VSC-3 — Vertex 3-jaw lathe chuck, Ø85 mm, 900 kgf clamping force

The VSC-3 is a robust three-jaw chuck designed for lathe clamping applications, delivering dependable centring and consistent performance for routine turning and holding tasks.

High clamping force 900 kgf
Nominal diameter Ø85 mm
Runout accuracy 0.03 mm
Suitable up to 2,500 r.p.m.

Accurate clamping that improves process reliability

The central feature of this chuck is a high clamping force of 900 kgf, paired with a specified runout accuracy of 0.03 mm. These figures translate into stable workholding and repeatable concentricity, which reduces rework and inspection time in production. The stated accuracy describes the maximum radial deviation under standard conditions; lower runout supports finer surface finish and tighter tolerances when turning cylindrical parts. This technical assurance supports a rational purchasing decision where geometry and consistency directly affect downstream operations.

Compact size and safe operating speeds for everyday turning

With a nominal diameter of Ø85 mm and a permitted rotational speed up to 2,500 r.p.m., this chuck is optimised for medium-duty lathe work. The 3-jaw chuck configuration provides self-centring action, which shortens clamping time and improves cycle times compared with manual centring methods. The combination of a compact footprint and defined speed limit helps to integrate the clamping unit into existing tooling setups while maintaining clear safety margins for common workshop applications.

Workshop efficiency through straightforward integration

The device is engineered for straightforward integration into standard turning workflows. A stable, repeatable clamping method reduces set-up variability and contributes to higher overall equipment effectiveness. Stocking decisions also benefit from a clearly specified component: the model is easy to reference by article number and replaces ambiguous choices in procurement lists. Metav’s role as a precision partner ensures rapid supply from a European distribution hub and provides a reliable channel for ordering and technical clarification.

Practical handling and upkeep to reduce downtime

Routine care—periodic cleaning of the jaw surfaces, lubrication of moving components and scheduled inspection of clamping performance—preserves the chuck’s service life and maintains low maintenance demands. Simple checks of concentricity and jaw condition are effective preventative measures and can be carried out during normal tooling changes. Clear technical specifications minimise guesswork during maintenance planning and support consistent machine availability on the shop floor.
