Clamping chuck VSK-10 — heavy‑duty lathe chuck with 4800 kgf clamping force

A Clamping chuck VSK-10 for secure workholding in turning and machining applications, suited to larger, demanding components where repeatability and stability are required

• Diameter 273 mm
• Clamping force 4800 kgf
• Runout accuracy 0.03 mm
• Max speed 1,800 rpm

Stable gripping for heavy workpieces and higher productivity

The VSK‑10 is designed to convert its significant clamping force into reliable contact between chuck jaws and the workpiece, reducing slippage and enabling higher metal‑cutting stability. With a large Ø 273 mm face and substantial mass, the chuck supports repeatable set‑ups that shorten rework cycles and improve throughput. The mechanical advantage of the high clamping power is particularly valuable in process chains that demand consistent concentricity and tight tolerances; this results in fewer rejects and more predictable machining times.

Precision where concentricity and surface finish matter

The specified accuracy of 0.03 mm indicates tight radial runout control, which translates into better concentricity and improved surface finish on turned components. Combined with a rated top speed of 1,800 rpm, the unit suits a range of spindle speeds typical for medium‑ to heavy‑duty lathes. Maintaining low runout reduces vibration and tool wear, so the chuck helps to preserve cutter life and stabilise cycle times — a rational gain for production planning and cost control.

Built for workshop reliability and straightforward integration

Weighing 26.7 kg, the chuck provides mass that aids rotational stability during cutting while remaining manageable for mounting and maintenance. As a component from Vertex, the design focuses on durability and consistent performance under repetitive industrial use. Metav Werkzeuge’s role as a European quality filter and logistics hub ensures dependable delivery and traceable sourcing, supporting uninterrupted production runs and inventory planning.
