A Pneumatic Rotary Jaw Type Chuck is an air-operated, rotating chuck used on CNC lathes and turning centers for fast, repeatable, and accurate clamping.
It uses 2-jaw, 3-jaw, or 4-jaw mechanisms and is ideal for high-speed production, where short cycle time and automation compatibility are critical.
The chuck rotates with the spindle and is actuated through compressed air via a rotary air union.
Key Advantages
• Very fast clamping & unclamping
• Rotary design for high-RPM machining
• Good concentricity & repeatability
• Automation-ready (robot / gantry / bar feeder)
• Low maintenance & simple construction
• Available in 2-jaw / 3-jaw / 4-jaw options
Working Principle
• Compressed air enters through a rotary air union
• Internal pneumatic piston moves
• Piston drives the jaw mechanism
• Jaws clamp the component firmly
• Air release opens jaws instantly
Ensures quick, repeatable clamping for mass production.
