OverviewThe KEM-AS-A6 is an expanding ID mandrel designed for accurate internal workpiece gripping on lathes. It features a pull-back design for dual-contact rigidity and a common flange for modular interchangeability.
Key features- Pull-back dual-contact design draws the workpiece against a part locator for increased rigidity.
- Modular flange configuration ensures interchangeability with compatible back bodies.
- Specify standard or flush sleeves at time of order.

How to order- 1. Choose the mandrel model based on the diameter(s) you plan to grip — mandrels are identified by gripping range.
- 2. Select the part number matching your lathe spindle mount — each ID system includes a drawtube connector that can be customised to your drawtube.
- 3. Order the appropriate sleeve(s) and part locators separately; specify standard or flush sleeves when ordering.
Included and design notes- Each mandrel includes an expanding rod, expanding rod adapter and mounting hardware.
- All expanding sleeves are bonded to seal against coolant and chip penetration.
- Double-angle design provides parallel sleeve expansion for full-length workpiece contact and positive release.
- Sleeves collapse 0.1 mm below nominal ground diameter to ease part loading/unloading.
