The invention relates to a powered turret for directly driving a cutter head through a torque motor, which relates to a turret of a horizontal-type compound turning and milling center. The powered turret comprises a cutter head, a main-shaft motor, a core shaft, a guide pin, an inner tooth disk, an outer tooth disk, a lateral tooth disk, a tooth-disk seat and a cutter-head driving inner sleeve, wherein the cutter-head driving inner sleeve is installed at the outer part of the core shaft, the tooth-disk seat is installed at the front part of the cutter-head driving inner sleeve, the guide pin, the lateral tooth disk, the outer tooth disk and the inner tooth disk are sequentially installed on the tooth-disk seat, the front end of the core shaft is connected with the main-shaft motor through a bolt, and the cutter head is respectively connected with the inner tooth disk and the cutter-head driving inner sleeve through bolts; the powered turret has the structure that a power device and a rotating-angle detecting device are installed at the rear part of the cutter-head driving inner sleeve; a box body is installed at the outer part of the power device; a core-shaft fixed supporting seat is installed at the rear part of the core shaft and is fixed through a locknut, and meanwhile, the core-shaft fixed supporting seat is fixedly arranged on the box body through bolts. The powered turret has the characteristics that the powered turret has the advantages of novel structure, convenience in machining, small size and large torque, the precision is improved, the machining cost is lowered, the maintenance cost is lowered, and the like.
