The main feature of the "SLZV" steady rest (Patented) is that they can retract the arms inside the body, leaving the working area free and allowing, in this way, the loading of the pieces by automatic systems.The clamping range of the "SLZV" steady rest is obtained without replacing the clamping pads, allowing an important saving in money.
The minimal sizes, the high positioning and repeatability accuracy make this accessory the ideal instrument for grinding operations. It can be used as a support for long shaft, for internal or follow down grinding operations.
The "SLZV" steady rest is equipped with a system for the precise adjustement of the centerline (Patented device). It is generally manufactured with hard metal pads, but it can also be supplied with "PKD" (Diamond) pads, on request.

Main Features:
· Pads in hard metal (CBN) or PKD (Multicrystal Diamond) on request
· Hydraulic or pneumatic movement
· High centering accuracy
· It allows follow down grinding operations (grinding wheel working in front of the steady rest)
· High repeatability accuracy
· Opening and closing detecting system
· Compact and rigid frame
· Special applications on customer's request

Micrometrical adjustement system (Patented model) for the millesimal adjustement of the centerline of the steady rest.
This system guarantees an easy and quick set-up when more steady rests are used on the same workpiece.
The control system of the closing and opening is standard on all the types of steady rests.
The hydraulic or pneumatic connections can be positioned on speci?c customer's request.
It' s recommended that pressure have no changes during running.
