VKC-25 independent four‑jaw chuck — 630 mm diameter, 280 r.p.m., Vertex

The VKC-25 independent four‑jaw chuck provides adaptable lathe clamping for large turning and heavy‑duty machining operations, offering a solution for irregular and asymmetrical workpieces where controlled, individual jaw adjustment is required

*Independent jaw adjustment for irregular blanks *630 mm swing for large workpieces *Rated speed 280 r.p.m. for stable rotation *Robust 162 kg cast construction

Heavy‑duty stability for large turning operations

The construction of this chuck focuses on stable, repeatable clamping for demanding turning tasks: the 630 mm swing capacity combined with a 162 kg cast body delivers a low centre of gravity and reduced vibration during rotation. The mass and geometry of the assembly provide a solid foundation for machining larger diameters, which in turn supports consistent surface quality and longer tool life. Operators will benefit from more predictable dynamic behaviour on the machine spindle when processing heavy or elongated components.

Precision clamping for complex and asymmetrical parts

Individual jaw control enables exact centring and adaptation to non‑cylindrical blanks, converting manual adjustments into dependable clamping accuracy. The independent design of the chuck allows correction of runout and off‑centre stock without modification to the workpiece, improving precision and shortening setup time. This targeted adjustability supports higher effective throughput in batch production of bespoke parts and reduces the need for secondary fixturing operations.

Mounting compatibility and operational efficiency

Mounting provisions include 4‑M20 t‑slots for secure attachment to compatible faceplates or adapters, simplifying integration into existing lathe setups. The nominal running speed of 280 r.p.m. is specified for stable performance with substantial workpiece mass. Supplied as a heavy‑duty clamping solution from Vertex, the design emphasises durability and low maintenance, with straightforward access for routine inspection and lubrication to preserve clamping integrity over extended service intervals.
