THE DURO-A RC. FROM ROHM. DESIGNED FOR Automatic clamping on machines for changing geometries The DURO-A RC is a three-jaw chuck with through-hole and quick jaw change system, which can be clamped automatically, i.e. hydraulically by a CNC machine. RC stands for rapid change and A for automatic. It is primarily used for rotary machining of cylindrical and disk-shaped blanks with frequently changing part geometries. It outperforms similar products thanks to the very fast jaw change, short cycle times and high speeds, making it especially well suited for flexible use in automated production. The...

KEEP THE FORCE ON The power chuck with quick jaw change that has no idle stroke and therefore cuts your manufacturing costs There are quick jaw change chucks where nothing happens for the first few millimeters when opening or closing. And then REDUCING THE DEAD WEIGHT BY UP TO 6 KG there’s the DURO-A RC. Which responds immediately. The RÖHM designers have quite simply eliminated the dreaded “idle stroke”. All components are continuous engaged, which means that, when pulling or pushing, the cylinder starts to open or close the jaws immediately. And because you are interested in efficient production,...

PROVIDING UP TO 240 KN OF CLAMPING FORCE TO THE JAWS Up to 240 kN clamping force Clamping means holding things steady. And the DURO-A RC is great at doing that. With up to 240 kN, the lathe chuck holds the clamped workpieces steady. High performance. Something for your machine tool to live up to. High performance is emphasized through the minimized loss of clamping force to effects of centrifugal forces. Total clamping force kN Total clamping force kN

THE MATCHING CLAMPING CYLINDER. FROM ROHM. At ROHM, we view clamping technology as a system. A high performance lathe chuck includes an equally high performance cylinder. ROHM supplies the Forto-H cylinder without a through hole and the hollow clamping version from the Forto-HT series. The connection to the clamping cylinder is made using a tensile connection. This tensile connection is always customized and is configured based on the cylinder - clamping device - machine tool combination. We are happy to support you in designing and producing an appropriate tensile connection for your configuration....
