Steady-Rests and Blocks

Magnaflux rail and headstock mounted roller- style steady-rests provide the flexibility to support a variety of part lengths and assist with the loading of heavy and long parts. Our tailstock steady-rest mounts directly onto the tailstock shelf and is designed to work with either headstock or rail mounted steady-rests.

The Magnaflux contact block is clamped between the contact plates of headstock and tailstock to supply magnetizing current via cables to remote prods and clamps used to test parts that are too heavy or large for processing on MPI bench type units.

We pride ourselves in providing fast deliveries. However inventory changes rapidly and on occasion some items may not be in stock. If you require an expedited shipment, please contact us via e-mail or call our office to confirm availability of an item. *Nominal lead times vary by product.
