17mm 5C Collet High-Precision 0.02mm Runout, 87mm Length - Vertex

The combination of 0.02 mm concentricity and standard 5C compatibility delivers repeatable, high-quality clamping for precision turning and milling. The compact 87 mm length and light 0.21 kg mass simplify handling and reduce spindle load. Order the collet directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if clarification is required.

5C-17 collet — 17 mm, 0.02 mm accuracy, Vertex

The 5C-17 collet is a 5C clamping sleeve designed to secure cylindrical workpieces in lathes and fixtures where high concentricity and repeatability are required

• 5C system for standard collet chucks
• 17 mm clamping diameter
• 0.02 mm concentricity accuracy
• Compact 87 mm body length

Increased accuracy for consistent machining results

High precision clamping reduces scrap and improves part uniformity. With a stated 0.02 mm concentricity figure, the sleeve supports repeatable positioning that benefits both one-off and batch production. The measurable tolerance gives a clear technical basis for process planning and enables reliable specification of downstream operations. This level of control is particularly valuable where tight tolerances and surface finish matters are decisive for final assembly.

Seamless integration with existing 5C tooling

Compatibility with the 5C system simplifies tooling logistics and shortens setup times. The collet’s 17 mm clamping diameter and standard interface allow direct use in common collet chucks and fixtures without additional adaptors. The compact 87 mm body length helps maintain machine balance and provides straightforward access for tool changes, while the modest 0.21 kg weight contributes to reduced spindle inertia and easier handling during set-up.

Practical benefits that reduce operational risk

A reliable clamping sleeve like this one supports process stability and lowers the likelihood of rework. The robust design intent and verified concentricity contribute to predictable tool life and steady cycle times. For workshops seeking measurable improvements in throughput, the combination of standard form factor and documented performance helps to integrate the component into quality control routines and production documentation with minimal overhead.
