Precision that keeps production steady

The 5C collet (12 mm) is engineered to deliver consistent concentricity, with a specified accuracy of 0.02 mm that translates into lower runout and more reliable part tolerances. Such repeatability is valuable in batch production where small deviations can mean increased scrap or additional finishing work. By stabilising the mounted workpiece or tool, the collet supports improved surface finish and steadier cutting conditions, which in turn contributes to longer tool life and fewer machine interventions. The measurable tolerance figure provides a clear, technical basis for quality control and process planning.

Straightforward integration into existing toolrooms

Designed to the 5C standard, this collet fits established chucks and fixtures, allowing for rapid retrofit without special adaptors. Its 87 mm overall length and 12 mm bore make it suitable for compact setups where space and accessibility matter, while a weight of 0.21 kg supports quick handling during tool changes. The standardised interface reduces setup complexity and downtime, enabling technicians to swap tooling quickly and keep machines productive. Compatibility with widely used systems simplifies inventory planning and reduces the need for multiple specialised holders.
