ČSN 24 3324

Precision live centers with crest angle 60°

  • Special seals prevent the ingress of process liquid and dust particles.
  • Possibility to use the live centers on grinders.

Technical details of the product

 

The live centers are designed for workpieces clamping on lathes. Alternatively - for work on grinders, especially when grinding of heavy workpieces.

 

The construction is characterized by a small diameter of the head Ø D, allowing easy access of the tool to the workpiece. For live centers with a Morse taper 2 ÷ 6 is the clearance adjustment in the front radial bearing very advantageous. The MT 1 live center is of a different construction and is designed for very light workpieces clamping - therefore we do not state the permissible load of this product. The live centers are equipped with a shank with a MORSE taper according to ČSN standard ISO 296..

Technical details of the product

Technical details of the instert

 

Live centers with replaceable inserts are designed for work on lathes. Their design allows universal use in a various piece production and a wide range of workpieces.

 

Depending on the replaceable insert used - the workpieces can be clamped in a 60 ° centering hole or workpieces with a 60 ° rotating taper support cone or for example parts without a drilled hole on the surface, tubes at the inside diameter etc. The rotating part of the live center is closed by a conical cavity which enables clamping of various inserts in the shape of "a ÷ g" as required. The inserts must be pressed into the cavity with a clamping force (by tailstock). The insert is removed out with the ejecting fork (h).The live centers are provided with a Morse taper shanks according to ČSN standard ISO 296.
