Secure end-face workholding for uninterrupted turning
Workpiece drivers transfer spindle torque via the workpiece face to enable complete external machining in a single set-up, eliminating the need for re-clamping and reducing cycle times while ensuring excellent runout accuracy. These devices are used on lathes and grinders where the tailstock presses the blank against a centring point and hardened driver discs or pins embed into the face to give slip-free torque transmission, providing reliable performance even with uneven or rough end faces. By combining robust mechanical or hydraulic load-compensation with precise axial force control, they allow continuous full-length turning and high process security for serial production of shafts, sleeves and similar components.

achieve full-length machining with face drivers
Face drivers, also known as workpiece drivers or face-mounted drives, are specialised drive fittings used in turning and grinding operations to transfer spindle torque directly to the workpiece via its end face. unlike jaw chucks, the drive engages the material at the face, keeping the outer contour completely accessible and enabling uninterrupted machining along the full length of the component.
how the system works and where it pays off
The face driver is used when axial support from the tailstock is combined with hardened drive plates or drive pins that slightly indent the workpiece face, creating a positive, slip-free connection. the tailstock applies high axial force against a spring-loaded centre while the drive elements transmit torque. this set-up is essential for operations that demand single clamping from end to end, such as long turning passes, internal and external grinding where uninterrupted access and concentricity are critical.
measurable production benefits you can count on
- reduced setup time through single-clamp machining, eliminating re‑clamping and part reversal
- improved cycle times by enabling complete external machining in one operation
- higher running accuracy thanks to stable axial support and elimination of re‑alignment errors
- secure power transmission via hardened drive plates/pins that prevent slippage under heavy cuts
- process reliability when equipped with mechanical or hydraulic load compensation for uneven faces
why Metav is the practical choice for precision workshops
Metav combines decades of industry expertise with a broad range of workshop and metrology supplies, offering a pragmatic source for face drivers and complementary tooling. based in Emmerich, Metav acts as a quality filter for the european market, supplying a consolidated range of over 250,000 products and serving more than 48,000 customers. for buyers who prioritise dependable delivery and consistent quality, Metav provides a central, experienced partner for procurement of precision clamping and driving solutions.

FAQ
What is a face driver and when should it be used?
A face driver is a drive fitting that transfers spindle torque through the workpiece face; use a face driver when full-length external machining or uninterrupted access to the outer contour is required.
How does a face driver improve machining accuracy?
By enabling single clamping and axial support from the tailstock, a face driver eliminates errors from re‑clamping and maintains concentricity over the entire workpiece length.
Can face drivers cope with rough or uneven end faces?
Modern face drivers with mechanical or hydraulic load compensation ensure uniform force distribution and secure engagement even on uneven, rough or slightly angled faces.
Which components make up the drive interface?
Typical drive interfaces consist of hardened drive plates or drive pins that indent the workpiece face and a spring-loaded centre that provides axial support from the tailstock.
