Dollate Power Feed Z Axis 450 in‑lbs Torque 0‑200 RPM

Description

Product Overview

The Dollate Power Feed Z Axis is a precision‑engineered accessory designed to enhance the performance of vertical knee milling machines. Constructed with a robust housing and a high‑efficiency Gleason spiral bevel gear, this feed delivers a consistent 450 in‑lbs of torque across a variable speed range of 0‑200 RPM. The compact, lightweight design—measuring just 7 x 3.5 x 11.7 inches and weighing 13.93 pounds—makes installation straightforward and minimizes the impact on machine balance. The feed is compatible with any milling machine that features a 5/8″ end shaft diameter, including popular Bridgeport, Precision Matthews, Enco, Jet, Sharp, Acer, and Webb models. Its low‑noise operation and stable transmission ratio ensure that users experience smooth, reliable feed during demanding machining tasks.

Usage

This Z‑axis power feed is ideal for a wide range of machining environments, from small prototype workshops to large production facilities. It excels in applications that require precise depth control, such as pocketing, contouring, and drilling operations on metal, plastic, and composite materials. The dual‑control mode offers both automatic constant‑speed operation and manual speed adjustment via a convenient knob, giving operators the flexibility to fine‑tune feed rates for intricate cuts or heavy‑duty material removal. Because the unit is powered by standard AC, it integrates seamlessly into existing shop electrical systems without the need for additional batteries or converters. Whether you are a seasoned machinist looking to increase productivity or a hobbyist seeking professional‑grade results, the Dollate Z‑axis feed provides the reliability and accuracy needed for high‑quality milling.
