Energy and Power Transmission #
KINWA’s company profile lists energy and power transmission components as a suitable application for its lathes. This category includes shafts, couplings, gear blanks, hubs, rings, turbine components and other parts used in power generation, transmission and industrial drive systems.
These parts often combine large diameters, long lengths and heavy weights, so machine rigidity, spindle bore and between-centers capacity are important. KINWA’s CHK manual lathes and CL flat-bed CNC lathes are designed for this type of work.
Typical Parts #
- Drive shafts and line shafts
- Couplings and hubs
- Gear blanks and rings
- Turbine and generator components
- Bearing housings and sleeves
- Large fasteners and threaded parts
Recommended KINWA Series #
- CHK Series — Ø860–Ø1020 mm swing and long beds for large manual work.
- CL Series - Flat Bed — Large-bore CNC turning up to Ø530 mm bore.
- CHD Series — Medium and large components with manual control.
Selection Notes #
Confirm the maximum workpiece weight, diameter and length, the required spindle bore, and whether a steady rest or tailstock support is needed. For long shafts, the between-centers capacity and bed rigidity are usually the deciding factors.
