Independent Four-Jaw Chuck VKC-6 – 160 mm, independent jaws by Vertex

An Independent Four-Jaw Chuck VKC-6 for versatile workholding on lathes and turning centres, designed to grip irregular, round and square components with individual jaw adjustment

• Independent jaw adjustment for irregular workpieces
• 160 mm diameter for medium-sized components
• Max speed 1,500 r.p.m. for reliable turning
• 4 × M10 mounting; robust 8.3 kg construction

Faster setups and repeatable clamping for varied parts

The independent jaws enable each jaw to be positioned separately, which is particularly useful when securing off-centre or irregularly shaped components. This flexibility reduces the need for specialised fixtures and shortens set-up time, supporting higher throughput in jobbing environments. With a nominal 160 mm diameter, the clamping range covers many medium-sized parts while maintaining the repeatability required for consistent turning and finishing operations.

Stable rotation and secure attachment improve surface quality

Built for dependable rotation, the chuck reaches up to 1,500 r.p.m., matching the demands of common lathe and turning-centre cycles. Attachment uses 4 × M10 mounting points for a secure backplate connection, and the unit’s 8.3 kg mass contributes to damping and better torque transfer. Together, these characteristics help to reduce vibration, improve surface finish and lower the risk of scrap—attributes that translate directly into time and cost savings on the shop floor.

Practical compatibility and workshop benefits

As a robust four-jaw solution from Vertex, the VKC-6 supports a wide range of workshop tasks without the immediate need for special jaws or complex fixtures. The individual jaw control suits batch work with varying part profiles, while the solid construction gives confidence in repeated operations. Combined with Metav’s quality-controlled stocking in Emmerich and access to product expertise, the chuck is a pragmatic choice for maintenance departments and small to medium-sized production cells seeking reliable, flexible clamping.
