SPECIAL EXPANDING COLLET CHUCK

A Special Expanding Collet Chuck is a custom-designed internal workholding solution that grips hollow, thin-wall, or delicate components from the inside diameter. Engineered to match specific component requirements, it provides uniform expansion, distortion-free clamping, and high concentricity, making it ideal where external clamping is not possible or may cause deformation.

A Special Expanding Collet Chuck is a custom-designed internal clamping (ID clamping) workholding device used to hold hollow, thin-wall, or delicate components from the inside diameter.
Unlike standard expanding chucks, special expanding collet chucks are engineered specifically for the component, ensuring uniform expansion, distortion-free clamping, and high concentricity.

They are ideal for applications where external clamping is not possible or may deform the part.


Applications

Special Expanding Collet Chucks are widely used in:

  • CNC Turning of bushes, sleeves & pipes
  • Thin-wall & precision hollow components
  • Automotive & engineering parts
  • Hydraulic & pneumatic components
  • Bearing housings & cylindrical shells
  • Facing, OD turning, boring & grinding operations
  • Mass production & automated CNC lines

Key Features

  • Uniform 360° internal expansion
  • Distortion-free clamping for thin-wall parts
  • High concentricity & repeatability
  • Designed as per component drawing or sample
  • Suitable for manual, pneumatic & hydraulic actuation
  • Hardened & precision-ground expanding segments
  • Fast loading/unloading, reduced cycle time
  • Long service life with stable clamping force

Working Principle

The expanding collet chuck operates by axial movement of a draw bar or hydraulic piston, which forces the expanding segments outward.
This creates even radial pressure inside the bore, securely holding the component without ovality or surface damage.
