Description

The Widin Live Centre No.5 is a heavy‑duty live center designed for lathes that demand stability under weight and precision in long runs. This Nut Type – Live Center uses an NKN configuration and supports Morse tapers No.3 and No.7, making it compatible with a wide range of machines and setups.

Sealed to prevent the inflow of cutting oils and foreign substances, it helps keep bearings clean and running smoothly. The shaft is hardened to 58–62 HRC, and taper roller bearings contribute to a longer service life with reliable, smooth operation even under demanding workloads. Precision is exceptional, with runout measured at 0.00012" (0.003 mm).

  • Sealed design for oil and contaminant protection: Keeps the bearing area clean and reduces wear, improving longevity and reducing maintenance downtime.
  • High-performance taper roller bearings: Deliver durable support under heavy loads for longer life and dependable, smooth turning in tough applications.
  • Ultra-low runout for precise results: 0.00012" (0.003 mm) runout ensures true alignment and consistent part quality across production runs.

This live center helps you maintain true, efficient turning workflows, minimizes setup adjustments, and supports consistent, high-quality results across a range of demanding machining tasks.
