A Pull Stud Collet is a precision retention component used in CNC tool holders to securely engage the pull stud (retention knob) with the machine’s drawbar.
It ensures reliable tool clamping, safe high-RPM operation, and accurate tool positioning in BT, CAT, HSK, and ISO tool holder systems.
Key Features
- 🔒 Positive, secure tool retention
- 🎯 Maintains tool concentricity & repeatability
- ⚡ Suitable for high-speed machining
- 🛡️ High fatigue strength & wear resistance
- 🛠️ Long service life with hardened construction
- 🔁 Consistent engagement for automatic tool change (ATC)
