The Royal Roto-Shield is an exclusive innovation that can increase a live center’s operating life by up to 300%.

The Royal Roto-Shield is an exclusive innovation that can increase a live center’s operating life by up to 300%. Now a standard feature on Royal’s live center models, the Roto-Shield consists of an oversized steel coolant slinger machined into the center’s rotating point, combined with a long-life, spring-loaded neoprene seal that is resistant to abrasion, high temperatures, and virtually all metalworking fluids.

 

The Royal Roto-Shield produces an increase in bearing life by deflecting coolant, protecting bearings against harmful chips, fines, and dust, minimizing seal wear, and maintaining grease consistency. All Royal live center models equipped with Royal Roto-Shield technology are rated for high-pressure coolant applications up to 2,000 psi and have a guaranteed runout accuracy of +/- 0.000050 in. TIR.

  • Guaranteed accuracy to ± 0.00005 in. TIR or better.
  • Exclusive Royal Roto-Shield coolant slinger extends bearing life by up to 300%.
  • Optimized point geometries for maximum rigidity.
  • Wide range of in-stock standard models to suit most common turning applications.
  • Immediate delivery of “Off-The-Shelf” special centers
