Slim live centre MK3 (extended tip) – 60° precision point, Morse taper 3, RÖHM

Slim live centre MK3 (RÖHM) delivers concentrated, deep-reaching support for turning applications where access and concentricity are critical.

• Extended tip for deep support
• 60° precision point for concentric seating
• Morse taper 3 spindle interface
• Runout ≤ 0.008 mm for high accuracy

Improve turning accuracy with low runout and high rotational capacity

The Slim live centre MK3 is designed to raise process reliability by combining a runout tolerance of 0.008 mm with a rated rotational speed of 7,000 rpm. This combination reduces wobble and vibration at speed, which in turn improves repeatability and surface finish when turning slender components. In practice, a low runout value translates into less rework, fewer rejects and a clearer path to consistent concentricity across production batches. For workshops focusing on precision turning, these measurable performance parameters underpin machining stability and predictable outcomes.

Reach deeper into components with a slim projection and precise tip geometry

The extended tip and slim body enable support of long or narrow workpieces without obstructing tool access. With a projection of 74 mm, a tip length of 32 mm and a centred point diameter of Ø15 mm, the centre provides a secure seat for axially long parts while the 60° point ensures correct centring in standard lathe centres. The Morse taper 3 mounting assures compatibility with common lathe tailstocks and adapters, while the shaft diameter of 23.825 mm offers a stable fit. These dimensions allow machinists to maintain rigidity close to the workpiece, reducing deflection and improving dimensional control on delicate geometries.

Integrate smoothly into workshop workflows for robust, repeatable results

Built for everyday use in industrial and small-batch environments, the centre’s body diameter of 34 mm and moderate mass (approx. 0.46 kg) make it easy to handle and fit without adding unnecessary inertia to the tailstock assembly. With a rated static support of 340 kg for the workpiece, the design balances capacity and precision, making it suitable for a wide spectrum of turning tasks where controlled support is required rather than heavy-duty bearing loads. The component’s characteristics favour quick changeover and predictable performance, supporting leaner setups and shorter cycle times while preserving part quality.

FAQ

Is this centre compatible with MT3 tailstocks?
The Slim live centre MK3 uses a Morse taper 3 shaft execution, so it is compatible with standard MT3 tailstocks and adapters.

What rotational speeds are permissible with this live centre?
This live centre is rated for up to 7,000 rpm under the specified runout and loading conditions.

How much axial support can the centre provide?
The centre is specified with a maximum supported workpiece weight of 340 kg for static support situations.

What concentricity can be expected when mounted correctly?
When mounted and run in under correct conditions, the device offers a maximum runout of 0.008 mm, enabling high repeatability and improved surface finish.

Which part dimensions help with deep-turning applications?
A projection of 74 mm combined with a 32 mm tip length and a slim tip diameter of Ø15 mm enables access into narrow and long workpieces while maintaining support.
