Quick-Grip CNC Collet Chucks

Quick-Grip CNC Collet Chucks are designed to provide advantages in installation, gripping range and changing speed.

"During installation, a special installation tool compresses the rear end of the collet so that it can be inserted," said a Royal Products spokesperson. "Upon expansion, the collet locks into place via a hook and groove arrangement.

"Another advantage offered by the Quick-Grip system is the 1/16 inch gripping range of the collets. This is possible because each segment of a Quick-Grip collet is completely separated from the other segments by a vulcanized rubber spacer. This design allows for parallel gripping of the workpiece over the entire closing range, providing an advantage over spring-type collets."

The installation tool incorporates steel pins that align with drilled holes on the collet face. When these pins engage, the face holes and the trigger on the tool are actuated and the collet becomes temporarily compressed. In its compressed state, the collet can then be inserted into the collet chuck, where the hooks on the rear of the collet segments become axially aligned with a retaining groove in the chuck. Releasing the installation tool allows the collet to spring open, seating the hooks in the groove and drawing the matching ID/OD tapers into full, positive contact, completing a "10-Second Collet Change."

"In addition to the 10-Second Change feature, Quick-Grip Collet Chucks have a full collapse range of 0.062 inch, which is wider than conventional spring collets," said the spokesperson. "Also, Quick-Grip Collet Chucks tend to be shorter than their spring-type counterparts."

Quick-Grip Collet Chucks are available in capacities from 1-5/8" up to 3-1/8".
