Mechanical Arbors and Chucks with Enhanced Expansion Rates



"Mytec has introduced its line of mechanical arbors and chucks with accuracy down to .0004 inch plus expansion rates up to .010 inch or greater in a stainless steel construction. Mechanical arbors and chucks are designed for workholding where high forces are incurred or auto load applications where high clearance is required," said a company spokesperson.

Using hydraulic expansion elements, a clamping system has been developed with greater precision, clamping force and in transferred torque.

"A closed expansion system combined with high wear resistance guarantees a long service life," said the spokesperson. If space permits, Hydra expansion elements from Mytec-Hydraclamp are generally equipped with an adjustment piston. This makes it possible to set expansion for fine clamping, particularly in the case of thin-walled workpieces, so deformation can be avoided. Tools have a hardness of 56 HRC with a center hardness of 64 HRC. An optional highly wear-resistant coating may be applied which will result in a surface hardness of 80 HRC.
