PwnCNC's Spindle Components

When you receive your Spindle System, the first thing you'll want to do is to inventory all the parts.

 

1. Spindle Motor

• 2Hp 1.5kw 110v ER-11 65mm Air- or Water-Cooled 
• 2Hp 1.5kw 110v ER-20 80mm Air- or Water-Cooled
• 3Hp 2.2kw 220v ER-20 80mm Air- or Water-Cooled
• There are a few special order motors listed as options.
  • Note that we special order these from our motor manufacturer at the time you place your order.  It may take 2-4 weeks for your special-order motors to arrive.  This timeframe runs in parallel to any fulfillment timeframes listed above.
     

2. VFD (Variable Frequency Drive)

• Pre-wired and Pre-programmed VFD with our latest v5 Enclosure design with EMI Filtering AC Power Inlet.
  • Detachable keypad with dial speedometer (extendable via cat5 cable and keypad mount, not included)
  • US Power Cord (either 110v 5-15P or 220v L6-20P)
  • includes "Quiet mode" (which means the VFD's fan turns on only when needed)
  • PWM and Modbus automatic control capabilities (controlled through g-code programming)
  • 20mo manufacturer's warranty on VFD

 

3. Spindle Cable H20 - 6-Meters

• For 65mm Spindles, a 20' Plug-n-Play H17 Spindle Cable is included. If you require longer visit here, and buy by the foot.
• For 80mm spindles a 20' Plug-n-Play H20 Spindle Power Cable included.  If you'd like longer cables, checkout our Spindle Extension Cables or buy by-the-foot. (H20 for 80mm spindles)

 

 

4. Wrenches

• ER11:
  • 13mm for ER11 Shaft
  • 17mm for ER11a Nut
• ER20:
  • 21mm for ER20 Shaft
  • 30mm for ER20a Nut

 

5. Collets

• ER11:  1/16", 1/8", and 1/4" (more ER11 Collets here, and here)
• ER20:  1/8", 1/4", and 1/2" (more ER20 Collets here, and here)

 

6. VFD Wall Mounting Parts (screws required but not included)

• For mounting your VFD in a vertical orientation, a french cleat and locking clip. 
• Additional mounting options are available here.
   

7. IoT Plug for use with our IoT power strip (2-conductor wire and IoT Strip sold separately)

* Adding an IoT Power Strip will let you automatically turn on/off your cooling system and potentially dust extraction system.

Optional Accessories

 

 

1. Spindle Cable H20 Extension 2-meters (Optional)

• Sometimes 5-meters is just not long enough, purchase this extension cable separately to extend your Spindle Cable easily.

 

2. Kool Connectors (Optional and sold separately)

• Our water-cooled Spindle motors can come with our custom designed Kool Connectors which if purchased together with your spindle system, we'll pre-install the motor side connectors for you. 
• The difference between a drop or two and a puddle of coolant on your waste board. 

 

3. Cooling System (Required for water cooled systems, but sold separately)

• If you have an air-cooled Spindle motor, ignore this one... but if you have a water-cooled Spindle Motor, you'll need a cooling system.  We offer two different types of cooling systems.  The one pictured is our most basic which is a submersible pond pump and tubing. 
• More advanced option includes a CW-3000 Chiller.

 

4. Control Cable (Optional and sold separately)

• Control cables allow your CNC controller to control the VFD and Spindle motor.  It's optional because you can operate your spindle in manual mode... but it is required if you want to operate your spindle in automatic mode.
• We have a variety of control cable types which are unique depending on which CNC machine and controller you own.  One side will always fit into our VFD while the other fits into your specific machines controller.  If you switch CNC machines/Controllers... you can carry your spindle system to the new setup with a simple change of the control cable and a few programming settings.
