Riten R7293 229495 Live Center Lathe Tailstock

The Riten R7293 (catalog item 229495) is a new precision live center designed for use in lathe tailstocks and between-centers turning operations. Riten Industries is a U.S.-based manufacturer of live and dead centers, and the R7293 designation corresponds to their heavy-duty live center line, featuring precision preloaded angular contact and roller bearing assemblies that support both radial and axial loads during high-speed turning. The center body is machined from alloy steel and features a black oxide–finished flange housing with a ground and polished straight shank; the rotating tip is spring-loaded and engages the workpiece center hole to minimize runout, typically to within 0.0001 in TIR on Riten's production-grade centers. The flat end face of the shank shows a center oil hole for lubrication access, consistent with Riten's standard heavy-duty live center construction. This unit is new-in-box and suited for production turning, cylindrical grinding setups, and any between-centers application requiring stable, concentric workpiece support under heavy cutting loads.
