5C-3 Collet — 3 mm diameter, 87 mm length (Vertex)
The 5C-3 Collet is a precision clamping element for 5C toolholders, engineered for consistent tool retention in machining and grinding applications.
- 3 mm diameter, 0.02 mm accuracy
- 87 mm overall length, sturdy construction
- Standard 5C interface, easy integration
Improved process reliability through measurable precision
A compact clamping solution with 3 mm nominal capacity and 0.02 mm repeatability reduces machining variation and lowers the need for rework. The combination of tight tolerance and repeatable clamping ensures that the held tool maintains its cutting geometry over series runs, which directly benefits part quality and process stability. Emphasis on precision and accuracy supports predictable cycle times and reliable measurement feedback in quality control.
Designed for seamless integration into 5C toolholding systems
The standard 5C interface and an 87 mm overall length allow straightforward installation into existing collet chucks and adapters, helping maintain machine uptime. The nominal dimensions facilitate correct stick-out and balance, which preserves spindle dynamics and reduces unwanted vibration during operation. Compatibility with conventional toolholding equipment simplifies logistics and shortens changeover sequences, supporting efficient production workflows.
Consistent clamping for steady machining performance
A robust construction delivers consistent clamping force, which contributes to longer tool life and steadier surface finishes. The modest weight 0.21 kg helps maintain spindle balance while providing sufficient mass for secure retention. Where stability and repeatability matter, the component’s mechanical characteristics support repeatable set-ups and reduced inspection interventions, aiding throughput in small to medium production batches.
Practical handling and upkeep for workshop routines
Routine inspection is straightforward because the geometry is standardised and quick to measure; visual checks and a simple runout test verify ongoing serviceability. Basic cleaning and careful storage prevent contamination and help retain the specified 0.02 mm performance over time. For customers seeking confirmation on fitment or advised set-up parameters, technical guidance is available to ensure correct application and avoid unnecessary downtime.
