Mitsubishi Electric MDS-C1-SP-260 Spindle Drive Unit

The Mitsubishi Electric MDS-C1-SP-260 Spindle Drive Unit delivers 26.0 kW of rated output in a rack- or panel-mounted package, providing digital spindle control to regulate spindle speed and torque in CNC machining systems. Designed for CNC lathes, machining centers, and milling machines, it uses encoder or sensor feedback (model-dependent) and forced-air cooling to maintain stable performance, with 3-phase AC input (200–230 VAC typical) at 50/60 Hz and rack/panel mounting for straightforward retrofit, compatible with Mitsubishi spindle motors. Applications span precision manufacturing environments requiring consistent speed regulation and reliable operation, and it is part of the MDS-C1 family with related replacements such as the MDS-C1-SP-220, MDS-C1-SP-300, and MDS-D-SP-260.
