Take advantage of the combination of high clamping force and industrial-grade precision to secure repeatable results in turning operations; the compact design also eases integration into smaller spindles. Order the VSK-5 directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed.

VSK-5 clamping chuck — 32 mm diameter, 1500 kgf clamping force (Vertex)

The VSK-5 is a compact clamping chuck for lathe and turning applications, engineered to deliver secure holding and consistent concentricity for short-run production and workshop use.

• 32 mm diameter for compact setups
• 1500 kgf clamping force for secure hold
• Precision 0.03 mm for repeatable accuracy

Stable holding for precision turning

The VSK-5 is built to provide dependable workpiece retention, combining a 1500 kgf clamping force with an advertised precision 0.03 mm to reduce vibration and tool chatter. This level of stability supports more accurate finishes and tighter tolerances, which in turn lowers scrap rates and shortens rework cycles. The design focuses on translating clamping energy into concentric, repeatable holding rather than relying on oversized mass, which benefits cycle times on medium-duty turning tasks.

Compact form that fits tight machine envelopes

With a 32 mm nominal diameter and a compact footprint, the chuck integrates into smaller spindles and toolholders while maintaining performance. The relatively light mass of 5 kg reduces centrifugal load and makes dynamic balancing simpler at operating speeds up to 2500 r.p.m., supporting safe, high-speed operation where appropriate. The compact layout also aids accessibility during setup and inspection, enabling quicker changeovers and improved shop-floor efficiency.

Robust specification and workshop suitability

Designed by Vertex for industrial workshop environments, the chuck is specified for routine lathe clamping tasks where high holding force and fine runout control are required. The solid construction supports frequent use in production and repair operations, and the clear numeric ratings for clamping force, accuracy and speed simplify machine selection and process planning. For applications requiring documented traceability, the product is supplied with identifiable SKU and GTIN data to support inventory and asset management.
