Rifa spindle and motor spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specializing in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of Rifa spindles and motor spindles. Rifa is a Chinese manufacturer of CNC machine tools (machining centres, lathes, boring mills, grinders), also active in aerospace.
Rifa, a Chinese CNC machine tool manufacturer
TLDR: Zhejiang RIFA Precision Machinery (Xinchang, China, founded in 1999, 1,188 employees) builds machining centres, CNC lathes, boring mills and grinders, as well as automated bearing grinding lines.
Zhejiang RIFA Precision Machinery Co., Ltd, listed on the Shenzhen stock exchange, develops and builds CNC machine tools for China and for export: vertical, horizontal and gantry machining centres, vertical and horizontal CNC lathes, horizontal CNC boring mills, CNC grinders and automatic bearing grinding lines. The group is also active in aerospace equipment and parts (engine casings, structures, composites).
Spindles for milling, turning and grinding
TLDR: The Rifa range combines several spindle technologies: milling, turning, boring and grinding. Exact specifications are not published.
A Rifa spindle is therefore not the same from one machine family to another. The manufacturer does not publish spindle specifications: we confirm them with the quote, based on the nameplate and the machine reference. As with many machines of Asian origin, documentation is often hard to obtain in Europe, and we identify the spindle from the spindle itself.
Rifa spindles and motor spindles covered (non-exhaustive list)
- Vertical and horizontal machining centre spindles

- Spindles of CNC grinders and bearing grinding lines

Interfaces and specifications
Speeds, power ratings and interfaces vary with the model and year: to be confirmed with the quote, based on the nameplate of your machine.
