Collet Chucks
A collet chuck is designed to provide clamping force around the circumference of a part, not just at a select contact area. The results of using a collet chuck is tight concentritity. A collet chuck typically provides repeatability of 0.0005 inch TIR or better. The collet chuck can also be adjusted for concentricity during installation to further improve accuracy during secondary operations.
