The 2.2Kw Chinese Spindles - Info, Setup and Advice + More

The VFD is the power supply/controller for the spindle. You need to connect power directly to the VFD terminals and it will control the power to the spindle.

See the first post in this thread for connection details.

Hi Clive, the spindle has got 4 entries whereas the VFD has got 3 entries. Do i need to use the same cable for both connections? Also, should a power supply for the spindle be included in the package that I have bought?

Valeria, It sounds like you have very little experience with electronics so I seriously suggest you get someone with more experience to do this for you.

Your dealing with High voltage and very fiddly connectors and if got wrong it's very easy to damage the VFD and spindle beyond repair.

Yes and potentially do yourself some serious damage. If you're not 100% certain get an electrician to wire this up for you. With mains voltage, it's better to be safe than dead.

Hi.
I'm about to buy a Chinese spindle and going trough ebay and this forum I found 3kW water cooled spindle for 150GBP + shipping at couple of the PORTSMOUTH located sellers.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3KW-WATER-...item27db5b6994

It seems quite cheap for that power. Too cheap?

Some of the pictures of 3kW spindles says 380V. Anyone has experience with 3kW spindles?

Has anyone measured runout of this spindles and checked how many bearings they have(if that makes any difference?)

Best regards
Bart
