5C-15 Collet — 15 mm diameter, 0.02 mm accuracy (Vertex)

The 5C-15 Collet is a precision clamping component for machine-tool spindles and lathe workholding, designed to secure round shank tools and workpieces with reliable concentricity.

• 5C standard for broad tool compatibility
• 15 mm nominal clamping diameter
• 0.02 mm concentricity tolerance
• Compact length: 87 mm for tight setups

Consistent accuracy for repeatable production

A compact clamping solution that delivers repeatable precision: the collet offers a declared accuracy of 0.02 mm, which minimises runout and supports tighter tolerances in turning and light milling operations. The proven 5C standard ensures compatibility with a wide range of chucks and fixtures, reducing the need for multiple adapters and shortening changeover times. This enhances process stability and improves first-pass yield.

Simple integration into existing toolholding systems

Designed for straightforward installation into existing 5C chucks, the component combines a compact length with a robust clamping form to fit constrained setups without sacrificing grip. The nominal 15 mm diameter provides a common clamping size for many tool shanks and pilot diameters, enabling efficient inventory management and fewer toolholders on the bench. Easy interchangeability supports faster tooling swaps and predictable machine utilisation.

Reliability and handling that support workshop workflows

Manufactured to consistent tolerances, the collet promotes reliable clamping across repetitive cycles, reducing rework and inspection time. The balanced geometry contributes to stable rotation and reduced vibration at moderate spindle speeds, which can extend tool life and improve surface finish. For maintenance, standard cleaning and light lubrication of the clamping taper preserves performance and concentricity over long service intervals.

Application advice and selection guidance

For demanding positioning tasks or when maximal concentricity is required, pairing this collet with properly rated chucks and routine inspection is recommended. The 5C-15 Collet suits general-purpose turning, light milling and holding of cylindrical components; for specialised materials or extreme feeds consult the technical team to confirm suitability and recommended operating parameters.

FAQ

What machines are compatible with this collet?
The 5C-15 collet fits machine spindles and chucks designed for the 5C standard; the Vertex 5C-15 collet is intended for holders and chucks conforming to 5C interfaces.

What does the 0.02 mm accuracy mean in practice?
An accuracy of 0.02 mm indicates the maximum expected runout under correct mounting; the Vertex 5C-15 collet helps maintain concentricity for consistent machining quality.

Is the collet suitable for heavy-duty milling?
The 5C-15 collet is intended for general workholding and light to moderate cutting loads; for heavy milling applications, consider specialised heavy-duty toolholding systems.

How should the collet be maintained to retain precision?
Regular cleaning of the clamping surfaces and light lubrication of the spindle taper preserve the concentricity and performance of the Vertex 5C-15 collet.
