RUBBER-FLEX® COLLETS
Jacobs® Rubber-Flex® collets outperform conventional split-steel collets in gripping power, accuracy and durabilty.
Unique in design and operation, the Jacobs® Rubber-Flex®
Collet can generate two to three times the gripping power of a
conventional split-steel collet.
Gripping force is uniform and parallel throughout the collet
contact length and not concentrated at the nose or back as is
frequently in the with split-steel collets ( see illustration
below). Construction is of durable synthetic rubber compound permanently
bonded to hardened steel jaw insert surfaces and through-hole.
It is unaffected by heat, coolants and cutting compound and retains
its flexibility over a long service life as compared to spring
tempered metal designs.
Conventional split-steel collets provide maximum gripping efficiency only at actual bored or nominal capacity. They loose parallelism when chucking bars even a few thousandths over or under this capacity. This significantly reduces gripping strength and accuracy. |
Rubber-Flex® Collets exert uniform gripping pressure throughout the collet contact length (within individual collet capacity ranges) regardless of bar tolerance deviations |
Features
Parallel jaw insert surfaces exert uniform, accurate
gripping force up to three times greater than can be achieved
with split-steel collets
Each collet accepts and precisely centers a wide range
of both decimal or metric diameters
(within individual capacity ranges) to speed setups and increase
machining productivity
Durable one-piece construction.. Synthetic rubber retains
flexibility and resists deterioration from heat, coolants and
cutting compounds
Steel jaw inserts precision ground (after molding process)
to assure maximum gripping accuracy (parallelism)> Hardened
for greater wear resistance than split-steel collets
Each collet bore is held concentric to the O.D. tapers,
both front and back, to minimize TIR
Automatically seals tool O.D. to permit coolant flow through
tool reducing wear
Seals collets and machine spindles to protect from abrasive
particles and swarf
Lathe Chuck Collets
Collets JAC.J910, JAC.J911 and JAC.J912 have a contact length
of .90" (23 mm) All other lathe chuck collets have full length contact |
