Spring Collets are perishable tools used for securing workpieces during processing or fixing cutting tools. They are an essential component of machinery and conveyance systems.
A Spring Collet consists of a collet and associated devices, which enable the opening and closing of the workholding device, allowing for the clamping and unclamping of workpieces. Spring Collets are closely associated with CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining, as they are employed in CNC machine tools for securing workpieces and cutting tools, facilitating high-precision automated machining.
These tools come in various types, varying in size, clamping methods, and clamping force. As you can see on the top page of Spring Collets, there are various-shaped collets used to secure workpieces or cutting tools.
Unlike three-jaw or four-jaw chucks, Spring Collets secure workpieces by utilizing the flexing slots of the collet, applying minimal localized pressure to achieve strong clamping without compromising the integrity of the workpiece’s clamping area.
