Overview
- Speedgrip acquired the face driver line by Madison over twenty years ago, adding it to our already substantial line of workholding.
- A full line of in-stock Morse taper and flange mount drivers, center points, and pins of various sizes and styles are available for immediate delivery.
- Max-Life pins for durability and longevity are available in many styles and sizes.
OD Machining Advantages
- When machining spindles, shafts, and bars, a face driver is an excellent way to hold the part for complete machining of the OD in one operation.
- This eliminates the initial turning operation in a 3-jaw chuck typically needed.
- All turned or ground diameters naturally are more concentric to each other as they are machined in one operation.
How It Works
- With a center in each end of the part, the face driver's center point enters the part and a series of pins, adjusting for out-of-square faces, begin to penetrate the part about 0.040" (one millimeter) deep.
- The tailstock engaged on the opposite end provides the force to seat the pins properly for drive.
- Adequate tailstock pressure is essential for effective use and performance of the driver.
Custom Solutions
- Custom drivers for applications requiring solid ring or driving head designs are built for your specific parts, providing the drive, tool clearance, and features you need.
- Upon receipt of part and machining information, a quote drawing is submitted as well as a fully design approval drawing for your review and verification.
Applications
- Face drivers are very versatile and can accommodate a variety of diameters, materials, and operations.
- Used for turning large valve bodies, steel and aluminum billets, small parts such as drills and taps, and forgings such as pinion gears.
- Can be used for rough turning, finishing, hobbing, shaping, spline milling, and grinding.
