Steady Rests - Turning Steadies

We are providing Steady Rests - Turning Steadies to our clients. Steady rests are normally used for efficient machining of long slender
shafts. On conventional steady rests three screw 120A apart are adjusted manually. This type of centering process is not reliable and depends on operatora s skill.
FAR self centering steady rests work on an entirely different principle. Three rollers hold the work piece at points Approx120A apart. These rollers move such that they always inscribe concentric circles between them. This feature along with the internal compensating system prevents the dislocation of work piece center under changing clamping pressures. This results in high centering accuracy. FAR Steadies are made of high grade alloy steel and all parts are fully hardened to 60 HRC, and nitrided to be 100% corrosion free. By mounting accordingly these steady rests can be used for turning outside diameters, inside diameters, facing, drilling, grinding , induction hardening etc. Steady rests can be operated either hydraulically or pneumatically with the only difference being the clamping cylinder bore.In FRU series the clamping cylinder is fixed as axial extension at the rear end. With FRU -B series the cylinder is fixed to the side of the steady rests to save mounting space.
