About REVOLVING TUBE (PIPE) CENTER
A revolving tube center is a live center designed specifically to support pipes, tubes and other hollow components in the lathe tailstock. It features an enlarged, tubular or conical nose that contacts the workpiece over a broader area, preventing distortion of thinwalled material while still providing accurate, concentric support. The body is manufactured from hardened and ground alloy steel, fitted with preloaded precision bearings for smooth rotation and high load capacity at typical lathe speeds. Ideal for machining pipes, hydraulic cylinders and light tubular jobs, the revolving tube center improves surface finish, reduces vibration and ensures secure support during external turning, facing and boring operations.
Available in different sizes and range.
Superior Materials and HardnessConstructed from a high-grade alloy steel body with hardened tips (58-60 HRC), this Revolving Tube (Pipe) Center is built for maximum strength and wear resistance. This combination delivers exceptional durability when supporting and rotating heavy pipes or tubes during demanding lathe operations.
Precision and Performance EngineeringEngineered for high concentricity and a tip angle of 60 degrees, this tube center provides accurate alignment and firm support. Its Morse Taper shank ensures reliable mounting, while precision ground and polished surfaces reduce vibration, ensuring smooth and precise machining even at up to 4000 RPM.
Dependable Cooling and Load HandlingEquipped with grease-lubricated bearings, this center maintains optimal operational temperature, reducing wear and extending service life. It is suitable for handling medium to heavy workpieces, making it an essential tool for various industrial applications.
FAQ's of REVOLVING TUBE (PIPE) CENTER:
Q: How is the Revolving Tube (Pipe) Center used in lathe operations?
A: It supports and rotates pipes or tubes between lathe centers, allowing for stable and accurate turning, facing, and related machining processes. Its robust bearings and precise alignment minimize deflection and vibration during heavy-duty work.
Q: What benefit does the hardness level of 58-60 HRC offer?
A: The high tip hardness ensures excellent wear resistance and longevity, particularly during rigorous machining tasks involving sustained pressure and rotational force on the tube center.
Q: When should I choose a Revolving Tube (Pipe) Center with these specifications?
A: Select this product when handling medium to heavy pipes or tubes that require accurate support, high-speed rotation (up to 4000 RPM), and minimal maintenance during demanding lathe operations.
Q: Where is this revolving tube center best applied?
A: It is ideally used in workshops, manufacturing plants, and industrial settings in India requiring heavy-duty turning and facing of pipes or tubes on lathe machines.
Q: What is the process for maintaining the grease-lubricated bearing?
A: Regularly check the bearing for adequate grease levels and contamination. Clean and replenish the grease as per manufacturer's recommendations to ensure smooth rotation and a long service life.
Q: How does high concentricity improve my lathe work?
A: High concentricity minimizes runout, ensuring precise alignment between the workpiece and the lathe axis. This results in cleaner cuts, improved surface finish, and less tool wear.
