• Customized to machine model and bore size

Material Options

Steel collets with optional carbide, copper, or POM/PVC bore linings for different wear, gripping and workpiece surface requirements.

Standard Steel

Standard steel construction for reliable and cost-effective general machining applications.

Carbide-Lined

Carbide lining provides high wear resistance and helps maintain consistent bore accuracy.

Copper-Lined

Copper lining offers a softer contact surface to help reduce marking on finished workpieces.

POM / PVC-Lined

POM or PVC lining protects delicate, polished and easily scratched workpiece surfaces.

Bore Shape Options

Custom bore configurations are available according to workpiece shape and clamping requirements.

Round Bore

Hexagon Bore

Square Bore

Step Bore

Taper Bore

Octagon Bore

Bore & Grip Options

Bore surfaces and gripping patterns can be selected according to workpiece finish, clamping force and machining requirements.

Smooth Bore

• Helps minimize clamping marks on finished or delicate workpiece surfaces
• Commonly used for sub-spindle holding, part transfer and secondary operations

Anti-Slip Groove

• Improves gripping force and helps reduce workpiece slippage
• Commonly applied to main-spindle collets with bore diameters of 8.0 mm and above

Powerful Grip

• Provides stronger gripping for demanding machining conditions
• Suitable where maximum holding force is required

Special Collet Configurations

Special collet configurations are available for extended reach, larger workpiece features and customized clamping requirements.

Conical Long-Nose Collet

Extended conical nose for applications requiring additional reach or access to restricted areas.

Straight Long-Nose Collet

Extended straight nose for applications requiring additional reach and machining clearance.

Overgrip Collet

Designed to pass over a larger head or flange and grip a smaller diameter section behind it.

S / Z Groove Collets

Special groove configurations manufactured according to the collet design and application requirements.
