PMK Tail Support units are designed to support and stabilise rotating work-pieces during machining, complementing tail-stocks in setups where additional support is required. Tail supports provide contact or live-bearing support for work-pieces beyond standard tail-stock reach or in multi-axis rotation systems.

Key benefits

• Added stability for extended work-pieces or heavy components under rotation.
• Flexible mounting and support configurations for complex machining tasks.
• Improves surface finish and dimensional accuracy by controlling deflection and vibration.
• Quick re-location and adjustment reduce set-up time in multi-part production.

Applications

• Long bar turning, multi-station indexing and rotary table operations.
• Start-stock or finish-stock support in automation and machining cells.
• Large component machining where support beyond chuck or head-stock is necessary.
• Auxiliary support for heavy or tall work-pieces rotated or indexed under load.

Technical highlights

• Load ratings defined for both static and dynamic support.
• Adjustable height or live-bearing contact elements.
• Compatibility with rotary table mounting and indexing fixtures.
• Designed for both horizontal and vertical support orientation.
