Description
The BS Series Semi Universal Dividing Head is a simplified version of a universal dividing head designed for accurate indexing operations in tool rooms and production workshops. It allows the operator to divide a workpiece into multiple equal sections using indexing plates and a worm gear mechanism.
The dividing head consists of a hardened spindle supported by precision bearings, a worm and worm wheel mechanism, and a dividing plate system. The spindle can be positioned horizontally, vertically, or tilted to different angles for machining operations.
The direct indexing plate with 24 holes allows quick divisions such as 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24, while additional indexing plates enable divisions from 2 to 50 and many divisions up to 380.
Main Features
- Direct & Indirect Indexing for accurate workpiece division.
- 40:1 worm gear ratio for precise indexing.
- Tilting spindle (0°–90°) for angular machining operations.
- Direct indexing plate with 24 holes for quick divisions.
- Three dividing plates (A, B, C) for complex indexing.
- Hardened and ground spindle for high precision and durability.
- Heavy cast-iron construction for rigidity and vibration-free operation.
- Slotted base for easy alignment on milling machine tables.
