FlexC™ Vulcanized Collet Systems

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Hardinge FlexC Collet Systems are designed for CNC lathes, offering flexibility and precision without compromise. They are compatible with A2-5, A2-6, A2-8, and some flat-back spindle noses, available in pull-back thru-hole, pull-back dead-length, and push-to-close dead-length styles.
Machine Compatibility and Flexibility: The system allows for a single spindle mount to accommodate various part diameters by interchanging vulcanized collet heads. It supports bar stock variations with a gripping range of ±.020" (.5mm) without changing the collet.
Accuracy: Hardinge guarantees accuracy within .0004" (.010mm) TIR for models A and D, and .0008" (.020mm) TIR for style DL.
True Parallel Gripping: The design ensures parallel clamping, minimizing stock push-back and requiring less draw bar force.
Speed and Precision: Manufactured in the USA, the FlexC systems are made using high-precision equipment and a proven heat treat process for durability.
Productivity Enhancement: The FlexC system allows for increased spindle RPM and faster machining times compared to traditional jaw chucks, enhancing productivity.
Manufacturing Process: The collet segments are vulcanized into a one-piece unit, providing elasticity and resistance to coolant, ensuring long life and preventing chip entry.
Custom Manufacturing: Standard collets are available in various shapes, with custom manufacturing options for special applications.
Additional Features: Emergency collets are available for immediate use, and the system is compatible with competitor models.
Ordering and Support: Hardinge provides a drawbar linkup order form for custom applications and offers support through various contact methods.
