Servo motors with built-in encoder and forced cooling for the main spindle. Torque must hold across a wide speed range: at low speeds for heavy turning, at high speeds for finishing. Inovance MS1H and Wolong WGM water-cooled series deliver 7.5–90 kW at speeds up to 12,000 rpm and low-speed torque up to 600 N·m.

• 7.5–90 kW power, 1:10,000 control range
• 23-bit absolute encoder (8,388,608 pulses/rev)
• Torque-loop bandwidth ≥ 2 kHz
• Forced liquid or air cooling (IC416/IC81W)
• Bearing protection against shaft currents (insulated non-drive-end bearing)

Precision servo motors with low rotor inertia and built-in holding brake. They couple to the ball screw directly via a bellows coupling or through a 1:3–1:10 feed gearbox. Low rotor inertia matters for fast reversals during contour following, and a holding brake is mandatory on the vertical Z axis so the spindle does not drop on power loss. Inovance SV660 / WOLONG WPM cover 0.4–7 kW.

• 0.4–7 kW power, 1.3–22 N·m torque
• Low rotor inertia (J ≤ 5 × 10⁻⁴ kg·m²)
• Built-in 24 V holding brake on the Z axis
• 300 % overload for 3 s (for accelerations)
• EtherCAT or Mechatrolink-III fieldbus to the CNC controller

Mechanical shear-type presses use a 75–500 kW asynchronous motor to spin the flywheel up to working speed. Working-stroke energy comes not from the motor but from the flywheel's stored kinetic energy; in steady state the motor only tops up 10–20 % to recover speed. No VFD start is required here — a general-industrial motor with high starting torque or a soft starter is sufficient.

• 75–500 kW power, 6 or 8 poles
• Starting torque ≥ 1.8 × rated
• Insulation class F, IP55
• Compatibility with the press friction clutch (heavy extended shaft)
• S6 duty capability (continuous with short-time load)

Standard 5.5–200 kW asynchronous motors driving axial-piston and vane pumps in hydraulic power packs. S1 continuous duty, IP55, class F. Large hydraulic presses use several pumps on separate motors — this allows shutting down part of the pumps in low-flow cycles and saving energy. Variable-output presses use VFD start via Invt or Inovance drives.

• 5.5–200 kW power, 4 or 6 poles
• Insulation class F, IP55, S1 continuous duty
• Pump compatibility via IEC B3/B5 flange
• Inverter-duty option (NEMA MG1 Part 31) for VFD operation
• Built-in PTC thermal protection

Grinding operations need spindles running at 6,000–15,000 rpm with fine rotor balancing (G1.0 or better). Dedicated servo motors or 1.5–15 kW high-frequency asynchronous motors (200–400 Hz) with G2.5 balancing are used. Bearings are ceramic or forced oil-lubricated. A specific requirement is low no-load vibration — otherwise vibration marks transfer to the ground surface.

• 6,000–15,000 rpm speed
• Rotor balancing per ISO 1940 G1.0–G2.5
• Long-life bearings (ceramic or oil-mist)
• No-load vibration ≤ 1.8 mm/s (zone A per ISO 10816)
• High-frequency VFD compatibility

Precision planetary gearboxes 1:3–1:100 with 1–3 arc-min backlash, used to couple servo motors to ball screws and rack-and-pinion drives of gantry machines. Low inertia and high torsional stiffness preserve the position-loop bandwidth of the servo drive. On large gantry plasma cutters they are used to synchronize the two Y axes.

• 1:3 – 1:100 ratio
• Backlash ≤ 3 arc-min (precision class)
• Torsional stiffness ≥ 10 N·m/arc-min
• Servo motor flange compatibility (DIN or proprietary chart)
• Low referred inertia (J ≤ 1 × 10⁻⁴ kg·m²)

Standard industrial helical-bevel (K-series) or in-line (R-series) gear motors for auxiliary drives: chip conveyors, workpiece chain conveyors, coolant feed, tool magazine buffers. Boneng K and HB series 0.55–11 kW cover the full set of typical tasks.

• 0.55–11 kW power, 5–200 ratio
• Service factor ≥ 1.5
• IP55 protection (IP66 in coolant zone)
• Compatibility with 24 V brake
• Seal resistance to oil-based coolants

On gantry cutting machines (plasma, oxy-fuel, laser) gantry drives run through a rack and pinion. Precision planetary gearboxes with an output pinion are used, with low backlash and high efficiency. Rack length reaches 10–24 m, so the stiffness of the gearbox-to-carriage mount and rack alignment accuracy are critical.

• Output pinion with module 2–4 mm
• Installed backlash ≤ 0.05 mm along the arc
• Spring-loaded mounting to eliminate clearance
• 1:5–1:20 ratio
• Adjustable center distance

Servo drives with 1:10–1:50 planetary gearboxes on the back-gauge stops. Stop positioning accuracy defines the cut-length accuracy of the sheet — typically ±0.05 mm over 4 m. Backlash here must not exceed 1 arc-min and reverse repeatability must be high.

• Stop positioning accuracy ±0.05 mm
• Backlash ≤ 1 arc-min (high-precision class)
• Reverse repeatability ≤ 0.02 mm
• 1:10–1:50 ratio
• Low thermal deformation (operating up to 80 °C)

Longxuan LX/LMC flexible couplings with elastomer bushings reduce vibration amplitude of the main motor under interrupted cutting (milling with entry/exit) and compensate small shaft misalignment.

Zero-backlash metal couplings between the servo motor and the ball screw. Bellows couplings suit long shafts with greater misalignment compensation; disc-pack couplings suit short shafts with high torques. Torsional stiffness must exceed 200 N·m/rad, otherwise position-loop bandwidth is lost and oscillations appear on finishing passes.

• 5–500 N·m torque
• Zero-backlash design
• Torsional stiffness ≥ 200 N·m/rad
• Axial misalignment compensation ±0.5 mm
• G2.5 balancing for speeds up to 6,000 rpm
