Coolant-Through 90° Right Angle Head (DK90-BT50-ER25-Z80)

Coolant-Through 90° Right Angle Head (DK90-BT50-ER25-Z80)

The DK90-BT50-ER25-Z80 is a heavy-duty, internal coolant-through-spindle (CTS) 90-degree right angle head engineered for high-efficiency side drilling, deep-hole slotting, and heavy milling on BT50 vertical machining centers (VMC) and horizontal machining centers (HMC). Capable of withstanding internal coolant pressure up to 20 bar (290 PSI), this attachment delivers high-pressure cutting fluid directly through the ER25 tool nose, flushing chips out of deep cavities while cooling the cutting edge.


Featuring a Gage Length of 80 mm and a heavy-wall QT500-7 ductile iron housing, the DK90-BT50-ER25-Z80 transmits up to 46.0 Nm of cutting torque at speeds up to 6,800 RPM. It provides thermal stability and tool longevity during continuous machining of stainless steel, forged steel dies, and aerospace alloys.


Key Technical Features and Material Standards

  • 20 bar High-Pressure Internal Coolant System (CTS): Equipped with specialized high-pressure rotary seals and dual-lip fluororubber (FKM) sealing technology capable of handling up to 20 bar (290 PSI) through-spindle coolant. High-pressure fluid is delivered through the center of the tool to prevent thermal shock and extend carbide insert life in deep cavities.
  • Heavy-Wall QT500-7 Ductile Iron Casing: Cast from heavy-wall QT500-7 Ductile Cast Iron and subjected to artificial aging and cryogenic stress relief. The rigid body housing minimizes deflection under heavy radial cutting forces and internal hydraulic pressure.
  • Gleason Precision Ground Bevel Gears: Internal drive utilizes Gleason ground spiral bevel gears in 20CrMnTi Alloy Steel. Carburized and quenched to HRC 58-62 and ground to ISO Grade 4 precision, ensuring gear transmission backlash ≤ 15 arcmin and noise ≤ 70 dB under full load.
  • P4 Class Preloaded Spindle Bearings: Supported by preloaded angular contact ball bearings (NSK/FAG) rated for P4 precision, maintaining spindle mouth runout ≤ 0.005 mm and rotational concentricity up to 6,800 RPM.

Quality Assurance and Testing Standards

Before dispatch, every DK90-BT50-ER25-Z80 internal coolant angle head undergoes a 100% Quality Inspection Protocol:

  • 20 bar High-Pressure Coolant Seal Test: Subjected to a continuous 20 bar (290 PSI) through-spindle liquid pressure test for 30 minutes to ensure zero coolant leakage into the internal gear and bearing chamber.
  • Static and Dynamic Runout Test: Measured with a dial indicator and held to ≤ 0.005 mm at the spindle nose and ≤ 0.015 mm at 4D distance.
  • 60-Minute Continuous Run-In: Tested at 6,800 RPM for 60 continuous minutes. Housing temperature rise must remain ≤ 25°C above ambient temperature.
  • Anti-Backlash Calibration: Verified with angular encoders to confirm transmission backlash remains ≤ 15 arcminutes under rated load.

Target Industries and Industrial Applications

  • Deep Hole Side Drilling & Tapping: High-pressure coolant flushes stringy chips out of deep blind holes, preventing tool breakage when drilling or tapping M6-M14 threads laterally.
  • Stainless Steel & Titanium Structural Parts: Processing heat-resistant superalloys (316L, Inconel, Titanium Ti-6Al-4V) in aerospace and heavy machinery where internal cooling is mandatory to prevent work hardening.
  • Heavy Die & Mold Pocket Milling: Machining deep cooling channels, slider tracks, and internal pockets in hardened steel dies (H13, NAK80, S45C).

  1. Stop Block Mounting: Securely bolt the heavy-duty stop block (retaining block) to the front face of the VMC or HMC machine spindle.
  2. Verify Center Distance (G-Dimension): Confirm that the center-to-center distance between your machine spindle and positioning pin socket matches your ordered G-Distance (commonly 80mm, 110mm, or 135mm on BT50 machines).
  3. Indicate Side Runout: Chuck a ground test arbor into the ER25 collet. Sweeping a dial indicator along the arbor horizontally, adjust the stop block’s locking bolts until parallelism is aligned within 0.015 mm per 100mm.
  4. Confirm Coolant Union Alignment: Verify that the machine’s CTS coolant supply pressure does not exceed 20 bar (290 PSI) and run a low-speed coolant test cycle to verify zero seal leakage before cutting.

Technical FAQ

A: The “Z” designation indicates that the angle head is equipped with an internal coolant-through-spindle (CTS) system. Coolant is fed directly through the BT50 arbor, passes through internal rotary seals, and exits through the ER25 tool nose at pressures up to 20 bar.

A: Operating above the rated 20 bar (290 PSI) pressure limit may cause premature wear on the internal rotary seals or force coolant into the grease-lubricated gear chamber. For ultra-high-pressure coolant systems (70 bar / 1000 PSI), please consult our engineering department for custom high-pressure seal options.

A: Yes. The unit can be operated with standard external flood coolant or dry cutting. However, when operating dry, do not exceed rated RPM (6,800 RPM) to prevent thermal expansion of the internal seals.
