Overview: The PPC Series Precision Power Chucks by MicroCentric are engineered for high accuracy and rigidity, making them ideal for precision finishing operations such as hard turning, sub spindles, and grinding. These chucks feature a dual actuator design, known for superior concentricity, which helps reduce scrap rates and cycle times while increasing production capacity.
Key Features:
  • Accuracy: Achieves up to 0.0001" TIR for radial and lateral runout.
  • QC Precision Change Jaw System: Allows for quick jaw changes with minimal runout, enhancing setup efficiency.
  • Various Models: Available in different sizes (110mm, 165mm, 210mm, 250mm, 300mm) with 2 or 3 jaw configurations.
  • Durability: Hardened chuck body, actuators, and master jaws ensure long-term performance.
Specifications:
  • PPC110D: 4.33" diameter, 1.063" through hole, max speed 6,000 rpm.
  • PPC165D: 6.45" diameter, 1.375" through hole, max speed 5,000 rpm.
  • PPC210D: 8.25" diameter, 2.050" through hole, max speed 4,500 rpm.
  • PPC250D: 10.00" diameter, 2.600" through hole, max speed 3,500 rpm.
  • PPC300D106: 12.00" diameter, 4.170" through hole, max speed 2,800 rpm.
Accessories: Standard accessories include a blank draw tube adapter. Additional items like blank top jaws, chuck lubricant, and grease guns are available separately. Threaded draw tube adapters and spindle mounting plates can be requested.
Conclusion: MicroCentric's PPC Series offers precision and efficiency for manufacturers seeking to improve workpiece quality and production efficiency. The series is adaptable to various operational needs with its range of models and accessories.
Specifications and Dimensions: The document provides detailed dimensions and specifications for various spindle nose models and chuck models. Key dimensions include closed, mid-stroke, and open positions for different models, with measurements provided in both inches and millimeters.
Product Models: The document lists multiple product models such as PPC110D, PPC165D, PPC210D, PPC250D, and PPC300D, each with specific configurations like QC (Quick Change) and DP (Direct Pressure). Each model is associated with specific dimensions and weights.
Materials and Construction: Blank QC Top Jaws are made from A-2 tool steel, precision jig bored for accurate location, and can be heat treated to a hardness of up to Rc 62. Special QC Top Jaws are available upon request.
Lubrication and Maintenance: Kluber ALTEMP Q NB 50 is the recommended lubricant for PPC chucks, enhancing sliding characteristics and preventing stick-slip. It is resistant to oils and water-soluble cutting fluids. The document also describes grease guns suitable for different chuck models.
Loading Rings: Loading rings are used to set the chuck in a clamping position for machining top jaws. CR loading rings are for OD clamping, while LR loading rings are for ID clamping.

MicroCentric The World’s Most Accurate Power Chuck Improve productivity and lower costs by enhancing workpiece quality . . . . . . Radial Runout Lateral Runout through accurate and repeatable workholding. Manufacturers that are able to maintain close concentricity across a workpiece's operation sequence benefit from lower scrap rates, reduced cycle times, and increased production capacity. By holding close tolerances and minimizing the amount of material left for finishing operations, you not only reduce your cost per part, but you end up with more parts produced at the end of each shift. The...

QC Precision Change Jaw Locating System Patented precision change jaw locating system reduces setup time by maintaining .0002” (0.005mm) runout after changing top jaws. MicroCentric’s QC system saves valuable set up time up by eliminating the remachining of top jaws or indicating in the chuck in order to maintain close workpiece concentricity. PPC chucks are qualified so jaws can be changed between chucks and maintain .0008” (0.02mm) TIR runout. Tapered QC Locating Buttons • .0002" (0.005mm ) TIR max runout when top jaws finished and replaced on same chuck • .0008" (.02mm) TIR max runout when...

Chuck Jaw Model Blank QC Top Jaws are made from A-2 tool steel. The tapered locating holes are precision jig bored for accurate location. QC jaws can be heat treated with minimal distortion to a hardness up to Rc 62. Special QC Top Jaws including blank pie-shaped jaws are quoted upon request. Turning Fixture Model QC jaw turning fixtures simulate the locating pattern of a QC chuck. They are used to rough machine Blank QC Top Jaws off-line to maximize a machine's production capacity. The clamping position of the jaw turning fixture is set in the middle of the chuck's stroke. Other positions are...

Grease Guns Model Quantity Manufacturer ALTEMP Q NB 50/08080 gram tubeKluber ALTEMP Q NB 50/600600 gram cartridge Kluber ALTEMP Q NB 50/750750 gram cartridge Kluber Kluber ALTEMP Q NB 50 is the recommended lubricant for PPC chucks. ALTEMP Q NB 50 is a white lubricating paste containing a mineral base oil, a barium complex soap and inorganic solid lubricants. This lubricant has been found to improve the sliding characteristics of moving chuck components and enabling constant clamping force. It prevents stick-slip and protects against fretting and tribo-corrosion in frictional or positive connections....
