Magnetic chuck VGF-1018B — Vertex, fine pole distribution, 50 mm height

The Magnetic chuck VGF-1018B is a low-profile magnetic clamping plate engineered for reliable holding of ferrous workpieces in milling, grinding and general machining environments.

• Fine pole distribution for small parts
• Magnetic force rating 28 for stable clamping
• Compact 50 mm height for low-profile setups
• Solid 7 kg mass for improved stability

Faster setups and predictable clamping performance

The compact design delivers a measurable advantage in cycle times: the magnetic force rating of 28 provides consistent holding power while the fine pole distribution reduces the minimum contact area required for small components. This pole layout increases contact points and improves surface conformity, which helps to reduce vibration and minimise rework. The reduced clamping variability translates into shorter set-up durations and greater process reliability for repetitive series production, increasing throughput without changing tooling.

Low-profile design for closer tool approach and greater flexibility

A slim 50 mm profile allows a closer approach of the cutting tool and lowers the workpiece centre of gravity, enabling more rigid support and safer machining when space is limited. The relatively solid 7 kg mass contributes to damping during cutting, while the compact footprint supports easy integration into existing fixtures or machine tables. For workshops seeking to optimise spindle access and reduce overhang, the compact profile enhances machining options and simplifies fixture design.

Practical workshop use and support from an experienced supplier

Maintenance is straightforward: keeping the pole faces clean and free of swarf preserves clamping efficiency and surface quality. The simple mechanical concept avoids complex service routines and suits both shop-floor use and demanding tooling environments. Metav Werkzeuge combines a broad product range with application know-how; their catalogue and advisory service support the selection and integration of Vertex clamping solutions, backed by a European logistics hub that acts as a quality filter for reliable supply.

FAQ

What size workpieces suit this magnetic chuck best?
The Vertex magnetic chuck VGF-1018B performs well with small to medium ferrous workpieces where a fine pole distribution is required for improved contact and positioning.

How does the fine pole distribution affect machining results?
Finer pole spacing increases contact points and reduces marking on small components, so the VGF-1018B helps to improve surface finish and reduces the need for secondary operations.

Is the VGF-1018B suitable for low-clearance setups?
Yes, the compact 50 mm profile is designed to allow a closer tool approach, making it appropriate for low-clearance fixtures and tight machine environments.

What basic maintenance does the chuck require?
Regular cleaning of the pole faces and removal of swarf preserves clamping performance; the VGF-1018B relies on straightforward upkeep rather than complex servicing.

Can the magnetic chuck be integrated into existing fixtures?
The VGF-1018B’s compact format and standard mounting dimensions support easy integration into fixtures and machine tables for improved flexibility.
