KORRETTO · Lathe center series
Heavy-Duty Live Center
Heavy-duty live centers are designed for larger workpieces, long shafts and turning operations with higher cutting loads. They provide rotating tailstock support for applications that require stronger load capacity than light-duty or medium-duty live centers.
Send the Morse taper, workpiece weight, shaft length, machining speed and cutting load, and we will help check whether this heavy-duty live center series fits your setup.
Product Overview
The KORRETTO heavy-duty live center is designed for tailstock support of larger and heavier shaft-type workpieces. It is suitable for turning applications where higher support load, stable rotation and stronger tailstock support are required.
Typical Applications
- Heavy-duty shaft turning
- Larger and longer workpieces
- Tailstock support under higher cutting loads
- Lathe machining requiring stronger support capacity
- Applications requiring MT3 to MT5 live center options

Selection Notes
Before selecting a heavy-duty live center, confirm the Morse taper, workpiece weight, shaft length, machining speed and cutting load. This series is suitable when light-duty or medium-duty live centers do not provide enough load capacity.
FAQ
What is a heavy-duty live center used for?
A heavy-duty live center is used to support larger or heavier workpieces from the tailstock side during turning and other machining operations. It is selected when higher support load and stable rotating support are required.
Is it a live center or a dead center?
It is a live center. The center rotates with the workpiece and is commonly used where tailstock support is needed at higher working speeds than a dead center usually allows.
What machine taper should be confirmed?
Please confirm the tailstock taper or machine center interface before selection. The heavy-duty live center must match the machine-side taper correctly.
What workpiece weight, length or support condition should be checked?
Please confirm the workpiece weight, shaft length, center-hole size and support condition. These factors determine whether a heavy-duty live center is the right load class.
What speed or load should be considered?
Please confirm the operating speed, radial load and tailstock support load. A heavy-duty live center must be selected according to both the weight and the speed condition.
How is it different from light-duty or medium-duty live centers?
The main difference is the support load class and the working range. Heavy-duty live centers are selected for larger workpieces and higher support loads than light-duty or medium-duty models.
What should be checked before installation?
Check the tailstock taper, center-hole condition, workpiece support alignment and running speed before installation. The taper and support surfaces should be clean and properly matched.
What information is needed for quotation?
Please provide the machine taper, workpiece weight, shaft length, center-hole size, speed range and machining process.
