This is a CNC machined threaded collet chuck body with a spindle mount, built to hold ER collets for high-speed tooling and workholding. You get a guaranteed runout of ≤0.005 mm TIR at the nose, a hardened steel body at 58–62 HRC, and a surface finish of Ra 0.4 µm on the taper and bore. Lead time for standard sizes is 10–15 working days, with a 12-hour firm quote response from our Dongguan factory.
Most chuck failures come from loose connections between the spindle, adapter, and collet. Our threaded mount is machined directly into the chuck body as one piece—no press-fit sleeves, no secondary fasteners. The thread is cut to class 2A/2B tolerance, so it seats against the spindle shoulder with full metal-to-metal contact. This removes the radial play that causes tool chatter and uneven wear. For a CAT40 or BT40 spindle, you torque the chuck onto the nose thread and get the same rigidity as a solid holder.
The internal taper angle is ground to 8° per side, which matches ER collet standards exactly. When you tighten the collet nut, the collet compresses by 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm depending on size. This gives you a grip force of 20–35 kN on a 20 mm shank, enough to hold carbide end mills at 15,000 RPM without pullout. The thread pitch on the body's outer diameter is M18 x 1.5 or custom, and the nut seat is hardened to prevent galling after repeated tightening cycles.
We start with 8620 or 4140 alloy steel, never free-cutting mild steel. The blank is rough turned, then carburized or through-hardened to 58–62 HRC. After hardening, we grind the taper, the bore, and the thread in one setup to keep concentricity under 0.003 mm. For corrosive or high-humidity shops, we offer a black oxide finish or electroless nickel plating (Ra 0.8 µm after coating). The mounting face is lapped to a flatness of 0.002 mm to prevent spindle tilt.
Runout is not a single operation—it is the result of every step. We first grind the center hole, then the outer diameter, then the taper. The thread is cut on a CNC lathe with a live tool, not a die. After heat treatment, we do a final grind on the taper and the bore simultaneously using a matched mandrel. Each chuck body is checked on a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) with a resolution of 0.001 mm. The recorded runout is printed and shipped with the part.
The internal taper must be smooth—any tool marks will transfer to the collet and then to the tool shank. We hold Ra 0.4 µm on the taper and Ra 0.8 µm on the nut thread. The taper angle is verified with a precision air gauge, not a simple go/no-go plug. The bore is honed to a straightness of 0.002 mm over its full length. We also check the thread pitch diameter with a thread micrometer, so the nut spins freely without wobble.
Each CNC machined threaded collet chuck body is 100% inspected, not sample-tested. You receive a dimensional report that lists: outer diameter, thread pitch, taper angle, bore diameter, runout at three points, and hardness reading. The report is stamped with our QC number and traceable to the batch. If you require a material certificate (EN 10204 3.1), we provide it at no extra cost. We also photograph the part before packing so you see exactly what is inside the box.
We use VCI (vapor corrosion inhibitor) paper wrapped around each chuck body, then a sealed plastic bag, then a foam-lined carton. For ocean freight, we add a desiccant pack and a second layer of VCI film. This prevents rust for up to 6 months in tropical humidity. The outer carton is marked with the part number, quantity, and your PO number. We can also custom pack as a kit with collets and nuts if you order the full assembly.
