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.

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.
