Overview

Discover excellence through Speedgrip's diverse features and coatings, ranging from versatile designs like chamfering to coatings that provide unparalleled wear resistance, part protection, and corrosion resistance.

Chamfer & Steps - Collets can be chamfered or stepped to provide part and/or tool clearance.
Tapered - Collet OD or grip area can be tapered up to 7 degrees to match part and hold effectively.
Splined - Tooth configuration can be ground on the OD or in the ID for gripping the pitch diameter of the part.

Carbide - Applied to grip surface of collet (ID or OD gripping); creates a sandpaper type of finish. Significantly reduces slippage of parts. Can also be applied to workstop surface. Is approx. .003 build-up per side, hardness is R/C 70 scale, wear resistant, and can be reapplied.
Diamond - Similar results as carbide but is extremely wear resistant.
Urethane - Molded directly to grip surface (ID or OD gripping) and greatly reduces marking of highly finished part surfaces. Various durometers are available (90 "red"). Clear/natural is harder and reduces embedding of chips and grit. Can also absorb irregularities in bores for improved machining results.
Copper - Deposited to grip surface of collet to reduce marking of part similar to urethane coating properties. Can be used to reduce sticking of splatter in welding applications.
TiN Titanium Nitride - Gold finish that resists wear and has corrosive resistant properties.
Black Oxide - General black finish with corrosive resistant properties.
