MicroCentric Collet Chucks for Shaft Applications

Product catalog summary

Overview: This document provides technical specifications and descriptions of MicroCentric's precision workholding technology, specifically focusing on collet chucks for shaft applications.

Compensating Collet Chucks: These chucks feature a floating collet seat that compensates up to 0.020 inches (0.5mm). A center or part locator is mounted to the locator plate inside the chuck body. Radial adjusting screws on the outer diameter (OD) of the chuck allow for alignment with the machine center line, ensuring precision.

Key Components:

Ball race with wear ring
Compensating collet seat
Morse taper center
Morse taper locator plate
Radial adjusting screws

Retractable Collet Chucks: These chucks are designed for machining shafts. A face driver mounted inside the chuck drives the shaft to turn a clamping diameter on the OD of the shaft. When actuated, the collet moves forward to clamp the turned diameter, allowing for secure clamping during remaining machining operations.

Key Features:

Collet retracted and clamping shaft
O-ring to seal ID of collet
Face driver with spring-loaded center
Replaceable cap with drive blades
