Rotating live centre MT4 (32 mm) by TECWERK — 60° tip, 2,700 rpm max

The Rotating live centre MT4 (32 mm) is a heavy-duty lathe support designed for axial centring of turned components, offering high load capacity and fine radial accuracy for demanding workshop and light industrial turning applications.

• Live centre MT4 with 60° tip angle
• Max. workpiece load 800 kg capacity
• Runout ≤ 0.005 mm for precision
• Max. speed 2,700 rpm; 70 mm housing

Stability and precision for heavy turning

Acentre that keeps parts concentric under load reduces rework and shortens cycle times. The runout ≤ 0.005 mm specification ensures tight radial control, which translates into finer surface finish and consistent diameters when machining shafts or large rings. The 60° tip is a proven geometry for secure seating in standard centres, and the specified 800 kg maximum workpiece support means less risk of deflection during facing or turning operations. For workshops aiming to improve first-pass yield, this rotating centre brings measurable gains in machining accuracy.

Robust construction for continuous operation

Built around a compact 70 mm housing and a solid shank execution, the unit withstands sustained spindle activity without compromising stability. The combination of a substantial 31.267 mm shaft diameter and a projection of 102.5 mm gives a favourable stiffness-to-length ratio for common lathe setups. Rated for up to 2,700 rpm, the centre suits many standard turning speeds while the measured tip length of 41 mm provides sufficient contact depth for secure engagement. These attributes reduce vibration and support longer tool life through steadier cutting conditions.

Compatibility and workshop efficiency

Designed for MT4 (Morse taper 4) spindles, the centre fits conventional tailstock and live-centre arrangements without additional adaptors, simplifying changeovers. The compact form and standard interface help reduce setup time and allow rapid integration into existing turning processes. Clear numerical specifications make process planning straightforward: spindle speed limits, permissible workpiece mass and dimensional data enable quick verification of suitability for specific jobs. For buyers seeking a balance of durability and measurable performance, this component offers a practical upgrade to centre tooling.

FAQ

What materials and machines is this centre suited for?
The TECWERK rotating live centre is intended as axial support for turning operations on lathes and is compatible with conventional workpiece materials where a 60° seating is appropriate; the technical data such as runout ≤ 0.005 mm and 800 kg load rating guide machine selection.

How does the runout specification affect machining quality?
A low runout value (0.005 mm) on the rotating centre reduces concentricity errors during turning; when the TECWERK centre is used, parts typically exhibit improved diameter consistency and surface finish, which lowers scrap rates.

Is the shank compatible with standard tailstocks?
Yes, the shank execution is MT4, making the unit compatible with tailstocks and live‑centre adaptors designed for Morse taper 4 interfaces without further modification.

Can the centre be used at high spindle speeds?
The component is rated for a maximum of 2,700 rpm; operating within this limit maintains the specified accuracy and service life for the TECWERK rotating live centre.

What are the dimensional considerations for setup?
Key dimensions to verify during setup include the projection (102.5 mm), housing diameter (70 mm) and shaft diameter (31.267 mm) to ensure correct seating and clearance in the lathe tailstock and any workholding fixtures.
