VKC-8 four‑jaw independent chuck (200 mm) by Vertex — 1,350 r/min, 15.9 kg

A VKC-8 four‑jaw independent chuck designed for secure, adjustable clamping of irregular and concentric workpieces on lathes and turning centres.

• Independent four‑jaw clamping for irregular shapes
• 200 mm nominal diameter
• Rated up to 1,350 r/min
• T‑slots 4‑M10 for secure mounting

Consistent precision through independent jaw control

Independent jaw operation means each jaw can be set separately, allowing secure clamping of non‑cylindrical or off‑centre parts with minimal rework. The independent jaws reduce the need for specialised fixtures when turning irregular shapes, shortening setup times and improving throughput. For shop floors where adaptability matters, the jaw assembly provides repeatable positioning that supports tighter tolerances and fewer scrap parts. The VKC‑8 is engineered to maintain clamping accuracy throughout the machining cycle, contributing directly to consistent part quality.

Capacity and dynamic suitability for typical lathe work

With a 200 mm diameter capacity and a rated speed of 1,350 r/min, the chuck covers a broad range of medium‑sized turning tasks while matching common spindle speeds on universal and CNC lathes. The specified maximum speed indicates the dynamic operating envelope; within this range the device balances performance and safety. Selecting a chuck with matching diameter and speed rating helps avoid unnecessary spindle loading and supports stable cutting conditions, which in turn improves surface finish and tool life.

Practical mounting and workshop integration for faster set‑up

Mounting is simplified by T‑slots 4‑M10, which provide defined attachment points for adapter plates or bespoke fixtures, enabling rapid changeovers between jobs. The design reduces fixturing complexity and integrates easily into existing workholding systems. Clear numeric specifications for diameter, speed and fastening standardise procurement and spare‑part planning across the workshop, supporting efficient inventory control and predictable machine availability.
