Royal MTC™ Multi-Tasking Chuck
A True All-in-One CNC Lathe Chuck
The Royal MTC™ is a Revolutionary 3-Jaw Chuck, Collet Chuck, and I.D. Workholding System All-in-One
No Need to Ever Change Your Chuck Again
Switching your lathe workholding as jobs demand can be a difficult process and eats up valuable production time. But no longer! With the Royal MTC™ it’s a snap to change over between:
- 3-Jaw Chuck
- Quick-Grip™ CNC Collet Chuck
- I.D. Workholding System
- And much more…
Converting Between Jaw/Collet/I.D. Applications Takes Just Minutes and is Accomplished by Simply Swapping the Quick-Change Center Hub. The Chuck Body Never Needs to be Removed from the Lathe Spindle!
Royal MTC™ Advantages
- The Royal MTC™ Multi-Tasking Chuck is the only chuck you’ll ever need for your CNC lathes.
- This is a true all-in-one workholding device designed to handle large diameter parts, small diameter parts, and
parts suited for I.D. gripping. - The key to this revolutionary all-in-one design is the quick-change center hubs – there is no need to ever remove the
chuck body from the lathe spindle. - The center hubs are hardened, precision ground, and TiN coated for exceptional accuracy and wear resistance.
- Extreme rigidity is achieved through a common-sense design based upon a 3-jaw chuck with collet and I.D.
capabilities - not a collet chuck with a heavy jaw-chuck hanging off the front end. - Faster and much more cost-effective than changing out various chucks or using a “quick-change” adapter plate
system that requires a crane and staging cart. - High accuracy - jaw repeatability is 0.0002” - 0.0003”, and collet hub taper is guaranteed to be with 0.0003” TIR.
- All chuck bodies are relief milled to optimize tool clearance and reduce rotational mass.
- Available in 8”, 10”, 12”, and 15” sizes
- All Royal MTC™ Multi-Tasking Chucks include the following:
- A 3-Jaw chuck featuring industry standard 60°x1.5mm base jaws to accept a wide array of
top jaws. - A Quick-Grip™ center hub hardened and precision ground to accept Royal QG Collets.
- A thru-hole center hub to accommodate long-parts when using as a jaw chuck.
- A center cap to block chips from entering the drawtube when using the jaw chuck for slug work.
- A removeable internal workstop for use with both jaws and collets.
- A grease gun and tube of chuck grease.
- A custom-machined drawtube connector for hassle-free installation.
- A 3-Jaw chuck featuring industry standard 60°x1.5mm base jaws to accept a wide array of
- Two-jaw chucks, face drivers, Morse Taper adapters, and alternative collet adapters (5C, 3J, etc.) are also available as special order.
- The center hub for I.D. work is sold separately and is compatible with all Royal I.D. mandrels, stops, and sleeves.

*Price includes a hardened and ground backplate up to 3” long. If your machine requires an extended backplate, we will advise and quote a special plate.
Additional Accessories
- The center hub for I.D. workholding is designed with a 75mm recess and is compatible with all Royal I.D. mandrels and sleeves (see full catalog for details).
- If you currently use a different brand of I.D. workholding, it may be possible for Royal to supply a custom center hub that would enable its use with the MTC – contact us to discuss.
- The lifting/installation tool is highly recommended for fast and easy installation. This device affixes to the chuck body in the same manner as the center hubs do, balancing the chuck’s mass and enabling it to be easily threaded onto the machine’s drawtube.

Warning: While the static clamping force of all three-jaw chucks is a function of the machine’s hydraulic actuator (piston surface area, input pressure, etc.), it is essential to understand that the dynamic clamping force acting on a workpiece is affected by additional factors such as rpm and top jaw weight. This graph represents the maximum dynamic clamping force of all Royal MTC™ chuck models throughout the stated rpm range.
Be sure to understand the relationship between input pressure and drawtube axial force for your machine’s specific hydraulic actuator and ensure that all relevant parameters are sufficient to keep workpieces safely clamped. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the safe use of this product, please contact a Royal Products applications engineer at 1-800-645-4174 before use.

What to Know Before you Order
In addition to the safety considerations regarding actuator force and drawtube stroke, Royal may also require some specific dimensional information for your lathe to ensure that we supply the correct backplate and drawtube connector.
We maintain an extensive machine tool database populated with thousands of actuator and drawtube specs, but sometimes changes/substitutions are made to the machine that we aren’t aware of. For safety purposes and to ensure a hassle-free installation experience, the information requested below may need to be supplied with your MTC™ order. If you have any questions, please contact a Royal Products applications engineer at 1-800-645-4174.
SPINDLE NOSE WITH CHUCK REMOVED
Note:
A drawtube sometimes unscrews from the actuator when the 3-jaw chuck is removed. Make sure drawtube is fully screwed in before taking dimensions.
