Revolving live centers are a device that rotates with the workpiece in the machine during machining operations. It is used to support the heavy part ofthe workpiece to rotate faster and provide efficient cutting.
Features :
- Point types extended, profiled, and stud
- Available MT Type - MT3, MT4, MT5
- There are three categories available - Integral Model, Interchangeable Model, Slimline Model.
- Reduce friction wear
- More robust cutting
- High precision and surface quality
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a revolving (live) center?
A revolving live center is a center with bearings so the tip will rotate together with the workpiece. It is mounted in the tailstock of a lathe and gives support and even rotation during high-speed operations.
2. What materials are live and dead centers made from?
Dead and live centers are constructed using hard steel or HSS for longevity and wear and damage resistance. Tips are hardened through tempering for extended life up to 60–64 HRC. Carbide tips can be used in some models to ensure high precision and durability.
3. When should you use a dead center?
A dead center is employed in slow and precise work where a small motion at the point of contact is desired. It does not rotate, so it creates friction, and lubrication must be applied. It is frequently employed on the hand lathe's headstock and gives firm support for grinding, fine turning, and precise alignment, but not for high-speed machining.
4. When is a revolving (live) center used?
A live center is utilized in the tailstock of lathes, particularly CNC machines, to assist in supporting turning workpieces when rotating at high speed. It contains inner bearings that allow the tip to rotate with the part, reducing wear, heat, and friction. It assists in giving greater support, precision, and smooth operation.
5. How to choose the right Live Center?
Select based on load capacity, speed, and taper size. Proper selection ensures better performance and safety. For further guidance, contact us at +91 9099600730, +91 7567975718 or email store@accufixtools.com, sales@accufixtools.com.
6. What are the advantages of Revolving Live Centers?
They reduce friction, improve surface finish, and increase tool life. Ideal for high-speed and precision turning.
7. Can Live Centers handle heavy loads?
Yes, heavy-duty live centers are designed for high load capacity. Choose the right type for your application.
8. How to maintain Revolving Live Centers?
Keep them clean, lubricate bearings, and check for wear. Proper maintenance ensures long service life.
