Horizontal axis is used for long, thin cylinders and vertical axis for rings.

Because axis of centrifugal pump is horizontal.

Karan said:   10 years ago
We can also use it for casting articles having symmetry about vertical axis.

Ravi Pandey said:   9 years ago
Because gravity force is applied in same to in the direction of horizontal.

Axis, so the material is distributed are equal in all direction. So option [B] is right.

@Pandey ji, Gravity force will be equal in vertical axis shapes not in horizontal.

Suman Sourabh said:   9 years ago
To be accomodate gravity force we have use horizontal axis in centrifugal casting.

Aman Yadav said:   9 years ago
It is used for symmetrical shape about both vertical as well as the horizontal axis.

Centrifugal casting is 3 types.

True centrifugal.
Semi centrifugal.
Centrifuged casting.

Vertical centrifugal casting requires 1500 times gravitational force. It's not affordable so we can't use.

Casting machines may be either horizontal or vertical axis. Horizontal axis machines are preferred for long, thin cylinders, vertical machines for rings.
