Original Press Release:
The First Live Center with Permanent Bearing Protection
The new C4T live center from Riten Industries features a proprietary bearing isolator seal designed exclusively for Riten by Inpro/Seal. Exhaustive testing indicates that the C4T will have at least three times the service life of standard centers, and that the non-contacting frictionless seal will never wear out under normal use. Normal use includes demanding service with high-horsepower lathes and grinders, and applications involving extreme coolant pressures. In all applications, the C4T has a guaranteed accuracy of ±.00005" TIR. The bearing isolator seal is a compound mechanical labyrinth with dual flow paths: the inner section retains and recirculates the bearing lubricant, while the outer path captures outside contamination and expells it through a port. The C4T and all other Riten workholding products will be on display in Booth #F2264 at IMTS 2008 in Chicago.
