The range of forms and sizes is the largest available from a single source.
Bruckner Standard Range of Live Centres
Standard Range High Performance Live Centres features ensure rigid, high precision performance with long life; with drop forged housings for maximum strength, centre spindles of through-hardened alloy steel, triple seal systems and maintenance free preloaded ball and roller bearings.
**NEW** Super Compact Centres
BRUCKNER Super Compact C Series Centres are produced to the highest international standards of roundness, finish and taper accuracy AT4.
With short compact housing, anti-vibration design and runout from 0.003 mm to 0.001 mm these centres are ideal where workspace is limited and accuracy essential.
Engineering Manufacture – The CS/CE range; with Bruckner’s patented TOP-SEAL-SYSTEM bearings are protected from dirt and coolant ingress.
With runout to within 0.003mm the range is ideal for high performance turning and cylindrical grinding operations.
Special accuracy versions CSG/CEG are available with runout to within 0.001 mm.
Measuring Inspection and Testing – The CSM/CEM range, with anti-friction bearings and runout to within 0.002 mm as standard these centres are ideal for measuring and testing work.
For extra high accuracy processes special precision versions CSMG/CEMG are available with runout to within 0.001 mm.
Pressure Indicating Centres
Pressure Indicating live centres (spring loaded centres) show actual tailstock pressure by coloured bands on the live centre spindle. Use these centres when face driving where they are invaluable to see the axial force being applied to the component end; or when machining long/slender work to allow for thermal expansion.
Centres for CNC Lathes
The new “T” Line range of centres for CNC lathes which includes spring loaded/forward compensating centres for CNC lathe tailstocks and turrets, plus compensating centres with CAPTO shanks.
