Precision 5C Collet (Round, Hex, Square) | For Lathes & Grinding Fixtures

[Product Overview]

The 5C Collet is one of the most popular workholding solutions worldwide, widely used in lathes, milling machines, grinders, and indexing fixtures. Its design allows for the gripping of bar stock through the spindle (up to 1-1/16" or 27mm diameter) or holding short workpieces with high precision. It features external threads for the drawbar and internal threads for positioning stops, making it incredibly versatile for both production and toolroom environments.

[Key Features & Advantages]

• Versatile Bore Shapes: We manufacture 5C collets in Round (1/16" to 1-1/8"), Hexagon, and Square shapes to hold various types of stock material securely.

• High Precision & Runout: Precision ground on all critical surfaces (body, taper, and bore) to ensure excellent concentricity (T.I.R. ≤ 0.015mm for standard, ≤ 0.005mm for high precision).

• Durable Construction: Made from high-grade alloy steel (e.g., 65Mn or SUJ2), heat-treated to HRC 55-60 for maximum wear resistance and spring retention.

• Standard Compatibility: Designed to fit all standard 5C spindles, collet blocks, and indexing heads, ensuring universal interchangeability.

• Internal Thread Feature: Comes with standard internal threads to accept 5C work stops, allowing for precise axial positioning of workpieces.
