How much does the EMAG CLC 500 H cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc gear cutting machine in this class — not a quote from EMAG. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The EMAG CLC 500 H is the large size of EMAG's horizontal CLC H gear cutting range, built for workpieces up to 500 mm (19.5 in) across. That figure is the upper half of the series row "260 / 500 mm (10 / 19.5 in)"; the lower half belongs to the CLC 260 H, which is covered by the same table.
Because one table serves both sizes, most of what it says about the 500 is shared. Workpiece length is listed as 1,800 / 2,300 / 3,200 mm (71 / 90.5 / 126 in). The longest of these, 3,200 mm (126 in), is the obvious reason to look at a horizontal machine of this class, but EMAG's table does not confirm that it applies to this size rather than to the series in general. The module row is listed as 6 / 30 mm and is equally unassigned. Settle both points with EMAG before a part drawing is matched to the machine.
The CLC 500 H-FR sits on the same 500 mm (19.5 in) diameter but is described quite differently: 2,500 mm (98.5 in) of workpiece length, carbide insert milling cutters up to 350 mm (14 in) and a maximum profile height of 75 mm (3 in). The CLC 500 H table lists none of those cutter figures. What it does state is a horizontal configuration with hand-scraped tangential axes, and no spindle, power or control data.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Takes workpieces up to 500 mm (19.5 in) in diameter, the larger size in the CLC H series
- Series workpiece lengths run to 3,200 mm (126 in), with 1,800 mm (71 in) and 2,300 mm (90.5 in) also listed
- Horizontal configuration with hand-scraped tangential axes
Limitations
- Length and module figures are given for the CLC H series as a whole, so which apply to the 500 size has to be confirmed
- The table lists no spindle data, drive power, control or accuracy for this model
- Unlike the CLC 500 H-FR, no cutter diameter or profile height is stated

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Up to 500 mm (19.5 in) in diameter. For length the CLC H series table lists 1,800 / 2,300 / 3,200 mm (71 / 90.5 / 126 in) without assigning them to a size, so confirm the length of the machine you are quoted.
02
They are described differently. The CLC 500 H-FR table gives 2,500 mm (98.5 in) of workpiece length, 2,000 (3,000) mm of axial travel, carbide insert milling cutters up to 350 mm (14 in) and a 75 mm (3 in) profile height. The CLC 500 H table lists a horizontal layout, hand-scraped tangential axes and the series diameter and length rows, with no cutter data.
03
The series table lists the module as 6 / 30 mm. It does not say whether that is a range or one figure per size, so the module limit of the 500 version has to be confirmed with EMAG.
