380mm Clamping Ring For Soft Jaws, For 15" Chuck - Vertex

Benefit from reliable, repeatable workholding thanks to the combination of a 380 mm clamping diameter and compatibility with 15‑inch soft jaws, together with a stable mass of 10.1 kg that reduces vibration and part movement. Order the clamping ring directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants for help with chuck compatibility and mounting.

VFR-15 clamping ring — 380 mm diameter for 15‑inch soft jaws (Vertex)

VFR-15 clamping ring provides even pressure distribution for delicate workpieces and is intended for use with soft chuck jaws in medium to heavy‑duty workshop applications

• 380 mm diameter for large workpieces
• Designed for 15-inch chuck jaws
• Compatible with soft chuck jaws
• Solid 10.1 kg for stable clamping

Even clamping that protects soft jaws and parts

A dedicated clamping ring such as this is engineered to distribute contact forces evenly across the jaw faces, reducing localised pressure points that can damage delicate components. The generous 380 mm diameter increases the clamping surface area and lowers unit pressure on soft jaw material, which in turn preserves jaw geometry and minimises rework. For process planners, this translates into improved repeatability and fewer part rejections during batch production, and for workshop technicians it means less frequent jaw refurbishment or replacement.

Stability and simpler setup for faster machining cycles

The ring’s substantial mass of 10.1 kg provides inertial stability that dampens vibration during clamping and initial spindle engagement, supporting more consistent clamping torque and reducing micro‑movement of the workpiece. Designed to mate with a 15‑inch chuck jaw configuration, the component integrates with standard workholding systems for straightforward installation. The design intent is to shorten setup times and support higher first‑pass accuracy, which benefits cycle time and throughput without introducing complex mounting procedures.

Trusted supply and practical workshop benefits

Produced under the Vertex range, the unit adheres to established workshop expectations for mechanical robustness and dimensional conformity. Procuring the ring through Metav Werkzeuge ensures access to stock held for the European market and the logistic reassurance of local distribution. The availability of a purpose‑built clamping ring for soft jaws helps maintain part quality across serial jobs and supports the wider aim of making precision affordable: lower downtime, centralised procurement with a broad product assortment, and dependable replenishment for industrial and craft workshops.
