Description

Widin Live Centre - Standard Lathe - NCB Type - No. 3 is a precision live center designed for NC turning on standard lathes. Morse tapers No. 3 and No. 6 are available to fit a wide range of machines, delivering reliable center support where tight tolerances matter. It is sealed to prevent the inflow of cutting oils and foreign substances, helping keep bearings clean and maintenance low.

High-precision rotational accuracy and durability come from a triplex bearing structure, while the shaft is heat-treated to 58–62 HRC. This combination delivers consistent performance under demanding turning tasks and maintains tight concentricity, with a run-out specification of 0.00012" (0.003 mm).

  • Sealed to prevent oil and contaminant ingress: The integrated seal blocks cutting oils and debris from reaching the bearings, reducing wear and downtime while preserving smooth operation.
  • Triplex bearing structure for precision and durability: A three-bearing arrangement provides stable support, minimizes runout, and resists vibration during heavy turning or high-speed work, delivering consistent results.
  • Hard shaft with ultra-low runout: Hardened to 58–62 HRC with run-out of 0.00012" (0.003 mm), ensuring long-term accuracy and superior surface finish on demanding parts.

Choosing the Widin Live Centre means dependable center support that helps maintain concentricity, reduce scrap, and improve finish quality across a range of turning applications. The sealed design lowers maintenance needs, the triplex bearings sustain consistent performance, and the hardened shaft preserves precision through tough jobs. This combination supports faster setups, fewer recalibrations, and reliable results in everyday machining workflows.
