Key design feature: the max spindle-table distance of 690 mm and spindle-base distance of 1,170 mm are significantly higher than BM Vario bench drills (440 \/ 630 mm respectively): the SBM is dimensioned for workpieces up to 690 mm high placed on the table, or workpieces up to 1,170 mm placed directly on the base. Continuously adjustable speed from 400-1,950 rpm: for applications with variable diameter tools, the Vario system is functionally superior to stepped systems. The digital speed and spindle travel display + cross-laser device for centering are included as standard, as in BM Vario models. The SBM is preferable to the BM Vario for: large workpieces that cannot be placed on the table of a compact bench drill, applications with tall welded structures or bulky frames, drilling large diameter cylindrical workpieces that require greater vertical space. Typical application sectors: metalworking with medium welded structures, mechanical assembly workshops with large frames, prototyping laboratories for bulky workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIts place in the Bernardo range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bernardo range of bench and pillar drills is organized into 6 main sub-families: \u003cstrong\u003eTB\u003c\/strong\u003e (TB 14\/16\/20 T) entry-level with fixed B16 taper or MT 2 and stepped speeds; \u003cstrong\u003eBM T\u003c\/strong\u003e (BM 20\/25 T) intermediate with digital spindle travel display and stepped speeds; \u003cstrong\u003eBM Vario\u003c\/strong\u003e (BM 16\/20 Vario) intermediate with continuously adjustable speed + centering laser; \u003cstrong\u003eSBM Vario\u003c\/strong\u003e (SBM 16\/20 Vario) pillar drill with greater height than BM Vario; \u003cstrong\u003eB 430 Vario\u003c\/strong\u003e medium-heavy pillar drill with 360° swiveling table and MT 3 spindle; \u003cstrong\u003eSB 30 Profi\u003c\/strong\u003e heavy pillar drill with 2-stage power motor, Ø 32 mm capacity.

For tall workpieces that cannot be placed on the BM Vario table, the SBM is the correct choice. For standard workpieces (height below 440 mm), the BM Vario is economically preferable (weight 46-57 kg vs 57-68 kg for the SBM). For higher capacities (Ø 25 mm), the B 430 Vario or SB 30 Profi models from the heavy pillar range are correctly dimensioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLogistics and Krollit support\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBernardo shipping in 5-9 working days (7 days for Southern Italy).

Vario?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SBM has a spindle-table distance of 690 mm and a spindle-base distance of 1,170 mm, vs 440\/630 mm for the BM Vario. For tall workpieces that cannot be placed on the BM Vario table, the SBM is the correct choice. Same electronics (Vario display, centering laser).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SBM is structured as a pillar drill (tall vertical structure) vs the bench-mounted BM (compact structure). Other technical characteristics (drilling capacity, motor, chuck, table) are comparable between models of similar capacity. For workshops primarily drilling standard workpieces under 440 mm, the corresponding BM Vario is economically preferable with similar performance and a more compact structure (weight 46-57 kg vs 57-68 kg, lower price). For workshops with tall workpieces, the SBM is correctly dimensioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs the pillar structure more stable than the bench drill?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, marginally. The Ø 72 mm vertical column and weight of 57-68 kg offer slightly higher stability than the bench-mounted BM (weight 46-57 kg). For applications with heavy drilling (Ø 18-20 mm on steel), higher stability reduces spindle vibrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor standard applications (drilling Ø below 12 mm on mild steel), the difference in stability is marginal. For heavy industrial applications requiring higher stability, the B 430 Vario (column Ø 80 mm, weight 100 kg) or SB 30 Profi (column Ø 100 mm, weight 245 kg) models are correctly dimensioned. For series production with heavy workpieces, structural stability is a decisive characteristic for hole quality and tool life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes the Vario system require special maintenance?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, periodic. The electronic variator requires annual contact inspection, and the variable diameter pulleys (Reeves system) require lubrication of the opening mechanism every 500 operating hours. Typical Vario belt replacement every 2-4 years in normal use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLubrication procedure: open the transmission cover, apply specific lithium grease for pulleys to the opening\/closing mechanisms of the pulleys, manually rotate the speed adjustment knob to distribute the grease. Vario belts are of a special type (wider and more flexible than standard belts) to allow for variable diameter: original Bernardo spare parts available from stock with shipping in 3-5 working days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I use the SBM Vario for tapping?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly if it has R\/L rotation (some models). The SBM 20 Vario 400V has dedicated right\/left rotation; the standard SBM 16 Vario does not. For tapping with a tap, R\/L rotation is necessary for automatic tap ejection from the hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor occasional tapping on SBM Vario without R\/L, it is possible to use hand taps (only require stationary spindle guidance): less precise but sufficient for occasional applications. For precision tapping on steel, R\/L rotation is a decisive characteristic: manual rotation of the stationary spindle causes uneven tap torsion (risk of thread breakage). For frequent M tapping, the SB 30 Profi is correctly dimensioned with R\/L rotation and higher capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes the SBM have a 360° swiveling table?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The SBM table is only inclinable ±45° (like BM\/TB). For a table that swivels 360° around the column, the B 430 Vario is correctly dimensioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 360° swiveling table allows workpiece positioning at any angle: a decisive characteristic for angled drilling on cylindrical workpieces, radial holes on flanges, prototyping operations with non-standard angles. For standard applications with vertical or ±45° angled holes, inclinable-only tables are sufficient. For applications with complex angles, the B 430 Vario is the correct choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Bernardo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50696651866440,"sku":"01-1129","price":672.02,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/2139\/0920\/files\/Trapano_a_colonna_Bernardo_SBM_16_Vario_400_V_con_display_digitale.jpg?v=1758011758","url":"https:\/\/www.krollit.com\/products\/bernardo-drills-sbm-16-vario-400v","provider":"Krollit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
