Value Collection AL-500PY Power Feed 780 In/lb Y-axis

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION AL-500PY is a Y-axis cross feed power feed unit designed for milling machines. It delivers a maximum continuous torque of 780 inch-pounds and a maximum peak torque of 780 inch-pounds, providing consistent, controlled table movement during milling operations. The unit operates on 110 volts and draws 1.0 amp during normal use. Feed rate is adjustable from 1 to 32 inches per minute, with a traversing speed of 160 inches per minute for rapid positioning. Installed by machinists and tool-room technicians, this power feed replaces manual handwheel operation on the cross-slide axis, improving repeatability and reducing operator fatigue during extended cuts.

The AL-500PY is suited for use on standard knee mills and vertical milling machines requiring motorized Y-axis cross feed. It is appropriate for both light production and job-shop environments where consistent feed rates are required across varying material types and cutting conditions. The unit mounts to the Y-axis of compatible milling machines and connects to a standard 110-volt outlet, making it practical for most shop installations without dedicated wiring.

Key Features

• 780 inch-pound maximum continuous torque for reliable table drive under load
• 780 inch-pound maximum peak torque handles momentary resistance without stalling
• Feed rate adjustable from 1 to 32 inches per minute for precise material removal control
• 160 inches per minute traversing speed for fast repositioning between cuts
• 110-volt operation compatible with standard shop power circuits at 1.0 amp draw
• Y-axis cross feed configuration for motorized saddle movement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade power feed for Y-axis cross feed applications on standard vertical knee-style milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with milling machine drive systems. Disconnect and lock out all power to the milling machine before beginning installation or removal of the existing handwheel assembly. Verify that the machine leadscrew end configuration matches the mounting requirements of the AL-500PY before proceeding. Consult the manufacturer documentation for mounting hardware torque procedures and electrical connection guidance.
