Royal spindle repair on MTcut V85

Complete repair of the ROYAL spindle from the MTcut V85 machine

  • Spindle: ROYAL

  • Machine: MTcut V85

  • Spindle speed: 12,000 rpm

  • Taper: SK40

A ROYAL spindle working in a MTcut V85 machining center arrived at our service. The unit with a speed of 12,000 rpm and SK40 taper failed due to bearing seizure. The spindle was immediately removed by the client’s Maintenance Department, and the entire process was supervised and instructed by BMS Spindle Service specialists.

During diagnostics we confirmed heavy wear of rolling elements and damage to the thrust surfaces in the bearing seats. A decision was made to perform a complete spindle repair.

1. Removal and condition assessment
The spindle was safely removed by the Maintenance Department in line with our guidelines. After delivery to our service, a detailed assessment of damage and bearing seizure was performed.
2. Disassembly and cleaning
The spindle interior was disassembled and all components thoroughly cleaned of grease residues and chips — a key stage that reveals micro-damage not visible at first glance.
3. Bearing replacement
The worn bearing set was replaced with new full-ceramic bearings, providing top thermal resistance and minimal friction. This ensured very stable operating parameters and smooth running even at maximum speeds.
The tool taper was restored to nominal geometry to ensure perfect tool seating and machining accuracy. Concentricity was verified after the repair.
All clamping components were disassembled, cleaned and inspected. Belleville springs and guide sleeves passed dimensional checks; the entire system was then calibrated to achieve the correct tool clamping force as per ROYAL spindle specification.
6. Assembly and final testing
The spindle was assembled under controlled conditions and then underwent dynamic tests — runout measurement, temperature control and full-speed trial. Results confirmed full unit readiness.
7. Support during reinstallation
The client’s MTcut V85 machine was re-equipped with the spindle by the Maintenance Department under our remote supervision. The instructions covered assembly sequence, tightening torques and final in-machine calibration.

  • Internal service scope: complete disassembly and cleaning, replacement of the entire bearing set with full-ceramic, SK40 taper restoration, and tool clamping force calibration.
  • Assembly and verification: assembly under controlled conditions, full-speed testing, runout and temperature measurements — results within tolerance; support for the first start-up on MTcut V85.
  • Result and recommendations: parameters restored (up to 12,000 rpm), stable operation and production readiness; delivered maintenance guidelines and documentation (clamping force checks, periodic taper inspection, clean tool seat).

Frequently asked questions
ROYAL spindle repair / MTcut V85

Usually 3–5 business days from approval. The cost depends on scope (bearings, taper, clamping system). After an initial call we provide a range, and after diagnostics — a firm quote before we start.
In most cases yes. ROYAL spindle repair shortens downtime; the price is typically 25–40% of a new unit. You receive a warranty and a test report.
Removal can be done by the client’s maintenance team, while BMS provides step-by-step phone guidance (sequence, torques, post-removal checks). On-site help is also possible — agreed individually.
