Super Slim type offers an ideal solution for precision finishing processes in confined areas.

Called the world's smallest hydraulic chuck, Super Slim type offers an ideal solution for precision finishing processes in confined areas with drills, reamers, ball mills, end mills, diamond reamers, and grinding tools. Cutting tools with diameters of 3 to 4 mm can be clamped directly for high-speed micromachining apps.

 

The Super Slim type of Hydraulic Chucks (HDC) are the perfect tool holders for precision finishing processes in confined areas with drills, reamers, ball mills, end mills, diamond reamers, and grinding tools. Cutting tools with shank diameters of 3 or 4 mm can be clamped directly and are ideally suited for high-speed micromachining applications in the automotive, aerospace, medical, die and electronics industries.

 

BIG KAISER designed the Super Slim HDC to require only a single wrench for clamping and unclamping, a much easier and safer solution compared to heat shrink tool holders. These chucks can clamp ultra-small endmills and drills directly, without needing a reduction sleeve. The external body diameter of the chuck nose is a mere 0.551 in. (14 mm), and a gauge length of 1.575 in. (40 mm) making it compact and precise. Each tool is precision balanced for speeds up to 60,000rpm and runout accuracy of less than 3 microns (.00012 in.) at 5xd.

 

The Super Slim HDCs for HSK-E25 machine spindles are available from stock; they are also available for the HSK-E 32 and HSK-E 40 spindle types.
