Hi > I need a 2 kW spindle motor and appropriate VFD drive for a wood router.
I recently bought a 2.1 KW 24000 RMP max. spindle from HSD: http://www.hsdusa.com/viewdoc.asp?co_id=725 And a Hitachi Vektor VFD drive: http://www.hitachi-america.us/products/business/inverters/products/ac_variable_speed_drives/sj200/ I bought the spindle directly from HSD Germany and the VFD from a German web shop - in total 1500 EUR IIRC. I'm very pleased with the set-up. The spindle runs surprisingly quiet for a air cooled motor because it's cooled by a fan with it's own 24V motor. The spindle also has a built in NTC so you could monitor the temperature or control the fan to minimise noise. The overall build quality of the spindle is excellent, especially for it's rather low price. I have another HSD (8KW, 60k RPM, water cooled) running and this also performs very well. The Hitachi Vektor VFD does a very good job in keeping up the spindles torque even at low speed and allows smooth rotations even at extremely low speeds for touch-up purpose. I case the HSD motors are to expensive you could look at the Elte spindles: http://www.eltesrl.com/ The HSD replaced a low end 1 kW Elte spindle.
