The main rotating assembly of a CNC lathe that houses the spindle and drive system.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Headstock
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Spindle Nose | A2-5 | Determines chuck mounting compatibilityISO 702-1 |
| Spindle Bore | 52–65 mm | Larger bore allows bar stock up to 65 mm |
| Spindle Speed Range | 30–4000 rpm | Higher speeds for non-ferrous materials |
| Spindle Motor Power | 7.5–15 kW | Continuous rating; peak power may be higher |
| Max Torque | 100–300 N·m | At low speed for heavy cutting |
| Spindle Runout | 0.003–0.005 mm | Measured at spindle nose; affects surface finishISO 230-1 |
| Operating Temperature | 5–45 °C | Above 45°C, lubrication may degrade |
| Cooling Method | Oil–air | Prevents thermal growth at high speeds |
| Lubrication | Grease | Sealed for life; no maintenanceISO 6743-9 |
| Weight | 150–300 kg | Affects machine rigidity and foundation |
| IP Rating | IP54–IP65 | Higher rating for coolant exposureIEC 60529 |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
This component is essential for the following industrial systems and equipment:
| pressure: | Atmospheric (sealed system), internal lubrication pressure: 0.1-0.3 MPa |
| other spec: | Max spindle speed: 6000 rpm, power rating: 5.5-22 kW, vibration limit: ≤2.5 mm/s |
| temperature: | +5°C to +45°C |
Indicative industry ranges for design and RFQ preparation. Confirm the exact figures and applicable standard with the manufacturer before specifying.

Manufacturer profiles associated with Headstock.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The headstock houses the main spindle and drive system, providing rotational power and precision to hold and rotate the workpiece during turning operations.
Common spindle nose is A2-5 (ISO 702-1), and spindle bore ranges from 52 to 65 mm, allowing bar stock up to 65 mm. Verify exact values for your model.
In CNC lathes, the CNC system controls spindle speed based on programmed parameters, enabling optimal cutting conditions for different materials and operations.
Lubrication is typically grease sealed for life, but cooling method may be oil–air. Monitor for abnormal noise, vibration, or temperature rise, and follow manufacturer guidelines.
