Multi-Tasking Live Centers
February 1, 2026
Royal Products has announced the Ultimate Multi-Tasking Live Center featuring Roto-Shield technology designed to significantly increase effective operating life and overall value. Designed specifically for use on the latest multi-tasking CNC machines with lower turrets and/or sub spindles, the Ultimate Multi-Tasking Live Center's spring-loaded point overcomes the lack of hydraulic compensation found on tailstocks, the company reported.
"Each Royal center is a finely crafted tool, incorporating the highest quality steels, bearings, lubricants, and seals for unparalleled accuracy, rigidity, and durability," said a company spokesperson.
According to the company, Royal High Performance Live Center features and benefits include:
- Guaranteed accurate to ±0.00005" 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.
According to the company, the Royal Roto-Shield extends bearing life by up to 300%. Royal Roto-Shield Technology consists of two main components:
- A live center point machined from an oversized solid bar to incorporate a specially shaped integral coolant slinger
- A long-life, spring-loaded seal that is resistant to abrasion, high temperatures, and virtually all metalworking fluids.
Royal noted that a significant increase in operating life is achieved through the following effects:
- Coolant is deflected, preventing it from penetrating the center and flushing out the grease.
- Bearings are protected from harmful fines and dust.
- Seal wear is minimized.
- Lubricating grease maintains consistency and lubricity.
