Collet chuck V-741 — ER‑16 steep taper, compact 28 mm diameter, Vertex

A collet chuck V-741 designed for secure clamping with ER‑16 collets, suited to precision machining centres and compact toolholders.

• Steep taper for ER-16 collets
• Compact 28 mm diameter
• Robust construction, 1.5 kg weight
• Precision clamping for concentricity

Reliable clamping for repeatable results

A compact clamping solution that focuses on precision and repeatability. The steep taper interface and compatibility with ER‑16 collets reduce axial and radial movement, improving concentricity on short tool overhangs. For operations where part tolerances are tight, this type of collet chuck minimises rework by securing tools with consistent grip force; the result is fewer rejects and more predictable cycle times. Technical stability is achieved without complex adjustment, which supports steady production in small-batch and medium-volume environments.

Compact footprint with enhanced rigidity

The small 28 mm diameter makes the chuck easy to integrate into compact spindles and multi‑tool heads while maintaining mechanical rigidity. The modest mass of 1.5 kg contributes to low rotating inertia, which can help preserve spindle response and balance. The steep taper design increases contact area between the chuck and the collet, converting clamping force into higher stiffness at the cutting edge. This configuration benefits high‑precision finishing and light machining tasks where both space and stiffness are at a premium.

Time saving through reduced setup and maintenance

Designed for workshop efficiency, the chuck supports fast collet changes and straightforward cleaning, reducing downtime between operations. Improved run‑out stability lowers the need for frequent tool re‑setting and inspection, while the simple mechanical design keeps routine maintenance minimal. For fleet managers and production planners, the predictable behaviour of this toolholder aids scheduling and reduces the total time spent on setup and troubleshooting over the life of the tool.

Practical applications and safe handling in everyday use

Ideal for small milling, drilling and turning tasks, the chuck suits jobs that demand accurate tool holding in tight spaces. ER collets are versatile: a single collet system accommodates a range of tool shank sizes while maintaining clamping accuracy. The steep taper helps translate axial tightening into uniform radial pressure around the tool shank, which is especially useful when machining short cutters or reamers. For safe operation, ensure collets and tools are clean and undamaged before assembly to retain the declared performance characteristics.

FAQ

Which collet series fits this chuck?
The chuck is designed for the ER‑16 collet series; Vertex V‑741 accepts ER‑16 collets for a range of tool shank diameters.

Is the V‑741 suitable for high‑speed spindles?
The V‑741 provides a compact, low‑inertia interface; suitability for high speeds depends on specific spindle limits and balancing of the complete tool assembly.

How does the steep taper affect clamping performance?
A steep taper improves contact pressure transmission and rigidity, so the Vertex V‑741 delivers consistent clamping force and reduced run‑out in short overhang applications.

Can the chuck be used in milling and turning machines?
Yes, this collet chuck is appropriate for milling, drilling and light turning in setups where ER‑16 collets and a compact 28 mm holder are required.

What should be checked before assembly?
Inspect collets and tool shanks for cleanliness and damage; the Vertex V‑741 performs best when components are free of chips and burrs.
