5C-18 Collet — 18 mm Precision Collet by Vertex

5C-18 is a high-precision collet for secure clamping in general workshop turning and milling applications, designed to meet standard 5C toolholding requirements.

• 5C standard for broad tool compatibility
• Nominal diameter 18 mm
• Run-out accuracy 0.02 mm
• Solid construction, 87 mm overall length

Consistent clamping for predictable production

A compact collet built to the 5C standard provides uniform clamping force and repeatable performance across batch runs. The defined 18 mm nominal diameter and balanced design reduce vibration and contribute to steady machining results, so cycle times remain predictable. With an indicated run-out accuracy of 0.02 mm, the component supports finishing operations where tight tolerances matter, helping to lower scrap rates and rework.

Precision engineering that simplifies setup

The collet’s geometry and respected standard make it straightforward to fit into existing chucks and fixtures, shortening machine setup and tool change intervals. The modest length of 87 mm and compact mass (0.21 kg) permit stable holding without excessive overhang, which benefits spindle life and surface finish. Where measurements are critical, the specified 0.02 mm figure is a practical indicator of expected concentricity and is useful when programming finishing passes.

Robust specification for everyday workshop use

Manufactured to standard industrial expectations, this clamping insert is intended for routine use in mixed-production environments. The 5C format supports a wide range of tooling and adapters, enabling flexible job planning and reduced tooling stock. The combination of standard conformity and documented run-out performance strengthens process reliability, making the component a dependable part of a pragmatic machining strategy.
