Vertex SK40-VRL13 Drill Chuck — self-tightening, Ø0.5–13 mm

The Vertex SK40-VRL13 is a self-tightening drill chuck designed for secure tool clamping in machine-tool spindles and toolholders

• Self-tightening, integrated mechanism
• Capacity Ø0.5–13 mm
• SK40 taper with M16 thread
• Length 85 mm for compact mounting

Increased machining reliability through secure clamping

The integrated self-tightening mechanism converts spindle torque into higher clamping force, reducing slippage during heavy cuts and supporting consistent tool concentricity. With a clamping range of Ø0.5–13 mm, the chuck accommodates common twist drill sizes for general workshop and industrial applications. This mechanical principle lowers chatter and extends useful tool life, which translates into fewer tool changes and steadier cycle times on milling machines and drill presses.

Compact design that speeds up set-up and fits standard spindles

A short overall length of 85 mm and the SK40 mounting mean the chuck occupies minimal overhang while maintaining rigidity. The M16 thread ensures secure fastening to the spindle adaptor without additional components, simplifying installation and repeatable repositioning. Reduced assembly time and a compact profile support tighter tolerance work and quicker changeovers, helping to keep production flow efficient and predictable.

Practical durability and integration into the workshop

Designed for regular workshop use, the chuck’s integrated design minimises exposed parts and makes routine checks straightforward. The clear, measurable capacity (Ø0.5–13 mm), the SK40 interface and the M16 connection allow compatibility verification with existing toolholders and adaptors before purchase. This transparency supports informed procurement decisions and reduces the risk of unsuitable fittings in the tool chain.

FAQ

What clamping range does this chuck support?
The Vertex SK40-VRL13 supports a clamping capacity of Ø0.5–13 mm, suitable for a wide range of twist drill sizes used in general machining.

Which spindle taper and thread are required for mounting?
Mounting is via an SK40 taper and the chuck uses an M16 thread for secure attachment to the adaptor or spindle.

Is the chuck suitable for frequent tool changes in production?
Yes, the compact 85 mm length and integrated design reduce setup time and support frequent, repeatable tool changes in a production environment.

Can this chuck be used on milling machines as well as drill presses?
The SK40 interface and self-tightening action make the chuck appropriate for compatible milling machines and drill spindles where SK40 mounting is used.
