Value Collection 320130 Live Center Taper Shank MT6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 320130 is a heavy-duty live center designed for use on engine lathes and CNC turning equipment. It features a Morse Taper 6 (MT6) shank and a triple-bearing assembly that supports rotating workpieces at speeds up to 2,700 RPM. The standard 60-degree point engages center-drilled workpieces and handles load capacities up to 7,500 lb. At 12.598 inches overall length and constructed from steel, this live center is built for demanding production and toolroom turning applications. Machinists and tool-room technicians are the primary users of this center in both job-shop and production environments.

This live center is suited for heavy turning operations in machine shops, production floors, and maintenance facilities where large-diameter or high-mass workpieces require stable tail-stock support. The MT6 taper shank seats directly into compatible lathe tailstocks without adapters. The triple-bearing design reduces heat buildup and runout at extended run times, making it appropriate for both intermittent and continuous turning cycles on steel, cast iron, and other ferrous workpieces.

Key Features

• MT6 taper shank for direct seating in compatible tailstocks
• Triple-bearing assembly supports up to 7,500 lb workpiece load
• Maximum spindle speed of 2,700 RPM
• Standard 60-degree point with 2.362 inch point diameter
• Accuracy rated to 0.005 mm runout
• Steel construction throughout for rigidity under heavy cuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade live center for engine lathes and turning centers equipped with a Morse Taper 6 tailstock bore.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before seating or removing the center from the tailstock. Clean both the tailstock bore and the MT6 shank taper thoroughly before installation to ensure full contact and accurate seating. Never exceed the rated maximum RPM or load capacity, as overloading the bearing assembly can cause premature failure and present a safety hazard.
