VCL-3C collet — 2‑3/4″ opening, compact format (Vertex)

The VCL-3C collet provides secure, repeatable clamping for routine machining and workshop tasks, suited to general-purpose toolholding and short-run production.

• Universal 2‑3/4″ opening for versatile clamping
• Compact 163 x 91 mm footprint for tight spaces
• Lightweight 0.38 kg for easy handling and changeover
• 50.8 mm jaw depth for stable workpiece support

Consistent grip for repeatable results

The VCL-3C was engineered to deliver consistent clamping force and stable centring, reducing setup variance and improving part run-out. With a clearly defined 2‑3/4″ opening, the sleeve secures cylindrical workpieces and tooling in a predictable way, which supports tighter tolerances across repeated cycles. Using a reliable collet reduces the need for corrective machining and helps maintain steady throughput, an advantage for both maintenance work and small-batch production.

Compact design that eases workshop logistics

Measuring 163 x 91 mm and weighing just 0.38 kg, this collet occupies minimal space in the tool cabinet and lightens handling during tool changes. The 50.8 mm jaw depth provides adequate engagement for short to medium-length workpieces while keeping the overall assembly compact. The reduced mass lowers inertia during handling, speeding up changeovers and simplifying storage, so operators can focus on machining rather than equipment management.

Built for integration into standard toolholding routines

Designed as a practical component for everyday clamping tasks, the collet supports consistent workflows and straightforward inventory control. The clear SKU and traceability data make stock management easier, and the straightforward geometry allows rapid visual checks before use. Together with a trusted supplier network, this component helps sustain a dependable supply chain and reduces the risk of downtime caused by unclear specifications.
