Description
SJ-BG180D/150-01☐ (Mitsubishi Electric)
SJ-BG180D/150-01☐ is a Mitsubishi Electric SJ-BG series built-in AC spindle motor, designed for heavy-duty CNC machining centers requiring:
- integrated spindle construction
- high rigidity and structural stiffness
- stable thermal behavior under continuous load
- strong cutting torque for heavy machining
- precision operation up to high-speed range
It belongs to the SJ-BG built-in spindle motor family, where the motor is directly integrated into the spindle housing (not belt-driven).
