A2003251 Ultra-High-Power Heavy-Duty Milling Spindle
HSK-A63 | 20 kW | 48 N·m | Center Through Coolant | Designed for Gantry & Large Machining Centers

The A2003251 is a top-tier, ultra-high-torque electric spindle engineered for the most demanding heavy-duty milling and engraving applications on large machining centers, gantry mills, and high-performance vertical mills. Delivering a massive 20 kW of power and up to 48 N·m of torque in Y-configuration, it is built to handle aggressive machining of steels, stainless steels, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys with exceptional rigidity, thermal stability, and reliability.
Technical Overview
Designed for high-productivity environments where material removal rate and process stability are critical, the A2003251 combines extreme power with precision engineering. Its HSK-A63 tool interface and enormous drawbar force (18,000 N) ensure secure tool clamping for heavy cutting, while the integrated center through coolant (up to 7 MPa) enables efficient deep-hole drilling and milling. Compatible with 380V single-winding drives such as Siemens and other major third-party systems, it offers flexibility for integration into a wide range of high-end machine tools.
Core Performance Advantages
- Extreme Power & Torque: With 20 kW continuous power and a groundbreaking 48 N·m torque (Y-connection), this spindle delivers relentless cutting force for heavy roughing, face milling, and deep slotting.
- Ultra-High Rigidity & Stability: Exceptional radial stiffness (750 N/µm) and axial stiffness (250 N/µm) provide an ultra-stable platform, minimizing vibration and deflection to maintain accuracy and surface finish under extreme loads.
- Advanced Thermal Management: A high-flow cooling system (>10 L/min) combined with center through coolant (7 MPa) effectively controls heat at both the spindle body and cutting zone, reducing thermal growth for consistent precision over long cycles.
- Heavy-Duty Tool Interface: Equipped with HSK-A63, a robust taper designed for high-power transmission and precise tool positioning in heavy machining.
- Superior Precision & Balance: A precision-ground taper (runout ≤2.0 µm), G0.4 dynamic balance grade, and low vibration (≤1.0 mm/s) ensure smooth, quiet operation essential for fine finishing and extended tool life.
- Flexible Drive Compatibility: 380V single-winding motor design allows integration with Siemens and other industry-standard third-party drives, offering broad system compatibility.
