High speed chuck HSC-L

HSC high speed air chucks feature a patented external wedge design to actuate the master jaws. This wedge ring design minimizes the effects of centrifugal force without using counterweights.  Spindle speeds up to 10,000
r.p.m. are possible.

HSC chucks have a consistent holding force throughout the chuck's full r.p.m. range from low to high jaw force. 

The HSC chucks are especially suited for applications in the critical range between 2,000 and 5,000 r.p.m. These are the spindle speeds at which the majority of precision parts are turned so that the constant holding force is a big advantage.

Tests in the field have confirmed that HSC chucks maintain a greater percentage o their static chucking force at these and higher speeds, that do conventional and counterweighted high speed chucks.

Another important benefit of the HSC design, unlike counterweighted chucks, is that holding force does not increase beyond the original static grip force when the machine spindle is stopped.

  • *Max. clamping force at 7 bar air pressure (3-jaw chuck)
  • **Max. rpm is influenced by the weight of top jaws and the air pressure. On all models without additional option-HS the speed is limited because of the air tube version 50. On very short air tubes, speed analog to HSC-L-xx-HS is possible.
