10 - 1 Mounting a straight type motor spindle The following instructions are for the spindles listed below only: (BM- 319 / BM- 319 C / BMJ- 319 / BM- 320 / BMJ- 320 / BM- 322 / BMJ- 322 / BM- 325 / BMJ- 325 ) CAUTION When mounting the motor spindle, be sure to mounting within clamping area etched on the spindle.
Page 35
② When installing a motor spindle to the holder, recommended installation method is shown Fig 36. Refer to " ③ How to fabricate the Split Type Holder ". If this is not possible, install as shown in Fig. 37 using the Controllers X10mA function to avoid crushing the motor spindle.
Page 36
CAUTION Do not allow set screws to come directly in contact with the spindle Deformation body as shown in Fig. 38, as this will result in damage to the spindle Damage of Internal housing and internal components. Components Fastening Bolt When installing, never clamp directly Fastening Bolt over the bearings, as this will result in...

Page 41
<Option> ・ Spacer (10mm) By using this spacer between the back of the flange and the front the machine's tool block, it is possible to extend the cutting tool edge forward 10mm (For BM-322FR, BM-322FL and BMF-322). SP- 22 × 10L Model Fig.
11 . BREAK-IN PROCEDURE During transportation, storage or installation the grease inside the bearings will settle. If the spindle is suddenly run at high-speed excessive heat will cause bearing damage. After installation, repair, initial operation, or long periods of non operation please follow the break-in procedure detailed in Table 5.

12 . CAUTIONS WHEN USING GRINDSTONES AND CUTTING TOOLS CAUTION The maximum surface speed or rpm is always specified for a grindstone. Do not exceed the maximum speed with reference to the calculating chart below. Always follow the grindstone manufacturers' recommendations. 3.14 x Diameter (mm) x rotation speed (min Surface Speed (m / s) = 1,000 x 60...
Page 44
⑥ Always operate tools within the allowable recommended speed of the tools. Use of a tool outside of the allowable speed of the tools could cause damage to the spindle and injury to the operator. ⑦ Keep the tool shank and collet clean. If contaminants are left in the collet or collet nut, excessive run-out will cause damage to the tool and or spindle.
Inspection / Corrective Action Spindle does not rotate The ball bearings are damaged. Replace the ball bearings. or rotate smoothly. (Return to NAKANISHI dealer service.) Motor is broken. Replace the motor. (Return to NAKANISHI dealer service.) Overheating during Cutting debris has contaminated the ball Replace the ball bearings.
Page 46
Replace the collet and the collet nut. Inside of the spindle is worn. Replace the spindle shaft. (Return to NAKANISHI dealer service.) Contaminants inside the collet and the collet Clean the collet, collet nut and the inside of the spindle.
