Vertex VSC-5 three‑jaw chuck — 132 mm diameter, 1500 kgf clamping force

The Vertex VSC-5 is a three‑jaw chuck engineered for secure, repetitive workholding on lathes and turning centres, offering robust clamping for medium‑duty production environments

• High clamping force 1500 kgf
• 132 mm nominal diameter
• Precision accuracy 0.03
• Max. speed 2,500 r.p.m.

Secure workholding that reduces rework

The VSC-5 delivers a measurable benefit in process reliability thanks to its high clamping force and consistent gripping behaviour. With a rated 1500 kgf of clamp capacity, the chuck maintains component position during machining, which reduces vibration and the likelihood of rework. The design focuses on a single core advantage per setup: reliable fixation that contributes directly to higher first‑pass yield in batch turning operations.

Precision that supports tighter tolerances

Engineered for repeatability, the chuck provides a defined concentricity performance that is reflected in the specified 0.03 mm accuracy and a nominal seating size of 132 mm. These figures indicate stable positioning across successive clamping cycles and help to maintain uniform part geometry. The specification for rotational speed up to 2,500 r.p.m. ensures the unit is suitable for common turning speeds used in conventional and CNC lathes while keeping balance and concentricity under control.

Practical integration with machine tools

The three‑jaw configuration offers a straightforward solution for round and hexagonal stock where centred gripping is required. The configuration supports quick mounting and repeatable centring on standard chucks and spindle interfaces, making the unit compatible with everyday workshop workflows on the lathe. The emphasis on a clear mechanical advantage—secure grip combined with straightforward setup—minimises downtime between batches and simplifies operator routines.

Built for steady production and dependable supply

Manufactured by Vertex and listed through Metav as a European supply option, this chuck is aimed at workshops needing dependable parts availability and consistent quality. The construction targets long service intervals and dependable repeatability to support ongoing production. Selecting components with documented technical values helps to build predictable processes and reduces unplanned stoppages in the machining cycle.

FAQ

What materials can be machined with this chuck?
The chuck is a mechanical workholding device; material suitability depends on the mounted tool and machine setup rather than the chuck itself, and the VSC-5 is commonly used for turning a wide range of metals when paired with appropriate tooling.

What does the accuracy value 0.03 indicate?
The stated 0.03 figure refers to the precision target for concentricity and repeatable positioning of the workpiece when clamped in the VSC-5, supporting consistent part geometry across batches.

Is the VSC-5 suitable for high‑speed turning?
The specification lists a maximum rotational speed of 2,500 r.p.m., which makes the chuck suitable for many standard turning applications; higher speeds should be evaluated against machine balance and workpiece geometry.

How is the clamping force specified expressed in practical terms?
The 1,500 kgf rating describes the mechanical clamping capacity of the chuck, indicating strong retention for medium‑duty turning operations and improved resistance to axial and radial displacement during machining.

Which Vertex model number should be quoted when ordering?
Quote the model VSC-5 and the GTIN 4061905096037 to ensure the correct three‑jaw chuck version is supplied.
