Overview: This document is a technical catalog from Centaur Precision Tools, detailing various precision collet systems available in 2008. It includes specifications, features, and usage instructions for different collet systems, including RD/ER, RDG/TG, RDA/DA, RDF/AF, RDO, and 5C/R8 systems.

RD/ER Collet System:

Features: High accuracy with 16 slots for rigid clamping, wide clamping range, and versatility with interchangeability with ER and ESX type collets. Suitable for applications like drilling, milling, tapping, and reaming.
Specifications: Clamping range from 1.0 mm to 34.0 mm, precision per DIN 6499 standards, and specified maximum tightening torque for different collet sizes.
Installation and Release: Instructions emphasize proper seating in the nut for inserting and releasing collets.

Other Collet Systems:

Details on RDG/TG, RDA/DA, RDF/AF, RDO, and 5C/R8 systems, including clamping ranges and part numbers.
Additional components like collet chucks, nuts, wrenches, and tooling sets are covered.

Coolant Collets:

Internal and external coolant collets designed to direct fluid through or around the cutting tool for higher coolant volume.
Sealed collets tested for pressure resistance up to 1000 p.s.i.

Additional Notes:

High precision options available in both metric and inch sizes.
Specifications subject to change without notice.

Specifications:

RD/ER Collet Systems: Designed for improved accuracy and tool life, featuring a true single-angle design for powerful tool holding strength.
RTX Collet Systems: Four times more accurate than conventional systems, offering improved tool life, increased feed rates, and better workpiece finish.

Procedures:

Collets sealed for coolant-through applications, with pressure resistance tested to 1000 p.s.i.

Standards and Norms:

Precision per DIN 6499, with a collapse per collet of 2 mm and a capacity per set ranging from 10 to 24 mm.

Recommendations:

Use of RTX collet nuts recommended for better balance and ease of collet insertion and extraction in high-speed machining applications.

Key Data from Tables:

Collet chucks and their dimensions listed, including part numbers and compatible wrench sizes.

Critical Information:

High precision inch size, coolant, and coolant tapping collets available upon request.
Wrenches and retention knobs sold separately, with specific pages referenced for additional details.

Collet Systems:

RDG/TG Collet Systems: Include standard and internal coolant collets, with specifications for rigid tapping collets with square drive for synchronous tapping operations.
RDA/DA Collet Systems: Detailed with specifications for collapse per collet and maximum tightening torque.
RDF/AF Collet Systems: Interchangeable with Universal Acura-Flex style collets, available sealed for coolant-through applications.

Collet Sets: Detailed information on collet sets, including the number of pieces, range, and increment for each set.

Additional Components: Mentions additional components such as retention knobs and wrenches, which are sold separately.

Key Features:

Precision per DIN 6341 (0.0005 in. T.I.R.)
Sealed collets for coolant-through applications
Exact size collets with no collapse range

Precision CNC Tool Holders: Specifications and benefits of Centaur's precision CNC tool holders, including CAT (V-Flange) and BT tool holders.
