Vertex VSC-10 three-jaw chuck – Ø273 mm, 4,800 kgf clamping force

A three-jaw chuck VSC-10 engineered for secure workholding on lathes and turning centres, combining high clamping power with fine radial accuracy

• 273 mm nominal diameter
• 4,800 kgf clamping force
• 0.03 mm runout accuracy
• 1,800 rpm maximum speed

Secure holding that reduces rework and downtime

The combination of 4,800 kgf clamping force and a specified 0.03 mm runout accuracy delivers a stable grip and consistent concentricity, which translates into fewer rejects and less post-process correction. High radial precision means that turning and finishing passes run with predictable results, reducing fixture adjustments and improving first-pass yield. The design intent is to support both robust axial loads and fine-detail machining, making the device suited to demanding turning tasks.

Controlled speed for reliable rotation and surface quality

Rated for a maximum speed of 1,800 rpm, the chuck is optimised for medium-speed turning where balance between torque and surface finish is required. Operating within the specified speed range helps maintain the declared runout accuracy and prevents thermal or vibrational effects that could compromise tolerances. Clear alignment between rotational capability and mechanical clamping ensures repeatable surface quality and longer tool life on subsequent operations.

Practical dimensions to match common workshop setups

With a diameter of 273 mm, the chuck offers a versatile footprint for many workshop requirements without occupying excessive spindle real estate. The three-jaw configuration simplifies centring and shortens setup times on symmetrical workpieces, enabling quicker changeovers between batches. Where radial accuracy and robust clamping are priorities, this configuration supports efficient throughput while maintaining machining precision.

Industrial consistency and traceable identification

Designed as an industrial-grade workholding solution, the chuck is supplied under the Vertex line and identified as VSC-10, enabling straightforward stock management and traceability. The specification set—nominal 273 mm diameter, 4,800 kgf clamping force, 0.03 mm accuracy and 1,800 rpm rating—provides a clear technical basis for process planning and quality control. Documentation including technical drawings supports integration into standard operating procedures and inspection regimes.
