Whether cutting O-ring grooves, repairing turbine spindles, or fixing an out-of-round gear seat area on the shaft of a high-speed production machine, a CLIMAX portable lathe can pay for itself on its first job. Our family of lathes bolt onto the end of a shaft to re-turn shafts and roll journals from 1.5 inches to 24 inches (38 to 610 mm). Some models can work in quarters as tight as 7 inches (177.8 mm) of radial clearance, while the PL4000 has the ability to machine a tapered shaft. Pneumatic power is standard, with optional electric power available on several models.
PL2000 LATHE
Plenty of power in a compact package. Gets the job done with just 7 inches (177.8 mm) of radial clearance. Its simplified mounting, bolted directly to the end of the shaft, speeds setup and reduces costly downtime for work on shaft diameters from 1.5 to 9 inches (38.1 to 228.6 mm).
Specifications:
Max. Turning Reach: 12.5 inches (317.5 mm)Shaft Diameter: 1.5 – 9 inches (38.1 – 228.6 mm)
Power Option: Electric or Pneumatic
PL3000 LATHE
Re-turns large shafts and roll journals by mounting directly to the work piece and rotating around the shaft. Ruggedly dependable, accurate and powerful, it can eliminate hours of equipment dismantling. Designed for shaft diameters from 4 to 11.25 inches (101.6 to 285.8 mm).
Specifications:
Max. Turning Reach: 22 inches (558.8 mm)Shaft Diameter: 4 – 11.25 inches (101.6 – 285.8 mm)
