The hollow taper shank (HSK) has become popular since its standardization as an interface between machine spindle and tool.
HSK benefits to the user include:
Pramet HSK-toolholders are generally pre-balanced to G 6.3/15,000 rev./min. Fine balancing on request is possible.
| Because the rotational speed is the largest | following r.p.m. limits for HSK interfaces have | ||
| influencing factor together with the limits regar- | been recommended as guidelines within the HSK | ||
| ding the spindle or spindle bearing interface, the | standards: | ||
| HSK-A 63 to 25,000 rev./min | |||
| HSK-A 100 to 16,000 rev./min | |||
| Depending on the tool, it may be necessary to if machine and spindle manufacturers are taken into | |||
| balance both the tool holder and tool when applying | consideration and it is possible to define tools and | ||
| the maximum r.p.m. Exact limits can only be deter mined | projecting lengths. |
