Three‑jaw chuck VSC‑4 — 112 mm diameter, 1,200 kgf clamping force (Vertex)

The Three‑jaw chuck VSC‑4 is designed as a reliable workholding solution for turning and general lathe operations across workshops and production environments

• 112 mm nominal diameter
• 1,200 kgf clamping force
• Up to 2,500 rpm operational speed
• Repeatability accuracy 0.03 mm

Consistent clamping that keeps production moving

The central advantage of this workholding device is its high clamping force, which provides a secure grip on the workpiece and reduces the likelihood of slippage during machining. With a rated 1,200 kgf capacity, the chuck maintains stable contact under cutting loads, supporting consistent surface finish and fewer rejects. The result is improved process reliability and a measurable reduction in downtime caused by re-clamping or part displacement.

Precision that minimises rework and inspection time

Accuracy is a key metric in precision turning. The unit delivers 0.03 mm repeatability, which supports tighter tolerances and more predictable part runout between cycles. For production environments where inspection steps add cost, this level of consistency helps to lower the frequency of corrective machining and the need for secondary measuring operations. The 112 mm nominal diameter provides a balance between compact footprint and practical jaw travel for a wide range of turning tasks.

Performance tailored to standard lathe speeds

The chuck is specified for operation up to 2,500 rpm, enabling efficient cycle times on typical shop-floor lathes without compromising concentricity. Operating at these spindle speeds, the device supports both batch and single-piece workflows, where rotational stability translates directly into improved tool life and surface integrity. The combination of speed capability and clamping capacity contributes to shorter machining cycles while preserving part quality.

Designed for straightforward integration and dependable use

Built for industrial use under Vertex quality standards, the VSC‑4 combines measurable technical data with practical benefits for workholding setups. The three-jaw configuration simplifies centring and reduces setup time compared with multi-component fixturing, while the documented repeatability and speed ratings allow planners to assess cycle capability with confidence. For applications requiring verified performance, the chuck’s specification aids in process planning and risk assessment.

FAQ

What machining tasks is this chuck suited for?
The VSC‑4 three‑jaw chuck is suited for general turning and standard lathe workholding where a 112 mm nominal diameter and strong clamping are required; its specification supports typical workshop turning operations.

How precise is the clamping performance?
The chuck offers a repeatability of 0.03 mm, which helps to maintain tight runout tolerances across repeated setups and reduces rework in serial production.

Can the VSC‑4 be used at high spindle speeds?
Yes, the VSC‑4 is rated for operation up to 2,500 rpm, enabling efficient cycle times on many conventional and CNC lathes without compromising concentricity.

What does the clamping force rating mean in practice?
A clamping force of 1,200 kgf indicates the chuck’s capacity to hold workpieces securely under cutting loads, improving stability and minimising the risk of slippage during machining.

Which identifier should be quoted when ordering or checking compatibility?
Please refer to the SKU VSC‑4 and the GTIN 4061905095818 when enquiring about this Vertex three‑jaw chuck.
