ISO 9270-2:2010

Overview

ISO 9270-2:2010 defines the dimensions and tolerances for 7/24 taper spindle noses with tenons used in automatic tool changers, specifically spindle-nose forms J and JF. The standard provides millimetre-based dimensional tables, geometry rules and designation rules to ensure interchangeability with corresponding tool shanks of forms J, JD and JF as specified in ISO 7388-2.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and sizing: Covers 7/24 taper spindle noses intended for tool shank sizes (shank numbers) used in automatic tool changers; detailed dimensional tables (d, l, tenon dimensions) are given for each size.
• Tolerancing and units: All dimensions in millimetres; tolerancing principles follow ISO 8015. Unspecified tolerances default to ISO 2768-1 (linear/angular) and ISO 2768-2 (geometrical).
• Thread and fastener specifications: Thread forms and limits reference ISO 68-1 and ISO 965-2; fixing screws conform to ISO 898-1 (mechanical properties) and ISO 4762 (hexagon socket head cap screws).
• Tenon and assembly details: Tenon dimensions, slot fits and fixing-screw recommendations are specified to guarantee secure clamping and correct location (tables and figures illustrate these features).
• Form JF (coolant option): The JF variant allows two holes in the spindle face for inner coolant supply; the standard supplies dimensions for these holes as supplementary data.
• Materials and treatment: Spindle noses shall be heat treated with suitable strength, hardness, toughness and wear-resistance considerations.

Applications and who uses this standard

ISO 9270-2 is essential for:

• Machine tool and spindle manufacturers designing automatic tool changers and spindles to ensure tool interchangeability.
• Tooling and holder suppliers producing tool shanks (per ISO 7388-2) and tenons compatible with spindle noses of forms J/JF.
• CNC machine integrators and maintenance engineers specifying replacement spindle noses, retention hardware and coolant provisions.
• Quality and inspection teams verifying dimensional compliance, tolerances and thread/fastener conformance. Benefits include consistent tool interface, reliable automated tool changes, improved uptime, and simplified procurement through standard designation (example: “Spindle nose ISO 9270-2 – J40”).
