Standard Chuck Line Additions

Speedgrip Chuck Company offers the Ball Lock Power Chuck and Quick Change 3-Jaw Chuck, the latest additions to Speedgrip's portfolio of standard precision workholding mandrels, collets and general machining jaw chucks designed to reduce overall part cycle times.

Speedgrip's Ball Lock Power Chuck is a 3-jaw chuck used for inner- and outer-diameter clamping of castings and forgings and outer-diameter gripping of shafts. The chuck pulls back workpieces with tapered surfaces of up to 10° while providing an automatic radial right and left adjustable angle compliance of ± 5° with high clamping force. Ball Lock chucks are available as an adapter or direct mount and come in seven different sizes ranging from 6" to 21" and in several configurations, including a self-centering version and compensating chuck with center or plug. The chuck is also available in a 2-jaw configuration.

The Quick Change 3-Jaw Chuck with its large through-hole capacity comes with two sets of master jaws to allow offline pre-assembly of top tooling for the next job, which reduces traditional set-up time by 95%, the company reported. The presetting fixture provides ±.0005" repeatability between jaw changes and accommodates all chuck sizes that range from 6" to 24". For the Quick Change 3-Jaw Chuck, Speedgrip offers its mono block jaws. Made from a nitride material that allows hardening after forming without significant distortion, the mono block jaws' one-piece design without jaw bolt obstructions allows shops to work closer to the chuck face. The blocks are also compatible with all standard jaw chucks.

Both chucks maintain high clamping forces at high RPM with low centrifugal force loss. They are engineered and manufactured in America and available for immediate shipping.
