Overview

Drums and rolls with a large body and small journals suit the Johnford ST-130BH: 3,050 mm (120.1 in) of Z travel, 800 mm (31.5 in) of swing over the cross slide, and a spindle that still reaches 2,000 rpm.

Such a part asks for two things at once. The body needs clearance, which the frame gives, with 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of swing over the bed. The journals are small and need speed for a good finish, and here the B spindle is better placed than the C or D versions of the same bed. The ST-130CH stops at 1,500 rpm and the ST-130DH at 1,000 rpm.

Four automatic speeds cover the spread between body and journal diameters. Power is 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp), with 30 / 37 kW (40.2 / 49.6 hp) optional, which is enough for a hollow or fabricated drum but modest for a solid forging of the same size.

X travel is 420 mm (16.5 in). The tailstock travels 2,750 mm (108.3 in) and has a Ø200 mm (7.9 in) MT#7 quill. The machine weighs 20,200 kg (44,440 lb) and measures 8,612 x 2,504 x 2,955 mm (339.1 x 98.6 x 116.3 in).

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Why choose the ST-130BH over the ST-130CH?

For speed. The ST-130BH reaches 2,000 rpm; the ST-130CH has the larger A2-15 spindle with 30 / 37 kW (40.2 / 49.6 hp) but stops at 1,500 rpm. Frame, travels and tailstock are the same.

02 What swing does the ST-130BH offer?

1,000 mm (39.4 in) over the bed and 800 mm (31.5 in) over the cross slide. Z travel is 3,050 mm (120.1 in) and X travel 420 mm (16.5 in).

03 What does the ST-130BH weigh?

20,200 kg (44,440 lb). The ST-100BH, the next size down, weighs 16,600 kg (36,520 lb), and the ST-160BH, the next size up, 24,200 kg (53,240 lb).

04 How is the far end of the part supported on the ST-130BH?

By a programmable hydraulic tailstock with a rotary Ø200 mm (7.9 in) quill, MT#7 taper and 2,750 mm (108.3 in) of travel. Manual or hydraulic self-centering steady rests are optional.
