How much does the JTEKT FH800SX-i cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the JTEKT FH800SX-i 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
The JTEKT FH800SX-i is a CAT50 horizontal machining center on a 31.50 x 31.50 in (800 x 800 mm) pallet, and its travels are long for that pallet: 57.09 in (1,450 mm) in X, 49.21 in (1,250 mm) in Y and 61.02 in (1,550 mm) in Z. The pallet carries 5,500 lb (2,500 kg).
Z is the longest axis. That is not common on a horizontal, and it has a practical use. A part can swing to the full 59.05 in (1,500 mm) diameter and the table still has room to back away for a long boring bar or an angle head. Maximum workpiece height is also 59.05 in (1,500 mm), so the working space is close to a cylinder as tall as it is wide.
Two spindle speeds appear in the table, 8,000 and 15,000 RPM, with one torque figure, 887 ft-lb (1,202 Nm). JTEKT states that the 8,000 RPM spindle is the standard configuration and the 15,000 RPM spindle an option. The 8,000 RPM unit uses a dual cylindrical roller bearing with a 110mm bearing inner diameter; the 15,000 RPM unit has four front spindle bearings, variable hydraulic preload and a 120mm bearing inner diameter. The table does not tie the torque figure to either one, so settle that before choosing.
The structure follows from the travels. Y and Z are each driven by dual ballscrews, the base is Meehanite cast iron, and the spindle carriage rides on six guide trucks. Rapid feedrate is 2,126 ipm (54 m/min), a step below the 2,362 ipm (60 m/min) of the smaller FH5500SX-i, which is the cost of moving a bigger column and table. Tool storage runs 60, 121, 240 or 330.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 61.02 in (1,550 mm) of Z travel, longer than the 57.09 in (1,450 mm) X axis, for deep boring on large parts
- 5,500 lb (2,500 kg) pallet load on a 31.50 x 31.50 in (800 x 800 mm) pallet
- Workpieces up to 59.05 in (1,500 mm) in both swing and height
- 887 ft-lb (1,202 Nm) of spindle torque on a CAT50 taper
- Dual ballscrew drives on the Y-Axis and Z-Axis and a Meehanite cast iron base
- Tool storage of 60, 121, 240 or 330
Limitations
- The 15,000 RPM spindle is an option; the standard configuration is 8,000 RPM
- One torque figure is listed for two spindles, and spindle power is not in the table
- Rapid feedrate is 2,126 ipm (54 m/min), slower than the 2,362 ipm (60 m/min) of the FH5500SX-i
- Parts over 5,500 lb (2,500 kg) with fixture need the FH1000SX, which lists 6,600 lb (3,000 kg)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The maximum workpiece swing is 59.05 in (1,500 mm) and the maximum workpiece height is 59.05 in (1,500 mm), on a 31.50 x 31.50 in (800 x 800 mm) pallet. Maximum load on the pallet is 5,500 lb (2,500 kg). Travels are 57.09 in (1,450 mm) in X, 49.21 in (1,250 mm) in Y and 61.02 in (1,550 mm) in Z.
02
JTEKT states that the standard configuration has the 8,000 RPM spindle and that a 15,000 RPM spindle is available as an option. The 8,000 RPM spindle is described with a dual cylindrical roller bearing and a 110mm bearing inner diameter, the 15,000 RPM spindle with four front bearings, variable hydraulic preload and a 120mm bearing inner diameter. Both have a removable spindle taper design.
03
The table gives 887 ft-lb (1,202 Nm) on a CAT50 taper. It lists that single figure beside two spindle speeds, 8,000 and 15,000 RPM, and does not say which spindle it describes. Spindle power is not listed either. Ask for the curve of the spindle being quoted.
04
The FH1000SX is the next size up, with a 39.37 x 31.5 in (1,000 x 800 mm) pallet and 72.83 in (1,850 mm) of Z travel, against 31.50 x 31.50 in (800 x 800 mm) and 61.02 in (1,550 mm) on the FH800SX-i. Both tables list 887 ft-lb (1,202 Nm) of torque and a rapid feedrate of 2,126 ipm (54 m/min).
