New High-Performance Steady Rests



Kitagawa-NorthTech has added five new high-precision steady rests to its fleet of workholding offerings: GHS series, FRUN series, VGHS series, HL80130 and the HS160SAL.

According to the company, features include:

  • GHS steady rests exhibit high-accuracy clamping and are ideal for standard grinding applications such as cylinder, camshaft and camlobe.
  • FRUN steady rests are fully sealed, compact in size and allow for easy mounting on flat or slant bed lathes.
  • The VGHS series helps stabilize cylinders and camshafts during grinding. This model features a top arm that fully opens for loading components to the machine center. This opening can be identified by a sensor integrated within the steady rest.
  • HL80130 and HS160SAL are new heavy-duty steady rests that exhibit enhanced control while stabilizing components from 10 to 40 tons.
