Our Sure-Grip Expanding Collet Systems have true part length control built into its double-angle design, assuring exact workpiece lengths by locating the part against the face of the arbor or against a machineable work stop. The collet draws the workpiece firmly against the stop, producing an extremely stable part. The results are heavier cuts, better surface finishes, and closer tolerances. Long parts can be easily machined due to this added stability. Sure-Grip Collets can be custom manufactured for special applications for spindles, sub-spindles and mill tables. Pick-off collets are frequently engineered for Swiss and multi-spindle machines. Splined or serrated surfaces can be made for special grips and shapes, while recessed draw-plug styles might solve your short gripping problem.

                  • STYLE S MASTERS AND PADS

                  • The Style “S” master collets and pads overcome all the problems associated with master collets. When loading bars, the rugged shoulder of the pad locates against the front of the groove in the master collet. There are no set screws or clamps to be damaged or loosened. When a part is machined, the working forces are against the rear shoulder of the pad which is located against the rear shoulder of the groove in the master collet. Again, there are no screws or clamps to wear or break. The clamp which holds the pads captivated in the collet literally floats longitudinally, assuring that there is never any pressure on the clamp. There are no holes in the OD of the master collet, or on the ID of the pads, resulting in maximum bearing on the workpiece and the spindle collet seat. When Style “S” collets are used, there will never be high spots on the spindle collet seat caused by the master collet and pad design. When selecting master collets from this catalog, remember the Style “S” design has been in existence for over 50 years and is the preferred system.
                  • STYLE B MASTERS AND PADS

                  • Style “B” master feed finger pads are uniquely designed and proven by over fifty years of use in the machine tool industry. The straight-forward design allows for full bearing of the pad ID on the workpiece. There are no screws or tabs to wear, or to remove bearing area from the pads ID. The master feed fingers are spring tempered to the proper gripping tension for maximum longevity. Custom master feed fingers can be easily and quickly manufactured at Hardinge to give extremely light grip, or heavier grip for nonstandard applications. The use of Style “B” master feed fingers will assure you of minimum downtime on your production floor.

                    Hardinge Style “B” feed fingers and pads are the most practical feed fingers for high production bar machining. Designed and manufactured to be the most reliable on the market today, they offer many advantages over other styles.

                  • TOOLHOLDER COLLETS AND BUSHINGS

                  • HQC QUICK CHANGE SYSTEMS FOR LATHES AND AUTOMATICS

                  • Hardinge® HQC Quick-Change collets can be changed from one size to another in less than 20 seconds. The HQC System requires less draw bar force to adequately grip the bar, greatly reducing the breakage of closing fingers and pins common when the bar varies beyond the range of a standard solid collet or master collet with pads. Eliminating the need to change collets due to normal variations in bar stock, greatly reduces the downtime normally required. Since solid collets and master collets are of a one-piece construction, considerable force is required to flex the leaves of a solid collet and bring the gripping surface in contact with the workpiece OD. Because there are no leaves in the HQC system, additional gripping pressure is directly applied to the workpiece. Higher feed rates and higher spindle speeds are possible. Because of the extra gripping force, tool life increases and parts come off the machine quicker.
                  • CAPSULE COLLETS

                  • Hardinge, a global designer and manufacturer of machine tools and advanced workholding products, has been producing capsule collets for the world’s leading capsule manufacturers for the past 50 years. These partnerships have resulted in state-of-the-art collets for the production of capsule bodies and caps in sizes of #00, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Hardinge precision, hardened and ground collets assure reliability and long life for the medical and pharmaceutical industries. A polished radius nose on the collet reduces friction and eliminates marketing, while allowing you to take full advantage of your production capabilities with reduced downtime. Collets are 4-split or 3-split, depending on size. Hardinge also designs and manufactures custom gripping devices for turning, milling, grinding, process and assembly applications.
                  • SCREW MACHINE COLLETS AND TOOLING

                  • Choose from a large inventory of 5C, 16C, 20C, 25C and 3J collets, FlexC vulcanized collet systems, emergency collets and step chucks, as well as B42 and B65 stationary collets. Let Hardinge solve your workholding problems such as hard-to-grip shapes and surfaces, part length control, thin-wall turning, etc. Hardinge supplies D-style, WW and 3C collets and step chucks for instrument lathes, turret lathes and micro-drilling machines for the medical, dental, electronic, watchmaking, model engineering and related industries.
                  • HYDROMAT

                  • Hardinge offers collets for the following Hydromat Rotary Transfer Machines: HW/25-12, HB/32-16, HB32/45-16, HB/45-12 and Pro20. Round fractional, metric, hexagon and square collets are available in standard sizes up to the maximum capacity of the collet and machine tool. The cross-corner dimension of the hexagon and square hole cannot exceed the maximum bore diameter for the specific collet. Stepped hole collets are available to machine capacity.
                  • R8 COLLETS

                  • Hardinge R8 collets are the result of over 100 years of experience in serving the needs of the machining industry. The Hardinge R8 collet is manufactured to exacting standards from special alloy steel. All Hardinge R8 collets are a solid one piece design, hardened and spring tempered to assure accuracy and durability.

                    Precision R8 Collets for manual and CNC milling machines are carburized and case hardened for maximum wearability and strength. They are harder than any other R8 collet on the market. A custom process is used to eliminate the use of bushings for the internal draw threads.

                • Buck Chuck™

                • Buck Chuck™ provides the benchmark in manual chucks as well as power precision chucks. Chucks come in a variety of sizes and styles and are ideal for replacement of OEM manual and power chucks. Buck Chuck also offers hard and soft jaws, replacement seal kits and wear parts.
                    • SCROLL CHUCKS

                    • Scroll Chucks offer dead true precision and guarantee .0005” repeatability on duplicate parts. This precision comes from a built-in .020” clearance between the chuck body cavity and the mounting plate hub. This allows opposing screws ample movement to adjust work accurately.

                      This adjustment takes less than a minute, and no further adjustment is needed to get precision within .0005” TIR on duplicate parts.
