Industrial spindles are offered in several configurations and with pulleys for "V" belt or timing belt drive. They can be ordered with #1 Morse internal tapers or ready to accept an ER-16 collet. Some headstocks are available complete with DC motor and electronic speed control. These can be run on any current worldwide from 110VAC to 240VAC, 50 or 60 Hz.

Flat bottomed and round cartridge spindles are available with a choice of pulley and spindle nose tapers and threads (Click on image for a larger view).

Features

All Sherline Industrial spindles feature Class 5, lifetime-lubricated bearings with adjustable preload. The headstocks are made from extruded 6061-T6 aluminum and have a black anodized finish. Cartridge spindle bodies are turned from bar stock steel and have a black oxide finish. The steel spindle shaft has a .405" (10mm) hole through the center. The spindle nose has a 3/4-16 external thread and a #1 Morse internal taper. All spindles can also be ordered threaded to accept an ER-16 collet. All headstocks and spindles can be ordered with either a cogged timing belt pulley or a 2-step "V" belt pulley. Pulleys are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum. The timing belt pulley is a 1/5" pitch, 30-tooth, unflanged pulley designed to be used with XL-series rubber timing belts. (The drive pulley used with it should be flanged.) Headstock bearings are rated for a continuous speed up to approximately 3000 RPM with factory preload adjustment of .0002". Operating speeds up to 10,000 RPM are possible with a slightly looser preload setting of .0003".

Specifications

Runout at spindle nose: 0.001" (Most are within .0005")
End play at factory preload setting: .0002" (preload is adjustable)

About the Sherline Stepper Motor Mounting Kit

Certain jobs require the headstock to be rotated at a fixed and accurately controlled slow speed. Driving the spindle with a computer-controlled stepper motor is an excellent way to accomplish this.

The stepper motor mounting kit includes the items you need to mount a stepper motor to drive any Sherline standard or industrial headstock spindle that accepts a motor mounting bracket.

  • Price: $162.90
  • P/N 6500
  • Motor Bracket
  • DC Motor Stand Off Assembly
  • Timing belt
  • 15-tooth motor pulley
  • Industrial 30-tooth spindle cog pulley
  • Stepper spindle motor mount
  • Mounting hardware
  • (A 10-tooth drive pulley is also available for special order for a slower 3:1 drive ratio instead of the standard 2:1 ratio. See P/N 65003.)

Click the MORE INFO button for details on using a stepper motor to drive the headstock.


The 3D ZIP file includes three IGES files: one with a standard headstock setup and two with 3C collet headstock setups. Extract the .zip file to the drive location of your choice.
