Collet chuck V-408 – ER‑40 clamping for MT‑4 taper, 63 mm body

A robust collet chuck V-408 designed for secure holding of ER‑40 collets on machines with an MT‑4 (Morse) taper, suitable for workshop and production use where consistent tool alignment is required.

• Precision clamping for ER‑40 collets
• MT‑4 taper for direct spindle mounting
• 63 mm body diameter for rigid support
• Solid build, weight 1.4 kg

Consistent clamping for accurate machining

The clamping unit delivers high repeatability through the ER‑40 system, which is engineered to minimise runout and maintain concentricity during cutting operations. By using an ER collet interface in combination with a correctly matched taper, the setup reduces tool vibration and improves surface finish, which in turn supports process reliability and fewer rejected parts. The emphasis on precision and mechanical stability translates into measurable productivity gains on both short and long production runs.

Seamless integration with spindle tapers and machines

With an MT‑4 taper, the chuck mounts directly onto standard Morse‑taper spindle noses without additional adaptors, enabling quick installation in compatible lathes and drilling heads. The 63 mm body diameter contributes to lateral stiffness, helping to resist deflection under load; this structural trait is beneficial when performing operations that demand rigidity, such as heavy milling passes or deep drilling. Compatibility with the ER‑40 collet range ensures access to a wide variety of tool shank diameters while keeping clamping forces uniform and reliable.

Durable design that supports workshop workflow

Constructed for everyday industrial use, the chuck’s mass of 1.4 kg and compact geometry balance robustness with manageable handling during tool changes. The design supports routine maintenance and straightforward collet swaps, which reduces setup time and keeps machine downtime to a minimum. Incorporating such a clamping solution into a tooling setup helps standardise fixtures across multiple machines, simplifying inventory and training while maintaining consistent performance across jobs.
