Winner in all (performance) classes

The motor spindle is one of the most essential modules of a tooling machine, a milling center, or a robot-based end-of-arm solution. With it, you can achieve the highest level of productivity and precision. It enables optimal performance and workpiece quality. The mechanically integrated motor solutions are extremely compact, highly productive and achieve maximum stiffness, which is required for the highest speeds and precise rotation.

The Zimmer Group offers you the perfect product range for this. Whether you are looking for a motor spindle for use in milling machines or machining centers, you will find economical standard motor spindles, air-cooled spindles in the low and medium performance ranges, fluid-cooled high-performance spindles and, of course, the matching accessories from inverters to cooling units, C-axes and connection sets in our various spindle kits.

Consultation and design

As the heart of a machine, the motor spindle needs to be integrated into the machine concept with expertise. When it comes to selecting the spindle, this goes far beyond the dimensions and performance data. We are glad to help you deal with all the aspects that arise, such as power supply, control and cooling. These are foundational parameters for ensuring that your application performs to your expectations. Are you already using a spindle in your machine but looking for an alternative or upgrade? We would be happy to advise you!

Spare parts service

Manufacturer quality at fair prices, discussed and delivered with the appropriate level of skill. That is what we offer.

Express repair service

In the event of an accident, it is essential to be able to resume your core duties quickly. In the case of spindle damage, it is therefore a question of how quickly and at what cost your machine can be returned to production at a reasonable expense. Spindle damage starts with the steps of disassembly, then the spindle repair or spindle replacement, then the final recommissioning the machine. As a rule, it therefore makes sense to have the functional spare spindle on site so that disassembly and recommissioning can be carried out at minimum cost during a service call. That is why we deliver you a refurbished or new replacement spindle quickly and without red tape and then service your defective motor spindle carefully.

Service contracts

Are you looking for reliability and support during the lifecycle of your equipment to ensure that you can make long-term plans for your products and production capabilities? We offer the service agreements you need to guarantee that your production capacity is maintained.

On-site service

At your request, our experienced service personnel are happy to visit you on-site to carry out service operations, assist in commissioning or offer professional consultation.
