Price estimate
We do not have a price for the AWEA LP-4025YZF that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
Choosing the spindle is most of the specification work on an AWEA LP-4025YZF. The frame is fixed: 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X, 3,200 mm (126.0 in) of Y, 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of Z, a 4,020 x 2,400 mm (158.3 x 94.5 in) table for 15,000 kg (33,069 lb). What sits in the head is not, and the table lists three spindle families for this model.
The standard one is the 4,000 rpm gear spindle. AWEA gives it 977 N-m at 254 rpm with the 26 kW motor, and describes a floating hydraulic tool release that keeps the unclamping force off the spindle bearing. Next come the built-in motorized spindles of 6,000 / 8,000 rpm, stated at 600 N-m at 350 rpm. Last are the direct drive spindles of 8,000 / 10,000 rpm at 165 N-m at 1,500 rpm, where the motor's heat is kept apart from the spindle.
Read those three torque figures together. The gear spindle is for steel and cast iron with large cutters. The built-in units keep most of the torque and add speed. The direct drive units are finishing spindles, and only with them does AWEA offer roller type linear guide ways on Z in place of the box way.
Motor rating is 22 / 26 kW (30 / 35 HP) and the taper is BT50, with DIN69871-A optional. X and Y rapid at 15,000 mm/min (591 ipm) and Z at 10,000 mm/min (394 ipm). Nose-to-table distance is 200 ~ 1,200 mm (7.9 ~ 47.2 in), and the machine weighs 44,000 kg (97,002 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Three spindle families listed: 4,000 rpm gear (standard), built-in 6,000 / 8,000 rpm and direct drive 8,000 / 10,000 rpm
- 977 N-m at 254 rpm from the standard high torque spindle, per AWEA
- 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of Z travel over a table that carries 15,000 kg (33,069 lb)
- Floating type hydraulic tool release takes the pressure off the spindle bearing
- Cutting feed range of 1 ~ 10,000 mm/min (0.04 ~ 394 ipm), which the LP-5025YZF halves at its upper end
Limitations
- The standard spindle stops at 4,000 rpm; anything faster is an option
- Direct drive spindles are stated at 165 N-m at 1,500 rpm, far below the gear spindle's torque
- Z rapid traverse is 10,000 mm/min (394 ipm), slower than X and Y
- 44,000 kg (97,002 lb), against 41,000 kg (90,388 lb) for the LP-4025YF with the shorter Z

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table lists a 4,000 rpm spindle as standard, built-in spindles of 6,000 / 8,000 rpm as options and direct drive spindles of 8,000 / 10,000 rpm as options. All use the 22 / 26 kW (30 / 35 HP) motor rating shown for the model. The taper is BT50 (ISO50), with DIN69871-A available.
02
Torque and where the motor sits. AWEA states 600 N-m at 350 rpm for the built-in motorized spindles and 165 N-m at 1,500 rpm for the direct drive spindles. The built-in units keep the motor inside the spindle, while the direct drive design separates the motor's heat from the spindle to reduce deformation.
03
Width. The LP-4033YZF has 3,900 mm (153.5 in) of Y travel and 3,500 mm (137.8 in) between the columns and weighs 46,000 kg (101,411 lb). The LP-4025YZF has 3,200 mm (126.0 in) of Y, 2,700 mm (106.3 in) between the columns and weighs 44,000 kg (97,002 lb). Both are rated for 15,000 kg (33,069 lb) on the table and have 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of Z.
04
Yes. AWEA describes the high torque gear spindle as having a 2-speed super heavy-duty gear box. The 4,000 rpm version is stated to deliver its maximum of 977 N-m at 254 rpm, which is why it is the standard choice on the YZF machines with their longer Z stroke.
05
± 0.003 mm under the JIS standard and Ps ≤ 0.025 mm under the VDI standard. Positioning accuracy is ± 0.015 mm over full travel under JIS and P ≤ 0.030 mm over full travel under VDI.
