete spindle assembly allows to provide the customers with spindles that perfectly match their unique applications and on-site engineering staff are always available to help and answer any technical questions.
Mitsubishi spindle motor
Mitsubishi declares the next-generation spindle motors, equipped with high speed and high efficiency.
- High-performance Spindle Motor : SJ-D Series
- High-output, High-torque Spindle Motor : SJ-DG Series
- Low-inertia, High-speed Spindle Motor : SJ-DL Series
