Clamping ring VFR-10 – Ø 258 mm, for soft jaws | Vertex

Clamping ring VFR-10 for secure retention of soft jaw attachments in workshop chucks

• Clamping ring for soft jaw attachments
• Diameter 258 mm for medium chucks
• Fits 10 in clamping jaws
• Robust 3 kg construction

Reliable precision for soft-jaw clamping

The VFR-10 clamping ring delivers a stable interface between the chuck and soft jaws, providing consistent seating and repeatable clamping positions. With a clearly stated Ø 258 mm diameter, the part supports predictable set-up routines and reduces the need for iterative adjustments. This measurable dimension enables straightforward planning in jigging and fixture design, helping to maintain process repeatability and part quality in serial operations.

Faster changeovers and reduced machining downtime

Designed for seamless integration into existing chuck arrangements that accept 10 in jaws, the ring shortens changeover times by enabling secure attachment of soft jaw inserts without additional adapters. The combination of defined diameter and compatibility with standard jaw sizes supports lean workflows; fewer tools are required for a given task, and machine uptime improves. This efficiency argument is backed by the ring’s straightforward mechanical function rather than by subjective claims.

Clear compatibility and safe handling explained

Compatibility is communicated through standardised values: fits 10 in clamping jaws and weighs 3 kg, which allows planners to assess handling and storage requirements in advance. Soft jaws are removable jaw inserts used to protect delicate workpieces or to provide specific clamping contours; the clamping ring creates a stable mounting surface for these inserts, preventing unwanted movement during machining. The concise, factual presentation of these data supports informed purchasing and operational decisions.

Practical durability and straightforward maintenance

Engineered to function as a workshop-grade component, the ring’s robust construction reduces the frequency of replacement and supports consistent clamping behaviour over time. Routine inspection focuses on seating surfaces and the interface with soft jaws; maintenance is limited to keeping the contact areas clean and free from chips or coolant residues. This pragmatic approach ensures long-term reliability without complex servicing schedules.

FAQ

What is the primary use of this clamping ring?
The clamping ring is intended to provide a stable mounting surface for soft jaw attachments, improving repeatability when securing delicate or shaped workpieces.

Will the VFR-10 fit existing 10 in chucks?
Yes, the VFR-10 is specified to fit 10 in clamping jaws and is designed for direct integration with compatible chuck systems.

How heavy is the clamping ring and what does that mean for handling?
The ring weighs 3 kg, which informs manual handling considerations and storage; lighter lifting aids or two-person handling may be used depending on workshop practice.

Does the clamping ring require special maintenance?
Maintenance is limited to routine cleaning of the seating surfaces and inspection for wear; no specialised servicing is required for normal workshop use.

Can the ring be used with custom soft jaws or only standard types?
The ring is designed to accept soft jaw attachments; compatibility with custom jaws depends on the jaw design but the Ø 258 mm datum and the 10 in jaw compatibility provide the key interfaces for assessment.
