Enhanced flange live center

Abstract

An enhanced flanged live center includes a live center housing and a reinforcing member. The live center housing includes a front bearing cavity and a rear tapered shank for insertion into a tapered hole in a machine tool tailstock. The reinforcing member includes a flange ring and a reinforcing ring. The flange ring is fixed to the outer circumferential surface of the front bearing cavity. The reinforcing ring is C-shaped, and its two ends are connected by a second fastener, allowing the reinforcing ring to grip the outside of the machine tool tailstock. The flange ring and the reinforcing ring are connected by a first fastener, allowing the load borne by the front bearing cavity to be transferred to the machine tool tailstock through the reinforcing member. The enhanced flanged live center, with its reinforcing member for connecting to the machine tool tailstock, reduces the deflection of the live center and enhances its stability, thus improving the accuracy of the live center during rotation.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of live center technology, specifically an enhanced flange live center. Background Technology

[0002] A live center, also known as a slewing center, is a machine tool component used in machining to support the workpiece. The live center contains rolling or sliding bearings, allowing its tip to rotate synchronously with the workpiece. This structural design effectively reduces frictional resistance between the workpiece and the center, preventing excessive heat generated by high-speed rotation from affecting machining accuracy.

[0003] The live center includes a front bearing cavity and a rear tapered shank. The front bearing cavity houses the bearing and the center part, while the rear tapered shank is connected to the telescopic sleeve of the machine tool tailstock. Since the live center only contacts the workpiece directly through its center part, the center part forms a cantilever structure with the machine tool tailstock. This structure has a certain degree of deflection, which will affect the stability and accuracy of the center part's rotation during the workpiece support process. Utility Model Content
