A complete systems approach to motorized spindles for milling, boring and grinding

• A drop-in unit that replaces other major brands with a more powerful, liquid cooled (TELC) motor. TENV is available.
• Embedded thermistor motor protection senses overheating conditions before serious damage occurs.
• System components; spindle, variable speed AC drive and spindle cooling chiller/circulator have been matched for optimal compatibility. The variable speed drive programming has been optimized for each motor size.
• MT spindles, like all R.T. Gilman spindles, achieve their accuracy through precise manufacturing of each component in the assembly, not by grinding the assembled spindle into spec.
• HP at Max RPM is S1-100% Duty Cycle Rating (24/7/365)

Synchronous motor spindles

Synchronous motor spindles are thermally stable and eliminate heat transmission, thermal expansion and vibration. They are inherently constant-speed motors and operate in absolute synchronism with line frequency. This type is often used where exact speed of the motor must be maintained. The speed of the spindle is determined by the number of pairs of poles and line frequency. Call R.T. Gilman for consultation on how synchronous motor spindles can benefit your business.
