Quick Change Compensating Collet Chuck



MicroCentric Corporation has introduced a new for applications where shafts are machined between centers. The chuck features a pullback design with a floating collet seat and incorporates a mounting in the I.D. of the chuck body for centers or other types of locators.

The floating collet seat design together with vulcanized quick change collets allows the collet to compensate up to 1.5 mm (.060"). The floating collet seat is sealed and the chuck is lubricated for life requiring minimal maintenance. "The MicroCentric compensating chuck features a compact O.D. and short overall length compared to conventional compensating chucks and therefore provides greater rigidity and tool clearance," said a company spokesperson.

All components are made from hardened alloy steel which are precision ground for high accuracy and long-term performance. The chuck generates a maximum clamping force of 84 kN (18,884 lbs.) and is rated for spindle speeds up to 6,000 RPM.
