Do not allow set screws to come directly in contact with the Spindle body as shown in Fig. 10, as this 
will result in damage to the Spindle housing and internal components. 
When installing, never clamp directly over the bearings, as this will result in bearing damage 
(Refer to Fig. 11).

How to fabricate the Split Type Holder
(1) Rough bore the inside diameter of the Split Type Holder.
(2) Cut a slit (Ex. Slit 2mm) wide.
(3) Tighten the Screw for Removal and Force Open the Slit Area.
(4) Insert a spacer (Ex. thickness = 2mm) into the Slit Area.
(5) Loosen the Screw for Removal, and tighten the fastening bolt with its speci

¿

ed torque. 

(6) Finish the Split Type Holder so that the inside diameter of the Split Type Holder is 

ȭ

26.8 with its 

tolerance range from - 0.01mm to - 0.015mm, and its roundness and cylindricity of less than 5

ȝ

m.

(7) When inserting the Spindle loosen the Fastening Bolt, and tighten the Screw for Removal, widening 

the Slit Area.

How to con

¿

rm the correct tightening or clamping of the Spindles in the holder 

Measure the current value of the CONTROLLER's power cord by the clamp meter.
Fasten the holder so that the increase in the no-load current value (during rotation at the maximum 
rotation speed) with the Spindle fastened is 20mA (for type 120V) / 10mA (for type 200V / 230V) 
or less, compared to the no-load current value (during rotation at the maximum rotation speed) 
without fastening the Spindle. Do not over-tighten the Fastening Bolt. It may damage Spindle's 
precision and shorten the life of the bearings. 

The 

¿

nal responsibility for ensuring holder

ʼ

s safety for use in a given application is left to the 

designer of the equipment in which NAKANISHI's Spindle is installed.
NAKANISHI offers Spindle with a wide variety of capabilities and speci

¿

cations.

Please carefully check the Spindle's speci

¿

cations against the requirements of your equipment 

and verify suitability and safety of the Holder prior to initial use.

 

 CAUTION

BREAK-IN PROCEDURE

13.

During transportation, storage or installation, the grease inside the bearings will settle. If the Spindle is suddenly 
run at high-speed, the grease will be ejected from the bearings, causing excessive heat that will cause bearing 
damage.
After installation, repair, initial operation, or long periods of non operation, please follow the break-in procedure 
detailed in Table. 2.

Items to Check

No Abnormal 
Noises

The Spindle housing temperature during the 
break-in process should not exceed 20 degrees 
C (36 degrees F) above ambient temperature. 
Should the Spindle exceed this limit, rest the 
Spindle for at least 20 minutes and re-start the 
break in procedure from the beginning. If the 
housing temperature rises again and exceeds 
20 degrees C (36 degrees F) above ambient 
temperature, check the Spindle and motor for 
proper installation.

Refer to the brushless motor and the E3000 CONTROLLER Operation Manuals.

DISPOSAL OF THE SPINDLE

15.

When disposal of a Spindle is necessary, follow the instructions from your local government agency for proper 
disposal of industrial components.

ADJUSTMENT OF " TOOL MOUNTING DEPTH "

10.

Please make the stopper by your own to adjust " Tool Mounting Depth "
Utilize the screw M2 x 0.4

3 in the spindle in consideration for " Dimension 

ȭ

A " to 

¿

INSTALLATION OF DUST COLLECTOR

11.

Do not over tighten the screw. This may cause damage to the spindle's precision. 

 

 CAUTION

Align the screw of dust collector with V-shaped groove. 

Tighten the screw (cup point screw or truncated cone point screw) with less than 50cN

m.

INSTALLATION OF THE SPINDLE

12.

When installing a Spindle to a 

¿

xed base, make sure the 

¿

xed base is grounded in order to avoid the risk of an 

electric shock.

 

 WARNING

When installing a Spindle, do not hit, drop or cause shock to the Spindle. This may cause damage 
to internal components and result in malfunctions.

When mounting the Spindle, be sure to secure within Clamping Area etched on the Spindle O.D. If 
the Spindle is installed incorrectly, damage to the internal components is possible. 

Cautions when tightening the securing bolts on to a Split Type Holder
Do not over-tighten the bolt. This will cause damage to Spindle's precision.
Tighten the bolt until the Spindle body can not be rotated by hand within the 

¿

xture.

Extreme tightening is not necessary or recommended.
Apply working force and check that the Spindle is tight before using. 

 

 CAUTION

REPLACING THE COLLET

9.

Turn the Lever counterclockwise.

Place the 8mm wrench on the spindle shaft to be 
fastened.

Place the 6.1mm wrench on the collet and turn it 
counter-clockwise to loosen the collet. And remove 
the collet from the spindle shaft together with the 
tool.

Remove the tool from the collet.

Insert the replacement collet and turn it clockwise 
to tighten.

Tighten lightly with the 8mm and 6.1mm wrenches.

Turn the Lever clockwise to close.

Always stop the brushless motor before operating the collet release lever.

 

 WARNING

Do not tighten the collet without inserting a tool or dummy bur as this will result in damage to the 
collet.

 

 CAUTION

Please set the cutting tools to minimize the overhang amount. 13mm is the maximum amount of 
overhang to maintain high accuracy and safety. 

RECOMMENDATION

Stop the motor and check that the motor is not 
rotating before replacement.

Turn the Lever counter-clockwise to loosen the 
collet and to remove the tool.

Insert the replacement tool into the collet.
Turn the Lever clockwise all the way until it snaps 
to tighten the collet.
