Portable Journal Lathe

Our Portable Journal Lathe is a high-performance, precision tool designed to restore the concentricity, surface finish, and circularity tolerances of shafts.Built to handle both horizontal and vertical machining, the JLP230 can precisely machine bearing journals and other circular surfaces, delivering results that meet stringent specifications. With a working diameter range of 80 to 230 millimeters and a maximum stroke of 285 millimeters, this lathe is engineered for versatility in various applications. Powered by a robust 1800-watt servo motor and driven by a stepper motor for consistent speed control, the JLP230 offers a variable speed range from 0 to 155 RPM, allowing fine-tuned adjustments based on the material and desired finish. The lathe maintains an exceptional ovality tolerance of 0.02 millimeters and a taper tolerance of 0.03 millimeters over 200 millimeters in length, making it ideal for precise, high-quality machining. With a maximum cutting thickness of 1.5 millimeters and an average surface finish roughness of 3.2 microns, the JLP230 guarantees a smooth, consistent result. This lathe is a powerful, portable solution for professionals seeking both reliability and precision in the field.
