The revolving live centre with compression is a support device used in lathe operations to stabilize the workpiece during machining, ensuring geometric accuracy and reducing vibration. The 60° tip compliant with DIN 1835 guarantees standardized contact with centre holes, allowing proper positioning and balanced load distribution.

The working principle is based on a rotating tip combined with an internal compression stroke C, enabling axial compensation during machining. This feature helps absorb axial variations, reducing stress on internal components and limiting errors caused by misalignment or thermal expansion.

The cylindrical shank allows installation on conventional and CNC lathes, ensuring compatibility with different machine configurations. It is suitable for turning operations between centres where continuous support and rotational stability are required.

Typical applications include mechanical machining processes where maintaining alignment and consistent support is essential. The compression system is particularly effective in conditions with variable loads.

The main selection parameter is the shank diameter d1, which must match the machine interface. Variants differ only in geometric dimensions, while the functional principle and tip geometry remain unchanged.
