5C-23 Collet — 23 mm precision collet, 87 mm length (Vertex)

A 5C-23 collet for secure clamping of round shanks and small workpieces in general machining applications, designed for consistent concentricity and repeatable toolholding.

• 23 mm nominal diameter for standard shanks
• High repeatability with ±0.02 mm accuracy
• Compact 87 mm overall length for tight setups
• Lightweight construction at 0.21 kg for easy handling

Consistent precision for repeatable machining

The collet delivers a high level of precision that supports consistent cycle times and reduces scrap. With a nominal diameter of 23 mm and an indicated accuracy of ±0.02 mm, concentricity is improved when compared with loose or improvised clamping methods. This reliability translates into fewer reworks and a steadier production flow, particularly in batch operations where repeatability matters. The design follows established 5C system standards, ensuring predictable behaviour in the toolholding chain and easier process validation.

Compact form that frees up machine space

An overall length of 87 mm and a weight of 0.21 kg make the component suitable for setups where space and balance are considerations. The relatively short profile helps maintain clearance in compact spindles and reduces the risk of collisions in multi-axis operations. Being part of the standard 5C family, the component integrates with common collet chucks and arbor arrangements, offering practical compatibility without complex adaptors. The compact design therefore supports both efficient fixturing and safe operation.

Simple selection, clear technical reference

Specification-focused documentation eases selection and reduces procurement uncertainty. The basic numeric values — 23 mm diameter, ±0.02 mm accuracy, 87 mm length and 0.21 kg weight — provide a concise basis for comparing alternatives and checking machine compatibility. As a Vertex-manufactured tool, the collet aligns with widely used workshop routines for inspection and maintenance; routine checks on runout and clamp condition are sufficient to maintain performance. This makes the product a pragmatic choice for maintenance cycles and shop-floor quality regimes.
