Spindle Clamp 52mm Dia
Spindle motor holder for 52 mm diameter spindles, for mounting the spindle to the Z axis.
Overview
A clamp for mounting a 52 mm diameter spindle motor to a machine's Z axis.
The number that matters is the body diameter, not the power. Spindles of quite different power ratings share a body diameter, and spindles of the same power come in different diameters, so measure the spindle you actually have, or check its stated body diameter, before choosing a clamp. A holder that does not match will not grip, and packing it out is not a fix on a part that carries all the cutting load. This catalogue's TS-01, TS-02 and TS-03 DC spindles are all 52 mm diameter and fit this clamp.
The clamp is the mechanical link between the cutting forces and the machine. Its rigidity sets how much the spindle deflects under load, which shows up directly as finish quality and cut accuracy.
For other spindle diameters, see the rest of the Spindle Holder range.

Questions
I've got a 300W spindle — should I be matching this clamp to the power rating or something else?
Body diameter, not power. Spindles of quite different power ratings can share a body diameter, and spindles of the same power come in different diameters — measure the spindle you actually have, or check its stated body diameter. This catalogue's TS-01, TS-02 and TS-03 are all 52mm and fit this clamp regardless of their different power ratings.
The clamp isn't gripping my spindle tightly — can I just pack it out with shims to make it fit?
No — a holder that doesn't match the spindle's actual diameter won't grip properly, and packing it out isn't a fix on a part that carries the entire cutting load.
Does the clamp actually affect my cut quality, or is it just a mounting bracket?
It matters more than a bracket would suggest — it's the mechanical link between cutting forces and the machine, and its rigidity sets how much the spindle deflects under load, which shows up directly as finish quality and cut accuracy.
