How It Works
To maintain precise z-axis positioning of the workpiece, the collet in a Royal Accu-Length” Collet Chuck is fixed to the body and the chuck’s closing sleeve pushes forward over the collet to compress it. The collet, and therefore the workpiece, remains fixed in the z-position.
With our I.D.Workholding System, the mandrel is fixed to the chuck body and a tapered pin is pulled back into the sleeve to expand it.
The Royal QG Combo Chuck uses a clever motion reversal adapter that converts the push-forward action of the closing sleeve to pullback motion that actuates the I.D. system via a series of hardened wedges. Simple, effective, and extremely durable!
Note- Actuator pressure may need to be adjusted to achieve optimal clamping force.
