M16x2.0P NT40 Taper C-Type, Threaded Spindle Adapter - Vertex

Taking advantage of the NT40 taper interface, the C-type configuration and the standard M16x2.0P drawbar thread ensures a precise, repeatable connection and robust retention during machining; order the VBC-NT40 directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult a specialist for compatibility checks.

VBC-NT40 NT40 taper adaptor, C-type with M16x2.0P drawbar thread — Vertex

The VBC-NT40 is a compact NT40 taper adaptor designed for standardised toolholder retention in milling spindles, usable where a C-type configuration and M16x2.0P drawbar engagement are required

• NT40 taper interface for standard spindles
• C-type configuration for common toolholder setups
• M16x2.0P drawbar thread for secure retention
• Robust construction at 1.3 kg mass

Repeatable location and high precision

The NT40 taper is a widely adopted spindle interface that provides concentric seating and consistent axial location. By using a standardised taper connection, this adaptor reduces setup variation and minimises runout, which translates into improved component accuracy and longer tool life. The clear mechanical fit supports fast tool changes and keeps production interruptions short, making it suitable for series machining where reproducibility is essential.

Secure retention with standardised drawbar engagement

Retention is handled via the M16x2.0P drawbar thread, a common specification that delivers reliable axial clamping force. The C-type configuration complements this by matching customary toolholder geometries, so clamping performance remains stable under cutting loads. The assembly’s mass (approx. 1.3 kg) contributes to vibration damping without compromising handling, yielding steadier cuts and fewer rejects during high-precision operations.

Engineered compatibility for workshop efficiency

Produced by Vertex, this taper adaptor integrates with existing NT40 toolholding systems and is intended to simplify inventory and tool management. The compact design and standard interfaces mean minimal adaptation effort when retrofitting or expanding spindle fleets. For maintenance planning, familiar thread and taper standards allow straightforward inspection and replacement procedures, supporting continuous production and predictable service intervals.
