VPC‑MT1 Live Centre — 108 mm, 3200 r.p.m., Vertex

The VPC‑MT1 is a revolving live centre designed to support turning operations in workshop lathes, offering high concentricity and dependable running at elevated spindle speeds.

• High precision 0.005 mm runout
• Alloy steel construction for longevity
• Suitable for 3200 r.p.m. turning
• Compact 108 mm overall length

Maintain concentricity with measurable precision

The live centre delivers a 0.005 mm accuracy which directly reduces vibration and runout during rotation; this measurable performance improves surface finish and lowers scrap rates in repetitive turning tasks. A revolving support that maintains concentricity enables higher machining consistency, meaning fewer reworks and predictable tolerances for production batches. The specification of 3200 r.p.m. confirms suitability for moderate high-speed applications where stability and repeatability are priorities.

Built for sustained use in workshop environments

Constructed from alloy steel, the component offers enhanced wear resistance compared with standard steel alternatives, extending service life under regular use. The rotating tip is designed to follow the workpiece rotation, reducing friction and heat build-up at the contact point. This results in reduced maintenance intervals and a lower risk of premature failure, which contributes to improved uptime on the shopfloor and reliable daily performance.

Compact form that simplifies setups and throughput

With an overall length of 108 mm and a weight of 0.3 kg, the revolving centre is compact and easy to handle within confined lathe applications. The small footprint supports flexible fixturing and helps maintain clearance in multi-operation setups. Practical benefits include simplified changeovers and consistent centring across short-run and batch production, providing operational efficiency without sacrificing robustness.
