HYDRAULIC EXPANSION CHUCKS

Modern machining processes place heavy demands ful tool clamping and precise concentricity. A safe and on tool holding. Hydraulic expansion chucks provide powerful fit is guaranteed.

  • precise tool clamping with a maximum 3 μm deviation from concentricity
  • transmission of high torque through (excellent clamping) optimised bush clamping system
  • high speed compatibility (no centrifugal forces from clamping segments)
  • precise concentricity, therefore excellent surface quality and dimensional accuracy of the workpiece
  • rapid tool change thanks to simple operation of the clamping screw
  • optimal tool life
  • hydraulic cushioning has vibration absorbing effect
