Turning Hydraulic Steady Rest

FAR has developed heavy duty hydraulic self centering steady rests for various kind of applications.

• Very Heavy duty construction of steady rest.
• Large rollers to handle very heavy loads (10 – 40 Tonnes) and clamping diameters up to 1300mm
• Hydraulic support to Bottom arm for using on large flat bed lathes.
• For turbine shaft, windmill shaft, marine crank shafts

COMPACT SERIES (CS)

• CS Series steady rests are compact to fit smaller machines with bigger clamping ranges.
• CS steady rest is comes with fully sealed body  Clamping range starts from 65mm and Maximum 510mm
• Rear Mounted Hydraulic actuating cylinder.
• Provision for coolant flush through arms is standard

Standard Hydraulic Self steady rest with rear mounted hydraulic actuating cylinder The FRU steady rests can be mounted on flat or slant bed lathes CNC lathes,  CNC milling machines etc. FRU Hydraulic Steady rests are available with different models to hold a job diameter from 6mm to 630mm.

FAR self centering steady rests standard features

• Inbuilt safety check valve
• Provision for Proximity Feed back for maximum opening
• Provision for compressed air.
• Provision for centralized lubrication suitable for oil lubrication
• Rollers
• 3 piece swarf guards for all three arms.

FAR FRUA Steady rest with rear mounted hydraulic actuating cylinder  and extra opening for top arm. This steady rest is utilized in applications where vertical loading is required 

The  FRUAB Hydraulic Self Centering Steady Rest from  FAR, has  side mounted hydraulic actuating cylinders. It also has  an extra opening for top arm. This steady rest is utilized in applications where vertical loading is required 

Standard models are available with Diameter clamping range from 12mm to 600mm

FAR FRUB series is Standard Steady rest with side mounted actuating cylinder designed to accommodate machines where the rear mounted cylinder may interfere with the door.

Clamping diameter starts from minimum 8mm and  and Maximum holding Range  630mm

FRUN Series self centering steady rest is the latest development from FAR. FRUN hydraulic steady rest is with the following advantage over other standard series hydraulic self centering steady rests.

• Fully sealed body for better protection from coolant and swarf
• Compact in size
• Hydraulic ports on top and side of cylinder
• Inbuilt safety valve
• Feed back for maximum opening
• Port for compressed air.
• Provision for centralized lubrication suitable for Grease or oil lubrication
• Mounting dimensions are similar to FRU series.
• Front body profile for easy chip flow

Features :

• Ultra compact steady rest
• Integrated actuating cylinder
• Provision for centralized lubrication
• Provision for proximity feedback for maximum opening
• Provision for coolant flush
