Functionality

The MBS chuck opens for OD-clamping when the piston is moving forward, either by air pressure or by drawtube force.

The chuck closes done by the re-deformation of the elastic diaphragm, depending on cases of applications additionally provided by pneumatic or draw tube actuated movement of the piston. At this, the clamping force can get featured very sensitive and flexible.

For ID-clamping the function is reversed.

The MBS diaphragm-clamping system is consiting of following components:

  • Chuck body assembly
  • Clamping set (Diaphragm / Top jaws)

For a axial part stop, the MBS clamping system could get equipped with a part stop spider / part stop seat with mounted stop pins or stop plates.

For coolant supply through the chuck, nozzles are getting screwd-in the part stop spider. The coolant gets supplied out of the backside of the chuck to your workpiece.
