O.D. Diaphragm Chuck


This chuck is a 12 inch O.D. diaphragm chuck with 12 ears. This chuck is a push-pull chuck that allows the user to vary chucking pressure depending on part geometry.

The slots are sealed to eliminate any swarf to hinder chucks application. The chuck comes with 12 replaceable jaws that can chuck any part from 10 inches an below.





Custom Diaphragm Chucks  · Diaphragm Chuck Capabilities  · Competetive Advantages & Strengths

Custom Diaphragm Chucks
  • Ideal for high precision turning, grinding, milling, boring, hard turning, inspection
  • One piece construction allows for clamping on O.D., I.D., or pitch-line, thin-walled parts: No metal-on-metal moving parts, causing no wear for long-life
  • Ensures flexibility to engineers or tool designers
  • Will mount in existing machine envelope (jaw height, locator, and jaw inserts identical)
  • 3, 4 or 6 jaw designs available
  • Uniform, variable clamping forces provide a rigid design without part distortion
