Universal revolving centre VPC‑MT5 — rotating live centre in alloy steel, 1500 r.p.m.

The Universal revolving centre VPC‑MT5 is a rotating live centre designed for general lathe centring, offering precision repeatability and durable alloy‑steel construction for workshop and light industrial use.

• Alloy steel construction for longevity
• Repeat accuracy of 0.005 mm
• Safe operation up to 1500 r.p.m.
• Length 248 mm, sturdy 3.2 kg

Consistent centring for repeatable results

The VPC‑MT5 delivers repeatable accuracy of 0.005 mm, which reduces rework and shortens setup cycles on turning operations. This level of precision is achieved through a balanced rotating tip and a rigid body made from alloy steel, ensuring stable contact with the workpiece under normal lathe speeds. By specifying a measured repeatability rather than marketing estimates, the centre provides a verifiable basis for quality control and process planning, supporting predictable outcomes in series production and precision repairs.

Built for workshop reliability and safe operation

Designed for continuous rotation up to 1500 r.p.m., the revolving tip minimises friction and heat build‑up during turning, which helps protect both the workpiece and the lathe spindle. The solid construction and a length of 248 mm, combined with a mass of 3.2 kg, ensure mechanical stability during centring tasks. These characteristics translate into longer component life, fewer interruptions for maintenance and a lower risk of run‑out; the result is a more economical machining process and less downtime for the workshop.

Straightforward integration and practical benefits

As a universal live centre, the VPC‑MT5 is suitable for a wide range of standard lathe centring tasks where a revolving centre is required. The robust alloy‑steel body withstands regular handling in busy environments and supports reliable operation over many cycles. Clear technical data such as GTIN 4061905088018, length and measured accuracy enable easier procurement, traceability and inclusion in quality documentation. For teams planning tool inventories or upgrading centre tooling, the combination of precision, durability and known speed limits simplifies specification decisions and aligns with standard workshop requirements.
