How much does the Nidec Machine Tool MSS300 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Nidec Machine Tool MSS300 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 Nidec Machine Tool MSS300 is a gear skiving machine for workpieces up to 300 mm (11.8 in) in diameter, covering modules from 0.5 to 4.0 mm. Its cutter spindle runs to 6,000 min-1 on 33 kW (44.3 hp) continuous, and the work table turns at up to 3,000 min-1.
Skiving cuts with the tool and the workpiece rotating in step on crossed axes, so both speeds matter, and Nidec Machine Tool publishes both. The cutter head turns ±30° on the A axis, which is the angle that sets the crossing between cutter and gear. A continuous rating of 33 kW (44.3 hp) is a large figure for a machine whose range ends at 4.0 mm module. The power is there for fast stock removal on medium-pitch teeth, since the module limit keeps bigger teeth off the machine.
The MSS300 weighs 18,000 kg (39,683 lb), so floor loading and rigging need planning before it arrives. That is heavier than the ZFA260 gear grinder from the same maker, which is listed at 15,000 kg (33,069 lb). The published table does not state axis travels, cutter size or the control, so those have to come from the quotation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Cutter spindle rated 33 kW (44.3 hp) continuous at up to 6,000 min-1
- Work table speed up to 3,000 min-1, to keep pace with the cutter during skiving
- Covers modules 0.5 to 4.0 mm on workpieces up to 300 mm (11.8 in) in diameter
- Cutter head turns ±30° on the A axis to set the crossed-axis angle
Limitations
- Module range stops at 4.0 mm, so coarser gears are out of range even inside the 300 mm (11.8 in) diameter limit
- At 18,000 kg (39,683 lb) the machine needs a floor and a rigging plan to match
- The published table states no axis travels, cutter dimensions or control

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Nidec Machine Tool lists a maximum workpiece diameter of 300 mm (11.8 in) and a module range of 0.5 to 4.0 mm. A gear has to fall inside both limits, so a small-diameter gear with a module above 4.0 mm is still outside the machine's range.
02
The cutter spindle reaches 6,000 min-1 and the table 3,000 min-1. Spindle power is 33 kW (44.3 hp) continuous. The cutter head can be turned ±30° on the A axis to set the angle between the cutter and the workpiece.
03
Machine weight is 18,000 kg (39,683 lb). For scale, the ZFA260 from the same maker is listed at 15,000 kg (33,069 lb). Check floor capacity, crane or rigging access and the delivery route before ordering.
