A2005121 High-Torque Machining Spindle
125mm Flange, 12.5 N·m Powerhouse for Heavy-Duty Cutting with BT30 Tool System

The A2005121 is a robust and rigid electric spindle engineered for heavy-duty milling operations requiring substantial cutting force and exceptional stability. Featuring a 125mm flange diameter, a high-torque motor delivering 12.5 N·m, and a standard BT30 tool holder with a drive key, it is built to excel in demanding machining applications on steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. Its versatile design supports multiple feedback options to seamlessly integrate into a wide range of CNC control systems.
Product Overview
Designed for vertical installation in machining centers, the A2005121 prioritizes power transmission and structural integrity. The high radial stiffness (300 N/µm) and substantial drawbar force (2500-3000 N) ensure minimal deflection and secure tool clamping during aggressive cuts. This spindle is the ideal solution for manufacturers who need reliable, high-torque performance for roughing and semi-finishing operations.
Core Features & Advantages
- High Torque for Heavy Cuts: A powerful 7.5 kW motor generates 12.5 N·m of continuous torque, enabling efficient material removal with larger tools and deeper cuts.
- Exceptional Rigidity & Stability: Outstanding radial stiffness (300 N/µm) and axial stiffness (100 N/µm) provide a solid foundation for accurate and vibration-free machining, even under significant load.
- Versatile Feedback Options (Configurable): Can be supplied with your choice of encoder to match your CNC system:
- Square Wave Encoder (1024-line): Standard, reliable feedback for most CNC applications.
- Sine Wave Encoder: For systems requiring high-resolution feedback for ultra-smooth motion.
- No Encoder: For use with sensorless vector control variable-frequency drives (VFDs).
- Robust Mechanical Design: Features a BT30 tool holder with a drive key for positive torque transmission, a heavy-duty bearing system (7008×2 / 71910×3), and a 125mm flange for secure mounting.
- Effective Thermal Management: Requires an external oil or water cooling system (>6 L/min, >1 kW chiller) to maintain consistent performance and precision during prolonged operation.
