VKC-10 Independent Four-Jaw Chuck, Ø250 mm, Vertex

The VKC-10 independent four-jaw chuck for lathe applications provides flexible, accurate clamping of irregular and prismatic workpieces in workshop and light industrial use

• Independent jaw operation for irregular parts
• Ø250 mm nominal chuck diameter
• Max speed 1,100 r.p.m. for standard lathes
• T-slots 4-M12 for secure mounting

Faster set-ups through adjustable jaws

The independent jaws allow each jaw to be positioned separately, which reduces time spent fitting off-centre or odd-shaped stock and supports quick, incremental alignment. This approach increases process efficiency by removing the need for bespoke fixtures for every non-cylindrical component. The feature improves throughput where repeat clamping accuracy and adaptability are required, while the robust design contributes to consistent repeatability across batches.

Stable performance for everyday workshop demands

Built to provide a solid interface between machine spindle and workpiece, the chuck’s Ø250 mm diameter and overall mass yield improved stability during machining. The specified 1,100 r.p.m. maximum speed is suitable for a broad range of turning operations on standard lathes, balancing cutting performance and safe rotational limits. Integration with existing setups is simplified by the T-slots 4‑M12, which permit positive, repeatable mounting and reduce vibration for cleaner surface finishes and longer tool life.

Versatility that reduces tooling complexity

Independent clamping means one device handles a wider variety of geometries, from asymmetric castings to square bar, decreasing the requirement for multiple dedicated fixtures. The design supports stepwise jaw adjustment and controlled clamping pressure, which helps protect delicate faces while ensuring secure holding for more aggressive cuts. As a result, workshops achieve greater flexibility without sacrificing process control.

FAQ

How does an independent four-jaw chuck differ from a self‑centering chuck?
An independent four-jaw chuck allows each jaw to be adjusted separately, while a self‑centering chuck moves all jaws simultaneously; the VKC-10 independent four-jaw chuck by Vertex therefore enables precise off‑centre clamping for irregular workpieces.

What maximum spindle speed is recommended for the VKC-10?
The VKC-10 is specified for a maximum of 1,100 r.p.m., matching common lathe speeds where stability and safe clamping are priorities.

Can the VKC-10 be mounted on standard lathe spindles?
Yes, the VKC-10 features mounting provisions and T-slots 4‑M12 to facilitate secure attachment to compatible spindle mounts or backplates.

Is the VKC-10 suitable for holding asymmetric or square stock?
The independent jaw operation of the VKC-10 is specifically intended for irregular and prismatic stock, offering controlled and repeatable clamping for such geometries.

What identifiers should be quoted when ordering this chuck?
Please reference the Vertex VKC-10 independent four-jaw chuck and the SKU VKC-10 or GTIN 4061905086267 when enquiring or ordering.
