VSK-14 – 355 mm heavy-duty lathe chuck with 4500 kgf clamping force (Vertex)

VSK-14 is a robust clamping chuck designed for secure workholding on medium to large turning and machining operations, offering high stability and consistent performance.

• 355 mm diameter for large workpieces
• High precision: 0.03 mm runout
• 4500 kgf clamping force
• Robust 60.7 kg weight for stability

Secure, stable workholding for larger components

The chuck delivers a combination of high clamping force and mass that reduces vibration and improves surface finish during machining. A 355 mm clamping diameter accommodates larger blanks and long workpieces while the substantial 60.7 kg body contributes to low dynamic displacement under load. For production environments where repeatability and stability are crucial, this configuration minimises rework and tool wear, translating into measurable efficiency gains on the shop floor.

Precision that supports tight tolerances

With an indicated runout of 0.03 mm, the component is engineered to maintain concentricity at the workpiece interface. Runout refers to the radial deviation during rotation; low values mean components are presented to the cutting tool more accurately, reducing the need for manual adjustment. The permitted operating speed of 1500 r.p.m. balances machining throughput with mechanical safety and precision, ensuring dimensional consistency across batches and allowing predictable cycle times in production planning.

Built for dependable workshop operation

The device is tailored to heavy-duty turning contexts and benefits from a design that prioritises mechanical resilience and balanced mass distribution. The 4500 kgf clamping force secures parts even under aggressive cutting conditions, improving process reliability and worker confidence. As a Vertex-manufactured chuck, the unit integrates with standard lathe interfaces and is suitable for continuous workshop use where a combination of endurance and precision matters most.
