Diaphragm
& Finger Chucks

Speedgrip Finger Chuck

  • Distortion free / reduced workholding solution
  • Merges diaphragm one piece flex plate concentricity and repeatability with collet-style individual fingers
  • Fingers grip 360 degrees with contour compensation
  • Uses: turning / lathes
  • Conforms to part shape to remove or reduce distortion for subsequent operations

Speedgrip Diaphragm Chucks

  • Grip internally or externally by flexing action of a one piece basic plate with excellent hold and extreme accuracy
  • Diaphragm spread open or closed, ground for part size; return spring action creates grip force with excellent concentricity and repeatability
  • Designed with a flex point and controlled travel for excellent longevity
  • Grip force can be light or powerful, assisted by springs or drawbar/tube; released by return springs or drawbar/tube action
  • One piece construction for a specific part, or designed with interchangeable pads or inserts for various diameters
  • Machined with 3, 4, 6, 8, or 12 jaws for good chip escape with accuracy many times greater than a conventional 3 jaw chuck
  • Flexing action conforms somewhat to part shape to minimize chucking pressure and reduce part distortion

Applications

  • Uses: turning, drilling/milling, balancing, gear machining, grinding, inspection, and fixtures
  • Accuracy .0002-.005 T.I.R. typical for diaphragm applications
  • Excellent chip clearance
  • Adapt to most machines using available actuation or built-in actuation
  • Actuation available: manual, drawbar/tube, and built-in cylinder as required
