SK-510 drill chuck (APU self-clamping) – SK30 taper, Ø 1–13 mm by Vertex

SK-510 drill chuck is a self-clamping toolholder designed for machining centres with an SK30 taper to DIN 69871A, providing secure clamping of tool shanks from Ø 1–13 mm in demanding workshop environments.

• Self-clamping APU mechanism for quick tool changes
• SK30 taper to DIN 69871A compatibility
• Suitable for Ø 1–13 mm tool shanks

Faster setups through automatic clamping

The APU self-clamping mechanism reduces the need for time-consuming manual tightening while ensuring a consistent grip on the tool shank. With a clamping range of Ø 1–13 mm, the chuck covers a wide spectrum of common drill and tool diameters, enabling fewer toolholders to be stocked and fewer interruptions during production. The SK30 interface, made to DIN 69871A standards, ensures straightforward integration with machines that accept the same taper, which shortens installation time and simplifies changeovers. This combination of automatic clamping and standardised mounting translates directly into higher machine availability and lower per-part setup time.

Stable performance and improved machining quality

Built with attention to mass distribution and mechanical stability, the chuck’s weight of 1.34 kg contributes to reduced vibration during operation, supporting high repeatability across successive runs. Repeatability here means the tool returns to the same position and clamping force after each change, minimising runout and drift that cause rejects or rework. For workshops aiming to raise first-pass yield, the resulting dimensional consistency reduces inspection time and downstream corrections. The SK-510 drill chuck therefore serves as a practical way to improve process reliability without altering existing toolpaths or fixtures.

Standard compatibility and secure sourcing

The SK-510 connects via an SK30 taper and complies with DIN 69871A, which makes it compatible with a broad range of machining centres and toolholders. Supplied under the Vertex name, the product benefits from established manufacturing practices and quality checks. For buyers seeking predictable delivery and a clear supply chain, Metav Werkzeuge operates as a European quality filter: decades of experience, over 48,000 customers, and a broad product range ensure that procurement is straightforward and dependable. This trusted distribution reduces the administrative burden on procurement teams and supports uninterrupted production.

FAQ

What machine taper is required for mounting this chuck?
The chuck fits machines with an SK30 taper and is manufactured to DIN 69871A, so it mounts directly to spindles and toolholders that conform to that standard.

What tool shank sizes can the SK-510 clamp?
The SK-510 drill chuck supports tool shanks in the range Ø 1–13 mm, covering most common drills and small end mills used in general machining.

How does the self-clamping mechanism work in practice?
The APU self-clamping mechanism applies a consistent clamping force automatically when the tool is inserted, reducing manual intervention and ensuring repeatable grip for the SK-510.

Is the chuck suitable for high-precision operations?
Yes. The SK-510 is designed for high repeatability and stable performance; its construction and balanced mass reduce vibration and contribute to accurate, repeatable machining results.

Who manufactures the SK-510 and where can it be sourced?
The SK-510 is produced by Vertex and can be procured through Metav Werkzeuge, which provides European distribution and technical advice for selection and ordering.
