Umbrella Live Center MT2-MT5 | Bull Nose Live Center for Lathe

Product Description

The Umbrella Live Center is a large cone-type revolving center designed for supporting pipes, tubes, hollow workpieces, and large-bore components during lathe machining.

Its wide conical head provides a larger contact area than a standard live center, helping to center and support hollow workpieces securely from the tailstock side.

Available in MT2, MT3, MT4, and MT5 Morse taper sizes, with cone diameters from 75 mm up to 250 mm, making it suitable for different lathe sizes and workpiece requirements.

Selection Guide

Choose the correct umbrella live center based on the Morse taper size of the lathe tailstock and the required cone diameter for the workpiece.

For best fit, confirm the tailstock taper size first, then select the cone diameter that properly supports the pipe, tube, or hollow workpiece.
