TS-02 400W 48V DC Spindle ER11
400 W DC spindle motor, 12-48 V DC at 8.5 A, 3,000-12,000 rpm, ER11 collet, 52 mm dia x 170 mm, 1.4 kg.
Overview
The TS-02 is a 400 W DC spindle motor, sitting between the TS-01 and TS-03 in a three-model family that shares one frame.
It runs from a 12-48 V DC supply, drawing up to 8.5 A, and covers 3,000 to 12,000 rpm. Tooling is held in an ER11 collet, suited to small-diameter shanks for engraving, PCB milling and light routing rather than heavy stock removal.
The body is 52 mm in diameter and 170 mm long - the same frame as the TS-01 and TS-03 - so a mount built for one fits all three, and the choice between them is really a choice of how much current the supply can deliver.
Speed is set by the DC supply voltage or by a separate PWM speed controller; the spindle has no onboard speed control of its own.
The TS-01 (300 W) draws less current from a smaller supply, and the TS-03 (500 W) takes more for heavier cuts, both in the same footprint.

Questions
I'm choosing between the TS-01, TS-02 and TS-03 — what's actually different between them, since they look nearly identical?
Same frame (52mm × 170mm), same ER11 collet, same speed range — the real difference is power and current draw. This one is 400 W at up to 8.5 A, between the TS-01 (300 W) and TS-03 (500 W, more current for heavier cuts). It's really a question of how much current your supply can deliver.
Will this handle light routing, or is it strictly an engraving spindle?
It covers light routing as well as engraving and PCB milling — not heavy stock removal, but a step up in capability from pure engraving work.
I already have a mount built for the TS-01 — will this one fit it?
Yes — identical frame, so a mount built for one fits all three in this family.
What does it need for a power supply?
12-48 V DC, drawing up to 8.5 A.
Does it come with its own speed control, or do I need to add that?
You need to add it — the spindle has no onboard speed control; speed is set by the DC supply voltage or a separate PWM controller.
