Royal’s line of I.D. Workholding Systems provides a wide range of off-the-shelf solutions for many common turning, milling, and grinding applications.
Our unique modular design covers a standard gripping range from 0.5” to 3.25”, with specials available up to 25”. Sleeves offer parallel expansion for maximum rigidity, and accuracy is guaranteed to ± 0.0005” TIR.
I.D. Workholding Advantages:
- Allows for full access to the entire length of the workpiece so all external diameters can be turned in a single operation, guaranteeing perfect concentricity.
- On sub-spindle machines, I.D. gripping on the second spindle eliminates the risk of surface damage that can be caused by second-op O.D. gripping of a previously-turned diameter.
- For many parts, the engagement-length of an I.D. bore can be greater than what is available for O.D. gripping, resulting in superior rigidity and torque transmission.
- I.D. systems tend to be more streamlined than O.D. systems, enabling better part access – especially important for use on machines with live tooling.
CNC I.D. Body Assembly:
- This body provides a precision interface for mounting the system to a CNC lathe spindle.
- CNC body assembly incudes the hardened steel body, a custom-machined drawtube for hassle-free installation, and all mounting hardware.
- Order mandrels, locators, and sleeves separately.

How to Order:
- Choose the appropriate body assembly based upon your application.
- Choose the appropriate mandrel (models A-E) based upon the diameter you need to All mandrels and bodies share a common mounting interface for full interchangeability.
- If required, choose the appropriate part locator to provide a ground banking surface for the workpiece.
- Choose the appropriate expanding sleeve based upon the mandrel and diameter you need to grip.
Bolt & Go™
Royal’s exclusive Bolt & Go™ mounting feature ensures maximum accuracy and rigidity with no adjusting required. Other systems require the mandrel to be trammed in – a hassle that wastes valuable machining time.
Oversized Flange
Z-Axis Repeatability
Pullback action draws the workpiece securely against a ground locating plate for maximum “dual-contact” rigidity and consistent z-axis repeatability.
Easy Installation
Royal CNC I.D. Workholding Systems include all mounting hardware, wrenches, and a custom-machined drawtube connector to ensure hassle-free installation.
Heavy-Duty Construction
Same-Day Shipping
Custom Systems
- Larger sizes – up to 25″ diameter
- Extended-length systems
- Multi-step systems for locating on multiple bore diameters
- Automation enhancements such as ejector rings, part confirmation, etc.
Ultra-Precision Accuracy
System runout guaranteed to be 0.0005″ TIR or better.
Modular Design
Wide Gripping Range
Parallel-Grip
Royal’s double-angle design provides parallel sleeve expansion, ensuring full-length part contact and positive release when the part is unclamped.
Outstanding Tool Clearance
Completely Sealed
All expanding sleeve slots are sealed to prevent contaminants from accumulating on the mandrel surface – ensuring years of trouble-free service. An internal O-ring on the drawtube connector offers additional protection.
