^ MicroCeritric Precision Workholding Technology High Precision Diaphragm Chucks

Improving the quality and efficiency of secondary machining operations . . . . through high workpiece concentricity, and reliable chuck performance. For thirty years MicroCentric has supplied innovative chucking products to the metalworking industry according to this principle. The MBS high precision Diaphragm Chucks are the latest advance of MicroCentric's workholding technology. MBS chucks are available in both self-contained and draw tube operated designs. All models are double acting, meaning they are capable of both OD and ID clamping, and are available for rotating and stationary applications....

MicroCentric Table of Contents MBS-L Air Operated Rotating Chucks - page 3 MBS-L models are a self-contained design with built-in air cylinder for rotating applications. Air is supplied to MBS/L chucks by a rotating air tube assembly mounted inside the machine spindle. MBS/L chucks are available in sizes from 3 to 12 inch diameter. MBS-Z Draw Tube Actuated Chucks - page 5 MBS/Z models are actuated by either a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder mounted to the rear of the machine spindle. MBS/Z chucks are a modular design that includes a spindle adapter and threaded draw tube connector. MBS/Z chucks...

MicroCentric MBS/L Air Operated Diaphragm Chucks Design Self-contained design with built-in air cylinder. Air is supplied to the chuck by a multi passage air tube assembly with a rotary coupling. Coolant through the spindle capability is standard. Application OD and ID chucking for cylindrical grinding, turning, and hard turning. Ideal for workpieces requiring high concentricity, and/or close roundness. Ideal for fragile parts which are easily distorted, and applications requiring high spindle speeds.

MicroCentric MBS/N Stationary Diaphragm Chucks Design Self-contained design with built-in air cylinder. Air ports are located on the side of the chuck body for stationary use. Application OD and ID chucking for milling, drilling, inspection, or any other nonrotating application requiring high concentricity and/or close workpiece roundness. The inherent spring characteristic of the diaphragm allows workpieces to be clamped without continuous air supply for pallet and tombstone applications.

No. Jaws Diameter Height 3" MMR-80-6 MMR diaphragms are used with SMR series top jaws which are bolted on from the rear of the diaphragm. This eliminates the possibility of having an interrupted clamping diameter since there are no counter-bored mounting holes in the top jaws. MMR diaphragms are also available in 2, 3, and 8 jaw configurations. ASS part stop spiders are mounted to the face of the diaphragm, underneath the top jaws. They are machined for locating pins or other part stops to be mounted to the stop spider for end location of the workpiece.

Chuck Size Model No. Diameter Height Material Weight SMR blank top jaws are used with MMR diaphragms. They are machined on the chuck to suit the workpiece. Refer to MicroCentric's operating manual for detailed instructions on the design and preparation of finished top jaws. Blanks jaws can be hardened after rough machining, and then finish ground on the chuck. Blank jaws are available in other configurations and materials. Contact our sales department for information on custom hardened and ground top jaws.

MicroCentric MBS Chuck Accessories Rotating Air Tubes Air tube assemblies are used with MBS/L chuck models. The rotary air coupling features a hardened steel journal and a maintenance free oil-lite bearing. Rotary air tubes include a blank support bushing, air hoses and fittings. Length to be specified when ordering. Contact our sales department for assistance in determining the correct length for your application.

HV operating valves are three position manually operated pneumatic valves that direct air flow to open and close MicroCentric air chucks. Each HV valve includes air hoses and fittings required for installation. Model Fitting Size Max Pressure Air Tube Model The FRL-15 is a combination air filter/regulator/lubricator unit that controls the air pressure to the chuck's built-in cylinder, and provides lubrication to the rotary air bearing assembly. This unit also filters contaminants from the air supply. Water that accumulates in the filter unit can be purged by a manual drain. Each unit includes...
