VSK-16 clamping chuck by Vertex — 405 mm diameter, 4,500 kgf clamping force

A robust VSK-16 clamping chuck engineered for heavy-duty workholding on lathes and machining centres, offering secure part retention and consistent concentricity for precision turning and finishing operations

• 405 mm diameter for large workpieces
• 4,500 kgf clamping force
• 0.03 mm accuracy for precise runout
• Suitable up to 1,500 r.p.m.

Reliable performance under heavy load

The VSK-16 combines a high clamping force with a large-diameter interface to secure substantial components during machining. A rated 4,500 kgf clamping force reduces the risk of part movement and enables more aggressive cutting parameters, which can shorten cycle times and improve throughput. The chuck’s considerable 82.3 kg mass also contributes to machining stability by damping vibrations, resulting in smoother surface finishes and prolonged tool life. For production environments where part slippage is not an option, this workholding solution supports consistent, measurable outcomes.

Precision that protects part quality

Accuracy is central to dependable workholding. With a specified 0.03 mm accuracy, concentricity and runout are minimised, which is critical for components requiring tight dimensional tolerances. For users less familiar with runout terminology: this value indicates the maximum radial deviation between the clamped part and the spindle axis, so a lower figure means better alignment. The combination of stable centring and precise grip reduces rework and scrap rates, translating into predictable quality control and a lower cost per part in series production.

Integration and operational advantages

Designed for practical workshop integration, the chuck supports rotational speeds up to 1,500 r.p.m., matching a broad range of turning and finishing operations without compromising safety margins. The robust construction and standardised interface simplify mounting and maintenance routines, while its large diameter makes it suitable for workpieces that would challenge smaller devices. Where mass and rigidity matter for vibration control, the unit’s weight and build quality provide tangible benefits for surface integrity and dimensional stability across diverse applications.
