VFR-08 clamping ring — 218 mm diameter for soft jaw inserts (Vertex)

The VFR-08 clamping ring is a dedicated clamping accessory designed for use with soft jaw inserts in chuck systems, providing a reliable interface for repeatable workholding across turning and fixture operations.

• 218 mm diameter for soft jaw setups
• Precise clamping for stable machining
• Compact weight at 2.4 kg

Consistent accuracy for repetitive turning and fixturing

A robust clamping solution delivers predictable results; the clamping ring acts as a uniform radial support when used with soft jaw inserts, ensuring concentric contact and minimised runout. The design focuses on even force distribution rather than aggressive bite, which benefits delicate or reworked components and reduces the need for repeated adjustment. This stability enables consistent cycle times and contributes to higher first-pass accuracy on series parts.

Faster changeovers and straightforward integration with chuck systems

Integration into established chuck setups is straightforward: the ring is specified for use with an 8-inch chuck jaw system and interfaces with soft jaw inserts to shorten fixture changeovers. Clear mechanical fitment reduces alignment work during setup, which translates into measurable time savings at the machine. Where quick toolchanger-style swaps are not an option, optimised accessory geometry supports efficient manual handling and repeatable repositioning between batches.

Practical workshop performance and handling benefits

Weighing 2.4 kg, the component is light enough for manual handling yet substantial enough to remain stable under clamping forces, aiding safe and efficient workshop routines. Constructed as a dedicated clamping component, the ring supports processes where controlled pressure and surface protection are required for softer jaws. Availability through a reliable supplier network helps maintain uninterrupted operations in production and repair environments.

FAQ

What applications is this clamping ring suitable for?
The VFR-08 clamping ring by Vertex is suitable for turning and fixturing operations where soft jaw inserts are used to protect or shape the workpiece surface.

Which chuck systems is the ring compatible with?
Compatibility is stated as for 8-inch chuck jaw systems; the VFR-08 is intended to integrate with standard 8‑inch jaw configurations and the corresponding soft jaw inserts.

How does the ring affect setup time?
By providing a defined interface for soft jaws, the clamping ring reduces alignment effort and supports quicker changeovers compared with ad hoc fixturing methods.

Is the VFR-08 heavy to handle during manual setup?
At 2.4 kg, the VFR-08 offers a balance between manageable handling and sufficient mass for stable clamping, suitable for routine manual installation and removal.

Can the clamping ring be used for delicate or reworked components?
Yes, when combined with soft jaw inserts the ring provides controlled pressure distribution, making it appropriate for delicate surfaces and reworked parts.
