Milling spindle

spindle mounted on CNC machine

left side: the millig spindle based on an angele grinder from do-it-yourself shop.

Data:

• driving power around 750Watt

• power supply 240V~

• speed from 1000 to 12.000 U/min (limited by the used bearings)

• speed regulation by self made phase controller (PID-controlled)

• tool fixture by collet chucks type ER16

• dimensions l*w*h 300x100*90

Sensor outtput for speed measurement

Speed is measured by a hall sensor TLE4905L. Small SMC plug is used for easier spindle change. The spindle is equipped with four magnets for producing 4 impulses per rotation

Material: aluminium,. produced on a CNC milling machine

Mechanics of spindle (II)

The spindle is made of two aluminium parts. The spinle has bearings with D=35mm, d=17mm, W=10mm
