Acugrip mechanical arbors and chucks are specifically engineered to give maximum rigidity when clamping components including parts with short location lengths.

The design features include solid support centre body, flanged collet with taper location and the unique ‘pull back’ action of the component onto the backstop. This concept produces a high gripping force allowing heavy rates of feed and higher speeds.

The large expansion range of up to 0,50mm (.020”) make it ideally suited to both automatic and manual loading. Actuation and release of the workholder can be via the machine drawbar, integral hydraulics, ‘fail safe’ spring or we can design a machine tool specific system. Interchangeable collets can be supplied to locate on internal and external diameters, splines and serrations. All are silicone rubber sealed to protect from the ingress of coolant and swarf.

General accuracy for this product is 0,010mm (.0004”) T.I.R. but on certain inspection applications runout and repeatability of less than 0,005mm (0.0002”) have been achieved. Adaptor plates to suit all machine tools can be supplied.
