REVOLVING CENTER

Product Description

A TURNMAX Revolving Center (also known as a live center) is a precision lathe accessory manufactured by Turnmax Machine Tools, a leading Indian company in this product category. Its primary function is to support the free end of a workpiece on a lathe, allowing it to be turned at high speeds without the friction and wear associated with a stationary dead center.

Key Features and Design

• Precision and High-Speed Operation: TURNMAX revolving centers are engineered for high-speed applications, particularly on CNC and other high-speed lathes. They are designed to withstand high RPMs and heavy loads, providing a stable support system for the workpiece.

• Robust Bearing System: The center's ability to revolve smoothly is thanks to its internal bearing system. Turnmax uses high-quality bearings, often from German or Japanese manufacturers, which are capable of withstanding significant radial and axial loads.

• Durable Construction: The body and point of the revolving center are made from high-quality, hardened alloy steel, ensuring long-term durability and wear resistance. The shank, which fits into the machine's tailstock, is ground to precise Morse Taper (MT) specifications (e.g., MT2, MT3, MT4, MT5, MT6) for a secure fit.

  
  

• Protection against Contaminants: Many models feature oil seals or other protective mechanisms to prevent coolant, chips, and dirt from entering the bearing assembly, which extends the life and maintains the precision of the center.

• Versatile Models: TURNMAX offers a wide range of revolving centers, including standard, heavy-duty "R" models, pipe centers for hollow workpieces, and stub-type points, catering to various machining requirements.
