Tacchella spindle and motor spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specialising in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of Tacchella grinding spindles and motor spindles — a historic Italian builder of external and internal cylindrical grinders, recognised for the reliability and longevity of its machines.
Tacchella, Italian reference in precision cylindrical grinding
TLDR: Tacchella (Italy) is a historic builder of CNC cylindrical grinders for external and internal operations, with a range covering conventional models and the Elektra series of CNC grinders, known for their long-term reliability and the serviceability of their critical components.
Built on several decades of experience, Tacchella design puts the emphasis on long-term reliability: critical components (wheel spindles, motors, electronics) are sized to last and to remain easy to service. The range covers conventional manually operated cylindrical grinders (A and 612UN series), as well as the Elektra series of CNC grinders (Elektra EVO, Elektra UA), fitted with swivelling wheelheads on a numerically controlled B axis, able to carry two external wheels of different grit and an additional spindle for an internal wheel. On historic models, a retrofit remains possible — for example installing a modern CNC control on the robust bed of an older Tacchella.
A range of external and internal grinding spindles, up to 11 kW
TLDR: Tacchella grinders use an external wheel spindle of up to 11 kW, with rotation speeds typically between 1,640 and 2,000 rpm, paired on some models with a complementary lower-power internal spindle for ground boring operations.
Tacchella cylindrical grinders use a wheelhead with an external spindle whose power ranges from 4 to 11 kW depending on the model, for rotation speeds typically between 1,640 and 2,000 rpm. On configurations dedicated to internal grinding, an additional lower-power spindle (around 1.1 kW) works alongside the external spindle for precision boring operations, with internal diameter capacities from 10 to 270 mm depending on the machine. On the most advanced Elektra series CNC grinders, the swivelling B-axis wheelhead can carry two distinct external wheels, with an automated turret of high resolution (0.0001°).

Interfaces and specifications
The Tacchella grinding spindles we repair have power ratings typically between 4 and 11 kW for the external spindle, with rotation speeds of 1,640 to 2,000 rpm, and complementary internal spindles of around 1.1 kW — specifications to be confirmed on quotation according to the exact reference of your machine.

Frequently asked questions
Do you repair the external and internal wheel spindles of swivelling wheelheads?
Yes, we work on both spindles, taking into account their synchronisation on the B axis.
Do you work on historic Tacchella grinders without CNC?
Yes, we diagnose and repair the spindles whatever the age of the machine.
What is the average lead time for a full overhaul?
Allow around 20 working days in the workshop, depending on the condition of the spindle and the availability of parts (bearings, seals, specific components).
Do you work on Elektra series grinders fitted with two external wheels?
Yes, we diagnose and repair the spindles of these twin-wheel configurations.
Do you offer a preventive maintenance contract for a fleet of Tacchella machines?
Yes, we draw up preventive maintenance programmes tailored to how critical this equipment is.
