Technical Information Hydraulic Chucks Standard Styles WIDIA™ hydraulic chucks provide optimum performance for clamping full-cylindrical A safety stop prevents chuck damage caused by over-tightening either with or straight shanks, such as solid carbide drills and end mills. Activation of the chuck without the cutting tool in place. Another unique feature is the special spiral wiper is achieved by turning the piston screw, which pressurizes the hydraulic fluid and groove in the chuck’s clamping bore that securely grips oily tool shanks. All WIDIA exerts force on a thin-walled membrane along the length of the clamping bore. hydraulic chucks utilize a range of sealed, cutting-tool-reducing sleeves to maximize This highly concentric clamping force not only holds the tool shank more securely, chuck versatility. Reducing sleeves can also be used for converting bores from inch but also produces a dampening effect that reduces vibration and helps eliminate to metric and vice versa. microcracking on cutting edges. Slim Line Standard/HP Line Slim Line hydraulic chucks have a sophisticated shape for universal application Our proven Standard Line hydraulic chucks have an external adjustment screw and maximum precision. After the chucking process, safety is guaranteed if a for radial alteration up to 3/8" of the cutting-tool length. This feature eliminates minimum clamping force or a transmittable torque (determined according to the need to remove the cutting tool or retention knob to make fine adjustments. the clamping diameter) is reached. This is achieved through the clamping screw Standard Line chucks are prebalanced and can also be used with SEFAS™ operation and the stroke of the clamping piston that force the hydraulic oil chamfering rings. Please see the toolholder sections of this catalog for into the thin-walled expansion chamber with high pressure. information regarding balancing quality. Trend Line Basic Line New Trend Line hydraulic chucks offer maximum precision at an attractive price. Basic Line hydraulic chucks have a high-quality runout specification of .0001. This system provides the same accuracy specifications as the Standard Line These chucks are balanced-by-design for speeds up to 10,000 RPM. Like the except with an axial back-up screw through the chuck bore to achieve the 3/8" Trend Line, Basic Line chucks utilize an axial back-up screw through the radial adjustment of the cutting tool length. SEFAS chamfering rings also can be chuck bore to achieve a 3/8" radial adjustment. Larger body diameters give used with our Trend Line chucks. this chuck a higher torque transmission (grip) of 220 ft. lbs. Please note that the standard SEFAS chamfering ring cannot be used in this chuck design. K60 WWW.WIDIA.COM Technical Information
