Weight Capacity

Weight Capacity:

The weight capacity of a rotary table is rated by the mounting position of the rotary table. Most standard 4^th axis rotary tables can be mounted in the vertical (centerline of rotation is parallel to the X axis) or in the horizontal position (mounted on its back with the centerline of rotation parallel to machine Z axis). The weight capacity in the vertical position is rated in KG. If you are using a tailstock or support you can double the vertical weight capacity of the rotary table. The basic rule of thumb on the part size is to mount a part that is not larger than the diameter of the faceplate of the rotary table and it does not extend beyond that diameter from the faceplate unless a tailstock and support is being used.
