Mazak Redefines Spindle Performance Metrics


Friday 9 January 2026, 9:44:19 PM


Mazak North America is emphasizing the importance of understanding spindle capabilities beyond just speed, promoting a deeper evaluation of horsepower and torque. The company suggests that while spindle speed is easy to compare, the more significant factors are continuous versus duty-rated horsepower and torque curves, as well as the impact of heat on performance.

Mazak’s focus is on providing clear and precise spindle specifications to ensure manufacturing shops can accurately assess a spindle’s true capabilities. This insight enables manufacturers to make informed decisions about machine tools that best suit their applications.

The company highlights that relying solely on peak numbers can be misleading. By clearly defining spindle specifications, Mazak aims to offer a transparent view of performance, helping users optimize tool selection and improve operational efficiency.

Mazak remains a leader in machine tool innovation, consistently pushing the boundaries of performance and transparency in the industry. This approach supports their commitment to enhance manufacturing efficiency and precision globally.
