Forkardt’s Universal Gear Diaphragm Chucks are ideal for longer run applications with infrequent changes. The UG diaphragm chucking system adapts to many different gear configurations, requiring minimal top tooling. Changeover from one gear to another is simple and can be accomplished in minutes. Diaphragm chucks contain no moving, wearable parts, eliminating downtime and maintenance costs.
The Universal Gear Diaphragm Chuck provides consistent and controlled accuracy on every run. The UG chuck features pull back action against fixed stops for positive location. The inherent diaphragm chuck mobility permits „float“ to compensate for gear spacing errors due to machining or heat treatment distortion.
