Collet chuck
Riten Industries
Riten Collet Chucks are precision ground with guaranteed repeatability of .0002” TIR. Tolerances are held uniformly from the mounting to the working collet taper. Our products include both power and manual chucks with dead length or pull back operation. These chucks are ideal for first or second operation chucking.
Riten Collets are designed for improved accuracy and repeatability, superior gripping power, and extended service life. To achieve this, we load the collet with an induction coil at the base of the slots and heat the collet to a glowing red hot temperature. A spreader is inserted into the slots and pushed down on the collet face. After cooling for one to two minutes the spreader is removed and the collet cools completely. This process gives our collets a spring of .010” and drastically improves the life of the collet. Few other manufacturers go to this length to ensure a quality collet.
You’ll also find Riten collets are easier to attach, because we mill off the thin top edge of the threads to prevent binding in the radius of the female thread.
