Live Centers: Precision and Durability with ROHM and KatanaMech Solutions in India
The live center “with the blue ring” is a trusted name in machining, often referred to as the “Röhm center.” Renowned for its indestructible build and unmatched precision, this tool is a staple for lathe operators and cutting machine professionals
worldwide. With KatanaMech Solutions bringing the superior ROHM products to India, live centers have never been more accessible.
What are Live Centers?
Live centers are essential tools in machining, used for counter-clamping workpieces on turning and grinding machines. They rotate with the workpiece, offering precision and stability, making them indispensable for tasks requiring high cutting capacities and precision. ROHM live centers, supplied by KatanaMech Solutions in India, boast a concentricity deviation of just 0.005 mm, ensuring unmatched accuracy and reliability.
Features of ROHM Live Centers
ROHM live centers, brought to you by KatanaMech Solutions in India, are engineered with several standout features:
Key Features:
- High Precision Bearings: Equipped with precision roller and needle bearings, they provide exceptional axial and radial load capacity.
- Wear-Resistant Center Points: Center points feature hard-metal inserts, which can be reground multiple times, extending their service life.
- Robust Protection: Lip seals and water spray grooves prevent penetration of cooling lubricants, ensuring durability.
- Ground Shank: Manufactured to DIN 228 AT5 standards, ensuring tight tolerances for maximum concentricity.
- Maintenance-Free: Lifetime lubrication eliminates the need for regular upkeep..
