Order the 2.2kW Water Cooled Spindle and Inverter Combo for more efficient, quieter CNC routing. Ships from USA. Warranty and Support available. Do not attempt to wire your VFD or spindle on your own. Consult with a professional electrician before following the diagram.
Each VFD spindle pair is tested and all the parameters are configured for your convenience and to insure that the VFD and spindle will function correctly without failure. Incorrect parameter settings can damage the spindle or VFD. If you purchase cabling, we will solder the cable to the spindle and connect the cable to the VFD. Each order will have a video of the test of the spindle and VFD that they purchase Here is the cable we recommend purchasing with the spindle to receive the free cable connector soldering. https://buildyourcnc.com/item/3d-printer-component-cnc-electronicsandmotors-shieldedcable-wire-4-conductor-18-awg-wrcon-cablewire4conductor18awg Here is an example of a test that we do:
The power cable is not included, but we do show how we connect the power cable to the VFD. We have tested spindles from many manufacturers and this spindle and VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) is the best one we have found. This spindle has four (4) bearings. Having four bearings in your spindle is very important and will maintain the precision and extend the life of the spindle. If you're planning on purchasing a spindle from eBay, or other source, keep in mind that support will be limited. We support our spindles! They are shipped from the United States. We can support the spindles with the years of experience we have been dealing with these spindles and we have searched really hard for the right spindle and VFD. There is a connection to the spindle for power. Three of the four connections are used which connect to the internal coils that make the spindle spin. The fourth connection is not connected (NC). Spindles need to be cooled and this spindle uses water for this purpose. More importantly, this aspect of water cooling does not allow air movement to cool the spindle (as opposed to routers that move air through the router to cool by convection). Water cools the spindle using conduction (heat transfer through contact). This is important because, as opposed to air movement, water cooling will not blow the dust all over the shop, and the dust and chips left over by the milling and cutting process can be removed with a dust collector or vacuum. The ports for the water cooling tubes or hose is located at the back of the spindle. The port fitting will accept a tube or hose that has a 1/4" (.25 inch) inside diameter and an outside diameter of 3/8" (.375 inch). Either port can be used for in or out. It's just important that the water flow through the body of the spindle. The sound level from a spindle is extremely low as compared to routers. In fact, the sound from a spindle is quieter than the actual cutting and milling action from the end mill, and much quieter than a router. The spindle comes with a 1/4" (.25 inch) collet, which is the measure of the bore (inside diameter) inside which the shank of the end mill is inserted. the collet fits into the shaft where the collet taper matches the shaft taper. When the collet is inserted into this taper and the collet nut is tightened down, the collet squeezes around the shank of the end mill (helped by the way the collet is made with all of the sliced sections surrounding the collet). You will need two wrenches to tighten the collet nut onto the collet. Watch the video on the proper technique of loosening and tightening. Spindles required the use of a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) to function. These VFDs are also called spindle inverters. The VFD takes the power from the wall and creates a frequency with voltage and current to spin the spindle. The frequency can be controlled to control the RPM of the spindle. The VFD has a potentiometer to adjust the speed or RPM, but the RPM of the spindle can also be adjusted automatically from the control software. The VFD has a screen that shows many aspects of the condition or current status of the spindle including RPM or frequency, spindle rotation direction, any faults or errors that may be occuring and much more. Every aspect of the spindle can be controlled by the VFD and the VFD can also be programmed (setting can be configured). The VFD controls the spindles torque and commanded speed using PID control (Proportional Integral Derivative) that makes sure the spindle has the current and torque it needs to maintain the RPM under various load conditions. Routers are not able to do this and will exhibit a reduction in RPM (getting bogged down) when additional load is put on the router, like trying to cut deep into material. Controlling the VFD can be done manually, or can be completely controlled using control software like Mach3 and LinuxCNC. The face of the VFD contains buttons for Run, Mode, Reverse/Jog, Stop.Reset, Enter and various arrow buttons to browse and set various functions through the menu. The VFD contains many terminals connections for wiring the spindle to the VFD, wiring the controller (computer or other contolling device) to the VFD and wiring the VFD to the wall outlet for mains power. The spindle, by itself, weighs 10.93 lbs.

Instructions

Step 1
Spindle Wiring Diagram U -> Pin #3 V -> Pin #1 W -> Pin #2 Pin #4 is disabled. How to Program Inverter / VFD When Inverter is first powered on, there should be text flashing on the screen. Step 1: Press "MODE" button. The screen should now say "P0" Step 2: Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to change the P setting to the desired parameter. Example: To change setting P3-02 use the SIDE arrow to move the cursor. The flashing digit is the one currently selected. Change the digits using the arrows until the screen reads P3-02. Step 3: Press "Enter" to input the parameter for the setting. Example: After you have used the arrow buttons to select your setting, press the "ENTER" button and the screen will now change to the parameter. For instance: Setting P3-02 should be changed to 400.00. Step 4: Change the parameter using the arrows. When you have input the correct parameter, press "ENTER" again to save your setting. 400 Hz is equivalent to 24,000 RPM. It is a linear conversion from 0 to 400 Hz, for instance, 200 Hz is 12,000 RPM VFD Settings: Disclaimer: These values are provided for your convenience. Verify with the values in the manual that came with your VFD. Employ or seek the guidance of a professional electrician experienced in motor, spindle and VFD specifications and operation. THE WARRANTY OF THE SPINDLE AND VFD DEPENDS ON THE PROPER SETTING OF PARAMETERS AND THE USE OF A PROFESSIONAL ELECTRICIAN EXPERIENCED IN THIS TYPE OF OPERATION. I have not thoroughly tested the ranges of all parameters, and cannot vouch for the default values in the VFD that you are using. These instructions are an attempt to assist in cross referencing the parameters of disparate VFDs. To start and stop the spindle under Mach3, use a relay on your interface board (controller, like the Pokeys57CNC, Mach3 USB board, or parallel breakout board) and connect one side of the relay to DCM (XGND on some VFDs) and the other side of the relay to FOR (FWD on some VFDs). If the CNC controller contains more than 1 relay, you can use the relay to start the spindle in reverse mode using the same DCM (VGND) and the REV terminals.
Basic parameters that we recommend setting and confirming for simple control panel operation. Use the parameter that matches your VFD (i.e. PD###, P#-##, P##.##).
  • Main Frequency, Hz: In digital operator mode (PD001 set to 0) the VFD/Inverter will run at this parameter value and can be changed at the control panel using the up and down arrows. In multi-speed, this value is the same as Speed 1. If the VFD is set to use the external multi-terminals, then speed 1 will be set by the analog of the external terminals. This parameter value is limited by the maximum operating frequency
    • PD003: 400
    • P0.00: 400
  • Base Frequency/Pre-Set Frequency, Hz
    • PD004: 400
    • P0-08: 400
  • Max Frequency/Upper Limit Frequency, Hz
    • PD005: 400
    • P0-10: 400
    • P0-12: 400
    • P0.04: 400
    • P0.05 (At Max Voltage): 400
  • Intermediate Frequency, Hz. This value coincides with the intermediate voltage related to the ramping up of the spindle. This is to say, at the intermediate voltage (below PD009) of 13V, the intermediate frequency will be 2.5Hz. Be careful with this setting as a frequency too high for the set intermediate voltage can cause the spindle to try to spin up too fast. When the spindle tries to spin up at a higher frequency than the voltage is set, the spindle will draw more current to try to get up to that frequency. That means that you can get an over-current condition and that can also harm the spindle coils (too much current means too much heat equals melting the insulation of the copper wires of the coils, causing the coil wire to short and reducing the resistance of the coil, causing even more current draw, causing lots of smelly smoke and no more cutting of wonderful things).
    • PD006: 2.5
    • P00.07: 3.5
  • Maximum Voltage, V: 220 for a 220 Spindle and 110 for a 110 Spindle. (Check the spindles nameplate or marking for this value)
    • PD008: see above
    • P00.06: see above
  • intermediate Voltage, V: This is at what voltage the spindle will turn at the intermediate frequency setting. If you try to use a voltage setting that causes the spindle to try to spin up too fast, the spindle will over-torque causing an over-current condition. Be careful when setting this value and see the explanation for the intermediate frequency above.
    • PD009: 13
    • P00.08: 10
  • Minimum Voltage, V. This is the minimum STARTING voltage of the spindle and coincides with the lower limit frequency below. See the warning in the intermediate frequency above.
    • PD010: 6.5
    • P00.10: 5
  • Minimum Frequency, Hz. See the warning in the intermediate frequency above.
    • PD007: 0.5 allows only a max of 20Hz for this parameter
    • P0.09: .2
  • Lower limit frequency Hz: This is the control frequency that you want to set to make sure the spindle is not run at a frequency lower than the spindle can handle. All spindles of this nature have a speed (frequency) range that is can safely operate. This is set to 0 since the spindle that you will use may be a spindle that oper ates at a a different range. For example, for a spindle that is sold here, it is safe to run the spindle at 300Hz at the lowest. It may be fine to run it lower but be careful as you may reach the limit of your spindle and the coils will be damaged.

    1/2" lead screw can be purchased in one length up to 77 inches (6 feet, 5 inches). Motors are found under the "Motion Electronics" menu, and gears can be found under "Mechanical Components".

  • Can you control the VFD from mach3?

    Yes, you can control the VFD using the a relay.� You will need to connect the relay output (NO) to the forward terminal of the VFD and the gnd terminal.� You will need to look at the diagram for your VFD to determine which gnd to use in the set of terminals that is associated with the forward terminal.� The forward terminal may be called something else, but the manual will tell you (something like X1, or D1, etc.) You will also need to change a parameter in the VFD to use the external�terminals as opposed to the control from the control�panel.

  • Are there any other manuals for the VFD that comes with the 2.2kw spindle?

    We have manuals for the VFD rather than the spindles. Can you specify what issue you may be having so we can help you better? Additional Information: I am having trouble wiring the VFD. (From the wall outlet to the VFD) I think the manual or setup guide on your website is wrong. The two diagrams show two different sets of terminals on the page. Also, do you have a video or other documentation on programming the VFD? Your videos and documentation looks like it only covers the 1.2kw version. Are the two different spindles from different manufacturers?

  • Are there any special instructions regarding connecting water lines to the 2.2k spindle?

    There is no specific manner in connecting the water lines to the spindle. No specific output and input locations, only the diameter which we use is 1/4 Inside Diameter and 3/8 Outside Diameter (you might find another one that works just as well). Unscrew the 2 hose nuts and feed the tube through (will be snug), and adjust the tube on the hose fittings and screw the hose nuts down. Feed the tubes through your machine towards the water bucket, making sure it will not get caught on any moving parts and cause a jam/leak, and fit one tube to the outlet of your water pump and leave the other tube to the bucket as a return line. (unless you are using a cooler like a radiator, then feed it to the outlet of the radiator and to your water pump)

  • Can the 2.2 KW water cooled spindle be fitted with a 1/2" chuck/collet ?

    Absolutely. You can have 1/2" collets used in 2.2kW spindles. Here is a link for the ER-20 1/2"ID Collet: https://www.buildyourcnc.com/item/spindle-collet-!5-er20-spindle-collet

  • I bought a 2.2 Kw spindle and YL620 A-2 from you and am getting an ER 4 message. How do I fix it?

    If the VFD is presenting an ER 4 error, the VFD is most likely damaged. The VFD will either need to be serviced or you will need to purchase another VFD. The latter is probably the less expensive option, unfortunately. Additional Information: Additional Information: i had that error and found a power in wire touching and fixed and started and all was good. good luck Additional Information: i had that error and found a power in wire touching and fixed and started and all was good. good luck Additional Information: i had that error and found a power in wire touching and fixed and started and all was good. good luck Additional Information: i had that error and found a power in wire touching and fixed and started and all was good. good luck

  • What is the minimum RPM for the 2.2 kW spindle? Info on spindle page says 0-24,000. Elsewhere in this knowledge base it says 6000. My edge finder has a1500 RPM limit.

    The lowest Hz for a 2 pole 2.2kW spindle is 250 Hz. That works out to 15,000 RPM. If you need lower RPM, a separate spindle will be required. This is typical for industrial CNC machines where spindles are changed out to mill on different materials. Additional Information: Thank you for the reply. Does that mean the 2.2 kW spindle sold by BYCNC is a 2-pole, not a 4-pole? There don't seem to be specs on the website for the 2.2 kW spindle. I currently have the 1.5 kW spindle from BYCNC and can run from 0-24000. 1500 is no problem. I never mill at that low of a speed, just use the edge finder to set the workpiece coordinates.

  • Hello. I�m interested in buying a water cooled spindle and VFD. I have an Avid Pro CNC and would love to control it using Mach 4 but I keep hearing it�s difficult to integrate. Also, is the water pump 120 or 240? I�d love any advice etc. eBay is a web of confusion with all of the options. Thank you.

    You will need to look for the parameter that controls the run frequency. The frequency can be controlled bu the panel, external terminals, or the RS485 TX/RX terminals (UART protocol). You will want to change that parameter so it uses the panel. If you are referring to the maximum panel dial frequency is only allowing 200-300 rpm, then look for the parameters to control the frequency. For 200 RPM: Hz = 200/60 = 3.33 Hz For 300 RPM: Hz = 300/60 = 5 Hz Conversion to RPM: If you ever find yourself yearning to reverse-engineer the process, the formula is as follows: RPM = Hz � 60 Look for values that match somewhere between 3 and 5 in your frequency parameters and replace them with 400 to give you 24,000 RPM max.

  • I have a 110 volt 2.2kw water cooled spindle. Can I run it with a 220 volt VFD?

    I have not tried connecting a 110V spindle to a 220V VFD; however, the parameters in a 220V VFD do allow changes to the values for the spindle motor. If you do plan on connecting the 110V spindle to a 220V VFD, damages can occur, so I would not recommend it. With that said, here is the output of an LLM: Using a 220-volt VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) to run a 110-volt spindle is technically possible, but it requires careful setup to avoid damaging the spindle. Here's what you need to consider: Check the VFD Specifications: Ensure that the VFD can be set up to output the correct voltage for your spindle. Many VFDs are capable of outputting variable voltages and can be configured via their programming settings to match the voltage requirements of the spindle. Adjust the Output Voltage: You'll need to configure the VFD to output 110 volts to match your spindle. This is crucial because supplying 220 volts to a 110-volt spindle would likely damage it permanently. Check the VFD's manual for instructions on how to adjust the output voltage settings. Set the Current Correctly: Besides voltage, make sure the output current does not exceed what your spindle can handle. The VFD should be configured to supply the current at the rating appropriate for the spindle�s power and voltage requirements. Consult the Manuals: Always refer to the manuals of both the spindle and the VFD. These documents can provide specific guidance on compatibility and settings. Consider Professional Installation: If you are not familiar with electrical systems or if the manuals do not provide clear guidance, it may be wise to hire a professional. This helps ensure that the setup is done safely and correctly. By taking these steps, you can safely use a 220-volt VFD with your 110-volt spindle, ensuring it operates efficiently without risk of damage. Just be meticulous with the settings and when in doubt, consult with or hire a professional.

  • What is the minimum RPM for the 2.2kW spindle?

    Spindles with 2 poles, which is typically for these types of spindles will have a minimum RPM of 6000 RPM or 100Hz; however, I would not run the spindle below 15000 RPM or 250Hz to give a safety factor and no damage will occur. If you have a 4 pole spindle, then much lower RPMs can be achieved, and with higher torque than a 2 pole spindle. The 4 pole spindle will require more power than 2 pole spindles and will not be able to achieve as high maximum RPMs.

  • i need wiring from vfd to spindle, prefer with vfd connector? about 15 feet. do you have or suggest where to get some.

    The wiring from the spindle to the VFD will depend on the power rating on the spindle. For a 1.5 or 2.2kw spindle, you can use 18/4 cable. Shielded: https://buildyourcnc.com/item/3d-printer-component-cnc-electronicsandmotors-shieldedcable-wire-4-conductor-18-awg-wrcon-cablewire4conductor18awg Unshielded: https://buildyourcnc.com/item/3d-printer-component-cnc-electronicsandmotors-cable-wire-2-conductor-18-awg-wrcon-cablewire3conductor22awg I recommend using a shielded cable as this cable may need to be routed through the machine along with delicate signal cables. The signal cables should also be shielded as well. The shield should be wired to protective earth.

  • i need wiring from vfd to spindle, prefer with vfd connector? about 15 feet. do you have or suggest where to get some.

    You can find wiring diagrams and illustrations for the spindle on this page: https://buildyourcnc.com/item/spindle-inverter-2!2kw-spindle-novfd This information pertains to the 2.2 kW spindle; however, the wiring is the same for the other spindles as well.

  • how to identify spindle? 1.5 or 2.2 my spindle has er20 collets,220 colt. black vfd

    A 1.5kW spindle will have ER11 (ER-11) collets. A 2.2kW spindle will use ER20 (ER-20) collets which can have bores for shanks up to 13mm or 1/2". Both spindles typically have an 80mm body diameter. 2.2kW can have a larger diameter from some manufacturers.

  • What is the spindle runout calculated at?

    The run out for the spindles that are sold here is less than 0.005mm or 0.0002 inches.

  • I am having troubles finding the PD program, I have the Pd but it doesn't show everything I need to program my VFD. Any help will be appreciated...

    When you power up your VFD, you can go into the programming mode by pressing the program button. You can press the up and down arrows to move through the parameters. Press the set button to go into the parameter to see the value of that parameter. If you want to make changes to that parameter, change the value with the up and down arrows until the desired value is shown, and press the set button to accept the changes.

  • What are the noise levels of the 1.5 Kw and 2.2Kw spindles?

    The noise level of the 1.5 kW and the 2.2 kW are very similar. The noise level is considerably quieter than typical routers. I am going to add sound db levels to this FAQ a bit later. Additional Information: The db (decibels) reading for the spindle is 70 and an 890 Porter Cable router (a lower powered tool than the spindle) measured 90 db. Both measurements were taken in the same environment and measured at the same distance from the tool. Additional Information: Practically silent. The inverter makes more noise! Additional Information: Practically silent. The inverter makes more noise!

  • DOES THE SPINDLE RUN ON A 50HZ POWER SOURCE?

    The spindle inverter (VFD) will run on a 220V (or between 170V-250V) power source with either 50Hz or 60Hz.

  • Does the 2.2kW 220V Spindle need Euro/AUS-style 240V power (1 hot, 1 neutral, 1 ground) or do North American 220V style welding plugs (2 hots, 1 ground) also work? Thx!

    Our 1.5/2.2kW spindle will work with both setups, in our wiring diagram it is more seen as the Euro/AUS-style, however you can do the same thing with the North American style as well. Also depending on if you have single or three phase 220V, you can use pins R, S, T. A manual will arrive in the VFD box, which will have further information and diagrams. Please seek a certified electrician if you are unsure of any aspect in wiring the spindle or VFD, since wiring to main lines will require wiring of the plug and main lines to the inverter and to avoid any damage or injury's while installing the 1.5/2.2kW spindle and VFD combo.

  • I�M LOOKING TO PURCHASE SPINDLE AND VFD WAS CURIOS IF THE SPINDLES COME WITH COLLETS SO WHICH ONES?

    Yes, all of the spindles come with collets. The collets have a 1/4" (6.35mm) bore for end mills that have a 1/4" shank. The ER specification is different for the 1.5kW (ER-11) and the 2.2kW (ER-20). Additional Information: Additional Information: Additional Information:
