SKODA LC-3 3MT Interchangeable Point Live Center Buy Online

Allow Workpiece to Spin Almost Frictionless With SKODA Precision Heavy-Duty Live Centers. Live centers are well-adapted to hold a workpiece in a lathe or other machine tools, often between the headstock and tailstock. Since they revolve with the work itself, live centers are preferred for most precision operations. LC series of precision heavy-duty live centers from SKODA are excellent for individual production of various workpieces through different insert shafts. LC series comes in Morse Taper size 3, 4 and 5 with 7 types interchangeable insert shafts and disassemble kit. The interchangeable inserts are standard points, bullnose points, long points and female points. Standard points have a constant point angle, while Bull nose points have flat faces. It allows the work piece to sit at least halfway up the point. Long points allow for better tool clearance with a small straight diameter extension near the point. The shell is case hardened, while the spindle is drop-forged and heat-treated for additional strength, rigidity and tool life to support heavy-duty applications such as turning rolls, shafts and forgings. Proper bearing alignment and fit are key factors to provide an accurate live center capable of holding extreme weights. Skoda precision heavy duty live centers are designed for load carrying capabilities that exceed that of typical live centers, ranging from 1,000 to 14,000 pounds. Set of 7 Precision heavy-duty live centers from Skoda is packed in a handsome wooden box for ease of storage and portability. It showcases the premium Czech Republican brand value. In order to determine which live centers from the set of 7 interchangeable SKODA precision heavy-duty live centers is best for the application at hand: Determine the taper of the machine. Most lathes have Morse taper. Determine the weight of the workpieces. Machine tools’ listed “load rating” and the anticipated cutting force, can help to determine this. ·Well-designed load distribution: Axial load distribution through heavy-duty ball bearing, Radial load distribution with adjustable needle roller bearings, and a special compensator spring to absorb thermal expansion and shock loads. ·High-performance lip seal protects bearings from ingress of coolant, dirt, or swarf. ·Oil seal also prevents loss of lubricant. ·Get complete (7) interchangeable points all packed in a sturdy wooden case, ensuring convenience of storage and easy portability.
