Tandem Steady Rest Fixed

Steady Rest Fixed for end machining

Steady Rest Travelling

Steady Rests Steady rests are normally used for efficient machining of long slender shafts. On conventional steady rests three screw 120° apart are adjusted manually. This type of centering process is not reliable and depends on operator’s skill.FAR self centering steady rests work on an entirely different principle. Three rollers hold the work piece at points Approx120° 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.

FAR produce different kinds of steady rests• Steady Rests for Turning• Steady Rests for Grinding• Steady Rests for Special application.

Listed below models of steady rests

FAR steady rollers with special sealing ensure highest precision and service life.The steady rollers are consumable item, and need to replace..FAR provide different type of out side rollers depends up on the component and process, which are mainly, cylindrical rollers, spherical roller, narrow roller, etc.

Option of Rollers

Spherical Cylindrical Slender

R500

Manual LubricationThis lubrication system is used for light duty working conditions and low building of swarf. The lubrication points and rollers are supplied with grease through grease nipple and grease gun. Steady Lubrication schedule depends on the working conditions normally every 4-8 operating hours. Grease: `DIN 51402‘

Steady Rest Lubrication

Central Lubrication This lubrication system is used in heavy working conditions and high build of swarf as well as traveling steady rest applications. The steady rest is provided with a lubricating connection to sup-ply the oil to the lubricating points and rollers through metering cartridges. The pressure required for the lubricating pump is 10-30 bar.

Eccentric roller pins on the two arms of the steady rest allow a quick fine adjustment of centre line. This provision helps to avoid unlocking of the steady rest on the bracket for small adjustments.

Eccentric Fine Adjustment - Option

To avoid interference of chips with rollers and work piece an optional built-in channel on the steady rest feeds coolant or air from a central connecting port to the arms of steady rest.

3 piece replaceable swarf guards made from special material protects the rollers and other internal parts from the dirt and swarf during the machining.

Coolant / Air Supply - Option 3-Piece Swarf Guard

Steady Rests for Grinding FAR has developed an entire range of pad type self centering steady rests for cylindrical grinding machines. FAR has also provided several custom made solutions to suit customers in process gauging components and machines.

Salient Features• 3 point steady rest with carbide pad support• Greater accuracy for todays tolerance limit• Models for crank shaft, and cam shaft• Less down time for steady rest adjustment• The follow - down operation allows all supporting pads to moves

toward center as the part size diminishes. This feature provide continuous support while the part is being ground

• Pass through grinding• Easy retro fitting in ordinary cylindrical grinders• Actuation from simple hydraulic power pack of machine using

manual/PLC solenoid operated DC valve• More parts per hour• Increase grinding wheel life• Custom models to meet your exact application• Vertical loading by gantry for special models

AS This series is specialy designed with retractable arms for easy vertical lodig of jobs events in hydraulic cylindrical grinding machine

KRGU This series is specially designed for crank shaft grinding to accommodate the maximum eccentric throw and journal diameter of crank shafts. Custom made design are available to accommodate in-process gauge and vertical loading.

GHS This series is for all standard grinding applications such as cylindrical grinding, camshaft grinding, camlobe grinding etc., We also manufacture custom design to accommodate in-process gauge.

VGHS These steadies are for cylindrical and camshaft grinding. This series is designed to be used on machines where GHS series steadies cannot be used. It comes with a top arm which is fully openable so as to load components to the machine centre. The opening action can be identified through a sensor integrated to the steady itself.
