TECWERK Live Centre MT2 – 60° point, up to 4,900 rpm

A TECWERK Live Centre MT2 designed to support rotating workpieces on lathes and centres, combining precise radial accuracy with workshop-ready robustness.

• Precise runout ≤ 0.005 mm
• Supports workpieces up to 200 kg
• MT2 taper shank for standard tailstocks
• 60° hardened point for secure centring

Consistent concentricity for accurate turning results

High concentricity reduces scrap and rework. The runout ≤ 0.005 mm ensures that rotational errors are minimised, which directly improves surface finish and dimensional repeatability in turning and grinding operations. By translating the nominal tolerance into practical advantage, the component offers reliable centring for demanding jobs where even small deviations affect downstream assembly or measurement processes. The emphasis on measurable precision supports quality assurance and traceability in production documentation.

Engineered for robust support and stable clamping

A generous support capability yields longer, trouble-free operating cycles. With a rated workpiece mass of 200 kg and a housing diameter of 45 mm, the centre is engineered to absorb radial and axial loads without loss of stability. The 60° point angle provides an optimal contact geometry for general purpose turning and improves load distribution across the workpiece centre. The listed projection of 65 mm gives clear guidance on usable overhang for set-up planning and risk assessment in machining tasks.

Smooth rotation at elevated spindle speeds

Designed for live rotation, the centre is rated to a maximum speed of 4,900 rpm, permitting high-speed finishing and medium-speed roughing where reduced friction and balanced rotation are essential. The tip length 24 mm and balanced construction help to maintain running smoothness at speed, while the MT2 shank, with a nominal diameter of 17.78 mm, fits standard Morse taper tailstocks for straightforward replacement. The result is a component that supports consistent spindle dynamics and predictable tool-path behaviour.

Practical workshop integration and maintenance benefits

Compatibility and ease of use shorten set-up times and simplify inventory management. The MT2 taper is broadly standardised, allowing fast changeover between centres without additional adaptors, and the compact mass of 0.5 kg keeps handling and storage straightforward. Packaged as a single unit, the centre integrates into existing tooling suites and offers clear logistic traceability via the article number. Routine inspection and lubrication cycles are uncomplicated, so uptime is maximised while maintenance remains minimal.

FAQ

What maximum spindle speed is suitable for this live centre?
The TECWERK Live Centre MT2 is rated to a maximum of 4,900 rpm to maintain smooth rotation and minimal heat build-up during operation.

Which taper fits the lathe tailstock?
The centre uses a MT2 (Morse taper 2) shank; the specified shank diameter is 17.78 mm for standard tailstock mounting.

How precise is the radial runout of the centre point?
The radial runout deviation is specified at a maximum of 0.005 mm, offering high concentricity for precision turning tasks.

What workpiece mass can be supported safely?
The live centre supports a maximum workpiece weight of 200 kg as indicated in the technical specification.

What is the point geometry and why does it matter?
With a 60° point angle, the centre provides secure contact and even load distribution, which is beneficial for general turning and enhances repeatability.
