SAN SHING SK-22160 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The San Shing SK-22160 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for precision and durability in demanding turning applications. With a swing over bed of 21.97 inches (560 mm) and a swing over cross slide of 13.00 inches (330 mm), this lathe provides ample capacity for large workpieces. The distance between centers is 159.76 inches (4,058 mm), allowing for extended turning operations. The machine features a robust 3.05-inch (77.5 mm) spindle bore, enabling the processing of long bar stock or large-diameter components. Powered by a 7.5 HP main motor, the SK-22160 delivers reliable torque for heavy cutting tasks, with spindle speeds adjustable up to 1,200 RPM for optimal control across a range of materials and operations. The lathe is built on a heavily ribbed, wide bed constructed from high-strength cast iron, ensuring stability and minimizing vibration during operation. The bed ways are induction hardened and precision ground for long-lasting accuracy and smooth movement. The main spindle is large diameter and supported by high-precision bearings at three points, enhancing rigidity and reducing deflection under load. The machine is equipped with a readily adjustable overload safety device on the apron and carriage, as well as manual and automatic dual lubrication for slide surfaces, promoting consistent performance and extended component life. The SK-22160 supports both metric and imperial threading, with a comprehensive range of thread pitches available. Standard features include a dial rotary system for quick speed changes, an emergency brake pedal for immediate stopping, and a reduction gearing tailstock for convenient drilling. This lathe is designed for high-precision, heavy-duty turning in industrial environments.
