Optimize rotational accuracy and rigidity with precision-engineered spindle shafts for superior machining stability.
Your spindle shaft is the heart of your machine’s tool clamping system. At AME, we know that precision matters—every micron counts. That’s why our Tool Clamping Systems Division offers end-to-end solutions for spindle shaft design, manufacturing, and repair, ensuring your machine runs at peak performance.
With decades of experience serving the world’s top machine tool builders, our team delivers spindle shafts that meet or exceed OEM specifications. Every shaft is precision-ground and meticulously inspected in-house using advanced Stotz air gauging, guaranteeing consistent inner profiles and perfect concentricity.
Explore real-world examples of the spindle shafts we manufacture in-house. From fast-turn custom orders to high-volume production, these parts highlight the precision, consistency, and capacity we deliver for customers across the industry.
From concept to finished product, we handle every stage of spindle shaft manufacturing—including design consultation, CNC machining, grinding, and final inspection. Whether you need a new build or an engineered upgrade, we’ve got you covered.
Need to replace a worn or obsolete shaft? We can assist to reverse engineer your existing shaft—even from a broken component—and deliver a brand-new, ready-to-install replacement that matches your machine’s requirements.
We build shafts to exact standards across all common tapers:
HSK • SK/CAT • KM • Big Plus
No matter your machine’s taper or interface, we deliver precision you can trust.
Capto/PSC we offer a tapered insert solution rather than building it in to the shaft itself.
Custom Tool Holders & Nose Inserts • Grind-Plate-Grind Services • Laser Welding Repairs and Modifications
Empower yourself with the knowledge to spec the right safety or holding solution—and keep your operation running smoothly.
From CAD models and catalogs to safety guides and FAQs, our resource hub gives you the tools to make confident, informed decisions. Need expert input? Our engineers are here to help. Whether you’re selecting a rod lock for a new design or ensuring compliance with safety standards, we’re happy to review your application and recommend the best fit.
Drawbar pull-force can impact surface finish, tool wear, taper corrosion, machine downtime, and tool breakage. It’s vital to get tool clamping right.
Need to improve your machine’s throughput? This is how you do it by decreasing setup time and overall costs.
Choosing the wrong tool clamping system partner can be a serious mistake. Old-school CNC machine tool clamping solutions may need extra maintenance, experience shorter lives, and can even be hazardous to operators. So, what do we recommend?
