EXTERNAL COLLET CHUCK OVERVIEW
Northfield Collet Chucks provide simple workholding applications for a variety of part sizes that require a significant amount of clamp force. Northfield Collet Chucks use the same adapter, rotary union, and air tube as our precision air chucks and diaphragm chucks. It is easier to change collet sizes and adjust grip force for different applications with a Northfield Collet Chuck than it is for most hydraulic style collet chucks.
INTERNAL COLLET CHUCK OVERVIEW
Northfield has a custom line of internal collet grip chucks available. These chucks are specifically designed for custom applications, allowing a delicate or aggressive part holding technique with the same accuracy as an external grip collet chuck.
For any custom chucks, contact Northfield Engineering staff for additional information.
• Air Actuated - Air driven actuation is easier and cleaner than hydraulic actuation because it does not require a hydraulic pump, which means more control with the grip force - allowing a range of aggressive to delicate part gripping. It's also simpler to set up.
• Additional Actuation Options - There are multiple ways to power the Northfield Precision Air chuck including spring clamp- air open, or air clamp-spring open. Plus, other custom actuation applications upon request.
• External Grip (Accepts Standard Collets) - Collet jaws are screwed inside the internal diameter and accept the standard industry collets: 3C, 5C, 16C, 3J, 25C, any other types.
