Blockhead series
High axial load capacity in a compact size, offered since 1965. Seven universal spindles in three package sizes, from the 3 inch 3R to the 10 inch 10R 606.
- 1 µin (25 nm)
- Synchronous error, radial and axial, every model
- 60–350 N/µm
- Radial stiffness across the series
- 15,000 rpm
- Rated speed of the 3R
New to Blockheads? The 4R is one of our most popular models and typically the best place to start.
ISO series
Higher radial and tilt loads at higher speeds. Water-cooled spindles for high-speed machining and direct machining of optical surfaces.
- 0.5 µin (13 nm)
- Synchronous error, ISO 5.5F and 5.5PG
- 50,000 rpm
- ISO 2.25 (50K), water-cooled
- 250 lb (115 kg)
- Ultimate radial load, ISO 5.5F and 5.5PG
4RH oil hydrostatic
