Pin workpiece clamping chuck 3 ALZD / ALZDA

The Forkardt Shaft Chuck (ALZD) allows one continuous turning operation. Its jaws are designed to extend and retract during the turning operation. Chuck jaws are extended to clamp the shaft. As the turning tool approaches the end of the workpiece, the chuck jaws retract, driving the shaft with (3) replaceable carbide drive pins or drive blades. The result is one non-interrupted, continuous turning operation. This unique design feature is a major advantage over conventional chucks which require two operations and / or two machines to maintain shaft turning production, and can cut your turning operation cost in half. TOTAL TURNING WITHOUT INTERRUPTION: The Forkardt Shaft Chuck (FSC) ALZD allows machining of workpieces between centers over the entire length, eliminating unnecessary part handling. IMPROVED CONCENTRICITY AND END LOCATION: Drive centers provide true between centers machining for greater accuracy, eliminating part turnaround. POSITIVE END DRIVING: The ALZD utilizes a self-contained equalizing drive pin mechanism. Each pin adjusts to the end of the workpiece, even if there is a slight out-of-squareness from part to part, ensuring evenly distributed driving force. PRE-LOADED CENTER: The ALZD can provide a spring loaded center to accommodate locating center tolerance variation Camshafts Drive Shafts Crankshafts Motor Shafts Transmission Shafts Axle Shafts Electric Motors Compressor Shafts
