Who is HSD and what does it make?
HSD Mechatronics is an Italian manufacturer of electrospindles for CNC machining machines, with origins in Gradara, Italy. The company designs machining heads and electrospindles for milling, drilling and machining machines for metal, stone, composite materials and automotive components. From the HSD range we can quote, on order, electrospindles and machining heads for CNC machine integrators and fine-mechanics workshops.
The range includes models such as ES1000, for vertical machining centres for metal, ES1020, ES505 for the automotive sector and ES920 for composite material applications, plus the HST610 DS head, available in a single-axis or two-axis version. Production is certified ISO 9001:2015 — held by the plant since 1996 — plus ISO 14001:2015 for the environment and ISO 45001:2018 for occupational health and safety, a level of certification relevant for customers who require quality traceability on machining equipment.
For the Romanian market, HSD makes sense for the retrofit or completion of existing CNC machines, where the original electrospindle has worn out or where a machine-tool integrator needs a machining head compatible with a specific application — metal, stone, composite or automotive.

How do we supply HSD in Romania?
For HSD, we confirm exact availability in the quotation — the technical information comes from the manufacturer's technical documentation, and exact availability is confirmed case by case, per order. We bring in HSD electrospindles on order, through supply channels in the EU, usually in 1–4 weeks from confirmation of the specifications, without permanent availability for every model. For an accurate quotation, send us the exact model of the electrospindle or, if you do not know it, the machine it is mounted on and the application (metal, composite, automotive). We do not publish a price list; quotations follow a case-by-case availability check with the supplier.
Service during the manufacturer's warranty period for HSD electrospindles stays with the manufacturer and its service centres.
Frequently asked questions about HSD
What is an ES1000 electrospindle from HSD?
ES1000 belongs to the HSD family of ATC electrospindles, dedicated to vertical machining centres for metal machining. The electrospindle integrates the automatic tool change system, which reduces idle time in series production. The choice between the models in the ES range depends on the maximum speed required and the type of material machined.
What is the difference between the ES505 and ES920 electrospindles?
ES505 is oriented to automotive industry applications, especially aluminium machining on machining centres with 4–5 axes, where the combination of power and compact size matters, while ES920 is a low-power electrospindle (1.1 or 2.2 kW), for composite materials and wood. The two differ in power, speed and cooling; the exact data is confirmed from the data sheet of each model.
Do you supply HSD electrospindles in Romania?
Yes, we bring in on order the HSD electrospindles shown on the product pages; delivery usually takes 1–4 weeks from order confirmation, depending on the complexity of the electrospindle. We do not keep these components on the shelf, and the information on codes comes from the manufacturer's documentation, without internal data on availability. Please send the exact code of the electrospindle and the series of the machine it will be mounted on.
What does the DS suffix mean on the HST610 DS model?
The exact meaning of the DS suffix and the technical details of the HST610 DS head, such as working angles or drive type, are confirmed in the manufacturer's data sheet. We recommend checking compatibility with the existing machine before sending the quotation request.
How do I request a HSD quotation?
Send the HSD code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
