Heavy Duty Spring-Loaded Live Center



This live center from Riten Industries is capable of adjusting the load on the workpiece. Utilizing Bellville washers, it automatically compensates for thermal expansion. Three color-coded rings illustrate the pounds of axial force that is being applied. "This is beneficial when the tailstock on the lathe or grinder cannot display the required clamping pressure for accurate machining," said a company spokesperson.

The center is offered in 3 to 6 Morse taper, in standard and tracer point. Maximum axial loads range from 1,150 to 5,600 lbs. RPM up to 4,000, and weight of workpiece up to 7,600 lbs. Accuracy guaranteed to ± .0001.
