Vertex VKC-5 Independent Four-Jaw Chuck — 125 mm, 1,900 r.p.m.

A Vertex VKC-5 independent four-jaw chuck designed for secure, adjustable clamping of irregular, square or asymmetrical workpieces on lathes and turning centres

• Independent four-jaw operation
• 125 mm nominal diameter
• Rated speed 1,900 r.p.m.
• T-slots 4 × M8

Precise, adaptable clamping for diverse workpieces

The independently adjustable jaws deliver flexibility when handling off-centre or non-circular stock. By setting each jaw separately, the clamping device allows controlled positioning of the workpiece for turning or profiling operations while maintaining stable contact under load. This approach reduces the need for custom fixtures and speeds up set-up for small series or maintenance tasks, improving throughput without sacrificing repeatability.

Balanced design for safe, high-speed operation

With a nominal diameter of 125 mm and a maximum permitted speed of 1,900 r.p.m., the VKC-5 is sized for a broad range of medium-duty turning applications. The unit's mass of 5.1 kg contributes to mechanical stability while the mounting interface features T-slots 4 × M8, enabling secure attachment to standard spindle faces or adapter plates. These characteristics combine to support reliable rotational balance and compatibility with many workshop machines.

Practical benefits that reduce setup time

The unit's configuration simplifies clamping of square, rectangular or odd-shaped blanks, cutting down on improvisation and secondary tooling. Fewer bespoke fixtures mean shorter lead times and a more consistent workflow on the shop floor. Paired with Metav's logistics and product range, the chuck fits into an efficient supply chain that emphasises accessibility of precision components and dependable stock levels for industry users.

FAQ

How do independent jaws affect clamping precision?
Independent jaws allow individual adjustment of each jaw, so the VKC-5 can centre and secure non-round or eccentric parts with controlled contact and reduced need for special fixtures.

Which machines is this chuck compatible with?
The VKC-5 is intended for lathes and turning centres that accept a 125 mm chuck and can operate within the stated maximum speed of 1,900 r.p.m.

How is the chuck mounted to a spindle face?
Mounting uses T-slots (4 × M8) as specified; ensure appropriate adapter plates and correct torque on fastenings for safe operation.

Can the chuck hold square or rectangular stock reliably?
Yes — the independent jaw arrangement is particularly suited to square and rectangular workpieces, enabling stable contact points without special jaws.

What basic maintenance does the chuck require?
Regular cleaning of the jaw slides, light lubrication of moving parts and inspection of mounting fastenings prolong service life and preserve performance.
