CAUTION

How to confirm the correct tightening or clamping of the Spindles in the holder : In case of use 
a brushless motor.
Measure the current value of the CONTROLLER's power cord by the clamp meter.
Fasten the holder so that the increase in the no-load current value (during rotation at the 
maximum rotation speed) with the Spindle fastened is 10mA (for type 200V / 230V) or less, 
compared to the no-load current value (during rotation at the maximum rotation speed) 
without fastening the Spindle. Do not over-tighten the Fastening Bolt. It may damage Spindle's 
precision and shorten the life of the bearings.

The final responsibility for ensuring holder's safety for use in a given application is left to the 
designer of the equipment in which NAKANISHI's Spindle is installed.
NAKANISHI offers Spindles with a wide variety of capabilities and specifications.
Please carefully check the Spindle's specifications against the requirements of your equipment 
and verify suitability and safety of the Holder prior to initial use.

How to fabricate the Split Type Holder
(1) Rough bore the inside diameter of the Split 

Type Holder.

(2) Cut a slit. (Ex. Slit 2mm) wide
(3) Tighten the Screw for Removal and Force 

Open the Slit Area.

(4) Insert a spacer (Ex. thickness = 2mm) into 

the Slit Area.

(5) Loosen the Screw for Removal, and tighten 

the fastening bolt with the specified torque.

(6) Finish the Split Type Holder so that the 

inside diameter of the Split Type Holder is 

ȭ

30 with its tolerance range from - 0.01mm 

to - 0.015mm, and its roundness and 
cylindricity of less than 5μm.

(7) When inserting the Spindle loosen the 

Fastening Bolt and twist the Screw for 
Removal, and widen the Slit Area.

Items to Check

No Abnormal 
Noises.

The Spindle housing temperature during 
the break-in process should not exceed 
20 degrees C (36 degrees F) above 
ambient temperature. Should the Spindle 
exceed this limit, rest the Spindle for at 
least 20 minutes and re-start the break 
in procedure from the beginning. If the 
housing temperature rises again and 
exceeds 20 degrees C (36 degrees F) 
above ambient temperature, check the 
Spindle and motor for proper installation.

The Spindle 
housing 
temperature 
during the break-
in process should 
not exceed 
20 degrees C 
(36 degrees F) 
above ambient 
temperature.

. BREAK-IN PROCEDURE

During transportation, storage or installation, the grease inside the bearings will settle. If the Spindle is suddenly run at 
high-speed, the grease will be ejected from the bearings, causing excessive heat that will cause bearing damage. After 
installation, repair, initial operation, or long periods of non operation, please follow the break-in procedure detailed in Table 1.
