MT2 Live Center 2MT 60° Morse Taper 220 LB Load Capacity CNC Tool

Description

Product Overview

The DUZFOREI MT2 Live Center is engineered for high‑performance machining on long‑spindle CNC lathes. Constructed from premium tool steel that has undergone RC60‑62 heat treatment, the live center offers superior hardness and wear resistance, ensuring consistent performance even under heavy loads. Its Morse Taper 2 (MT2) design with a 60° center point provides a secure, precise fit that minimizes run‑out and vibration during operation. With a maximum rotational speed of 3500 RPM, the tool can handle a wide range of materials, from aluminum to hardened steel, without sacrificing accuracy. The specified accuracy of 0.000197 inch translates to extremely tight tolerances, making it ideal for precision components such as aerospace parts, medical devices, and high‑end automotive components. The extended spindle, fabricated from alloy steel, adds rigidity and reduces deflection, allowing the live center to support a maximum load of 220 lb. This capacity ensures that even the most demanding turning operations are performed smoothly, reducing tool wear and extending overall machine life. Additionally, the live center features a dust‑proof and liquid‑proof seal, protecting internal bearings from contaminants and prolonging service intervals. The compact dimensions of 1 × 1 × 1 inches and lightweight design (1.16 lb) make it easy to install and replace, while still delivering the robustness required for industrial environments. Overall, the MT2 Live Center combines precision engineering, durable materials, and thoughtful design to meet the rigorous demands of modern CNC machining.

Usage

This live center is suited for a variety of machining scenarios, including high‑speed turning, finishing passes, and roughing operations where stability is critical. It excels in environments where long spindle lengths increase the risk of deflection, such as when machining large diameter workpieces or when using extended tool holders. The MT2 Live Center is compatible with standard CNC lathe chucks and can be employed in both automated production lines and manual setups, providing flexibility for small batch and high‑volume manufacturing. Its robust construction makes it reliable for continuous operation in harsh industrial settings, including automotive part production, aerospace component fabrication, and precision instrument manufacturing. Operators benefit from the easy installation process, which requires only a simple insertion into the spindle nose, and the tool’s self‑aligning feature ensures optimal positioning without the need for additional calibration. The dust‑proof seal protects the internal bearings from metal chips and coolant, reducing downtime for maintenance. Whether used in a dedicated machining cell or as part of a multi‑axis machining center, the MT2 Live Center delivers consistent performance, helping manufacturers achieve tighter tolerances and higher surface finish quality.
