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 standard designs, or custom designs available
  • Uniform, variable clamping forces provide a rigid design without part distortion
