Description
Widin Live Centre is a high‑speed rotational live center designed for precision turning and demanding machining tasks. This carbide‑tipped, nut‑type SMBCN unit helps minimize bite interference while delivering reliable performance across a range of machines. Morse tapers are available for flexible installation: No. 3 and No. 5, making it suitable for both compact and larger turning centers.
Built for durability at speed, it uses special bearings engineered for high‑speed rotation, delivering smooth, stable operation with minimal vibration. The ultra‑tight runout specification (0.00012" or 0.003 mm) helps you achieve true concentricity and repeatable results on every part.
- Ultra-low runout for precise turning: Achieve true concentricity with runout as low as 0.00012" (0.003 mm), reducing misalignment and finishing passes.
- Carbide‑tipped point for durability and bite control: The carbide tip withstands higher speeds and minimizes bite interference for cleaner, more consistent finishes.
- Versatile Morse taper options and robust bearings: No. 3 and No. 5 Morse tapers provide flexible mounting, while special bearings support reliable high‑speed rotation and long service life.
Together, these features translate to faster setups, fewer adjustments, and consistently high-quality results across a wide range of turning applications. The Widin Live Centre helps you maximize productivity while maintaining tight tolerances and smooth finishes, giving you confidence in every part you produce.
