The MicroCentric HST High Speed Air Chucks are engineered with a titanium chuck body and utilize a patented external wedge design to maintain clamping force at high spindle speeds without the need for counterweights. This innovative design effectively minimizes the impact of centrifugal force, ensuring consistent clamping force across the chuck's rpm range. Available in standard, HS, and BP models, the HS variants feature dynamic balancing and MicroCentric's NR50 non-rotating air tube system, reducing vibration at high speeds for enhanced surface finish and roundness capabilities. With precision chuck accuracy of .0001" (0.0025mm) TIR as standard and additional options like the QC Quick Change Top Jaw System, UP Ultra Precision Option, AL Automatic Lubrication Option, and BP Back Ported Option, the MicroCentric HST High Speed Air Chucks are ideal for demanding precision machining applications.

Product Specifications

Options For Microcentric Chucks Al Automatic Lubrication Option
Lubricate the chuck with an electric pumpThe AL option allows lubricant to be supplied to the chuck through the air tube assembly during the machine cycle. This option is recom mended for unmanned machine cells and other high volume production applications.An AL chuck is equipped with a special center housing that channels the lubricant to the moving components within the chuck. The machine's way lubrication pump is typically used to also supply lubricant to the chuck.For rotating applications a rotary union must be adapted to the air tube assembly in order to provide a connection for the lubrication line. The AL Option is also available on Stationary Chucks.
Options For Microcentric Chucks Bp Back Ported Option
Air passages through the back cover provides a hole in the center of the chuckFor applications where the workpiece must be swallowed into the center of the chuck. The BP design also enables housings with part stops or parts ejectors to be mounted into the ID of the chuck.Air is typically supplied to BP chucks through the mounting plate which can be supplied with the chuck.
Options For Microcentric Chucks Qc Quick Change Top Jaw System
Patented jaw locating system reduces setup time by maintaining .0002" (0.005mm) TIR accuracy after jaw change, without remachining top jaws.MicroCentric's QC precision locating jaw system reduces setup time and increases a machine's flexibility for JIT scheduling by eliminating the time consuming process of remachining top jaws after change over. QC top jaws can also be machined "off-line" on a QC Jaw Turning Fixture or on another QC chuck.QC System Accuracies .0002" TIR when jaws are machined and replaced on the same chuck. .0008" TIR when jaws are machined on another chuck or on a QC turning fixture. QC System Features Blank QC top jaws are made from A-2 tool steel that can be hardened to Rc 60 without distorting the tapered locating holes. QC Jaw Turning fixtures are available to machine top jaws "off-line" and maximize a machine's run time. Custom hardened and ground QC top jaws can be designed for specific workpiece applications are quoted on request. QC System DesignQC top jaws are located by two tapered locating buttons that are pressed into jig ground locating holes in the chuck's base jaws. QC top jaws feature jig ground tapered locating holes that mate with the tapered locating buttons on the chuck's base jaws. Due to the close tolerances that are held on both the tapered locating buttons and locating holes, the top jaw seats on the OD of the button as well as on the face of the master jaw. This precision fit eliminates clearance and assures high locating accuracy and rigidity.
Options For Microcentric Chucks Up Ultra Precision Option
Repeating accuracy to .000050" (0.0012mm) TIRFor applications which require extremely close chucking accuracy, MicroCentric will selectively fit and certify a chuck to an accuracy of .000050" (0.001mm) or .000020" (0.0005mm) depending on model.Note that temperature variations, changes in air pressure, spindle runout, and the condition and design of top jaws will affect chuck accuracy.
