The workpiece is generally ground between centers for centric cylindrical, orbital pin, or form grinding of complex shaft-type components. The challenge faced by the workholding device is to transfer the necessary torque, and thus the rotational movement to the workpiece, without deforming it by excessive lateral loads. SwissChuck's high-precision OVEKA/KA compensating chucks have been originally designed for the machining of crankshafts, a task for which they have amply proven themselves. Over the years, these chucks have undergone continuous improvements such that today, they are perfectly suited for grinding all shaft-type workpieces. Our compensating chucks are available in 2-, 3-, or 4-jaw versions.
