5C-6 collet by Vertex — 6 mm bore, 0.02 mm accuracy

A 5C-6 collet engineered for precision workholding in small-diameter tooling and high-consistency machining tasks

• Accurate runout ±0.02 mm
• Compatible with standard 5C toolholders
• 6 mm nominal bore for small tooling
• Compact form, 87 mm overall length

Precision that stabilises production

The primary benefit of the collet is its precision: a specified runout accuracy of 0.02 mm reduces concentricity errors and directly improves part tolerances and surface finish. In practical terms, lower runout means fewer rejects and less rework during serial production. The measurable accuracy is particularly valuable where repeatability is essential for batch consistency and when alternating between similar tool sizes.

Compact clamping for faster set-ups

Designed for small-diameter applications, the 6 mm nominal bore simplifies tool selection while maintaining high clamping force and axial alignment. The 5C interface ensures straightforward integration with existing 5C holders and chucks, enabling rapid tool changes and minimal set-up time. For workshops that process small cutters or precision drills, the compact design translates into greater throughput and predictable cycle times.

Robust geometry for reliable shop-floor use

A balanced combination of length and mass provides the necessary rigidity for stable machining: the 87 mm overall length and 0.21 kg mass contribute to consistent concentricity during operation. The construction supports repeatable clamping cycles and reduces vibration transmission, which helps to protect both tool life and workpiece quality. Regular cleaning and inspection of the clamping surfaces keep the system operating at the specified accuracy.
