Lathe Chuck: Precision Workholding Device for Lathes

This page introduces lathe chucks, essential workholding devices for lathes that securely clamp workpieces during machining. Typically made of durable cast iron or steel, they feature jaws (e.g., three-jaw, four-jaw) to grip cylindrical or irregular shapes. Topics include chuck types, clamping mechanisms, applications in turning operations, and key performance factors like concentricity and clamping force.

Advantages of the product

Rapid Workpiece Clamping

3-jaw chucks offer self-centering clamping (accuracy ±0.02mm) for round workpieces, completing setup in <30 seconds. Suitable for high-volume production of gears, bushings, and pipe fittings.

Used for automatic centering (with an accuracy of ±0.02mm) on round workpieces that require synchronous movement of the jaws, self-centering lathe chucks (3-jaw) are the most widely utilized type. They are ideal for the rapid setup change in production, such as turning engine mounts and block pipes. Mini versions for watchmaking have a 1-20mm clamping range, while oversized models for heavy machinery manufacturing can go up to 1500mm.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does chuck design ensure high-speed stability?

Balanced designs (G2.5 at 6000rpm) and low-mass aluminum bodies reduce vibration at high speeds (up to 10,000rpm), critical for aerospace and electronics components.
