KORRETTO · Lathe center series
High Load Live Center (3–5T)
High load live centers are designed for heavy workpieces and long shaft turning applications requiring 3–5T support capacity. They provide rotating tailstock support for heavier machining conditions where standard live centers are not sufficient.
Send the Morse taper, workpiece weight, shaft length, support load, machining speed and center hole size, and we will help check whether this high load live center series fits your setup.
Product Overview
The KORRETTO high load live center is designed for heavy turning applications with 3–5T support requirements. It is suitable for long shafts, heavy workpieces and machining setups where load capacity is more important than the higher precision class of the precision series.
Typical Applications
- 3–5T heavy workpiece support
- Long shaft turning
- Heavy-duty tailstock support
- Large workpieces requiring rotating support
- Applications where load capacity is the main selection factor
Key Features

Selection Notes
Before selecting a high load live center, confirm the Morse taper, workpiece weight, shaft length, support load, machining speed and center hole size. This series is suitable when the main requirement is high load capacity for 3–5T turning conditions.
FAQ
What is a high load live center used for?
A high load live center is used for rotating tailstock support of workpieces that require a higher load capacity than standard live center models. It is suitable for larger shafts and heavier support conditions.
Is it a live center or a dead center?
It is a live center. The center rotates with the workpiece and is intended for heavy supporting duty under rotating conditions.
What machine taper should be confirmed?
Please confirm the tailstock taper or machine center interface before selection. The high load live center must match the machine-side taper correctly.
What workpiece weight or support condition should be checked?
Please confirm the workpiece weight, support load, shaft length and center-hole condition. These factors determine whether the 3–5T load class is suitable.
What speed or load should be considered?
Please confirm the operating speed, radial load and tailstock support force. The center should be selected according to both speed and load, not load alone.
How is it different from a general heavy-duty live center?
A high load live center is selected when the support load range must be clearly controlled for larger workpieces. Final selection should still be confirmed against the actual machine and workpiece condition.
What should be checked before installation?
Check the taper size, workpiece center-hole condition, support alignment and operating speed before installation. The contact surfaces should be clean and correctly seated.
What information is needed for quotation?
Please provide the machine taper, workpiece weight, support load, shaft length, speed range and machining process.
