Large Single Taper I.D. Collet Chuck


This chuck was designed to balance (3) different sizes of brake drums. This is an 18 inch chuck that had to be able to withstand a .25 inch deep milling cut for balance correction. By using quick change jaw inserts on the collet, part change over was done by replacing the jaw inserts, not the entire collet.

By using our latest CAD and CAE software we were able to determine if the chuck could handle that depth of cut. This chuck had a built in air cylinder with springs to clamp the part. The chuck repeated within .0005.





OD/ID Collet Chuck Features  · Competetive Advantages & Strengths

OD/ID Collet Chuck Features

Single Taper Collets
• Ideal for chucking on O.D. or I.D. of part
• Allows for chucking on narrower chucking lands
• Does not accommodate tapered chucking surfaces
• Split from one end or split from both ends
• Part does not have to be inside entire chucking land
• Can be threaded on one end to attach to piston or draw bar

Double Taper Collets
• Ideal for chucking O.D. or I.D. of part in two places
• Allows for chucking on tapered parts or where the bore is not perfectly straight
• Split from each end allowing for opposite sides to be independent of each other
• Extra rigidity by chucking on two locations of a part

Features
• Holds internal diameters of part when outside diameter cannot be held
• Used to hold outer diameters as needed
• Part stops designed for repeatability: Air Sensing available to determine if part is loaded correctly
• Repeatability < .0002
• Collets Preloaded: Anti-rotate incorporated so collet does not spin
