VSK-8 chuck — Vertex 200 mm diameter, 3,600 kgf clamping force

The VSK-8 chuck is a heavy-duty workholding device engineered for secure clamping in machining applications, suited to tasks that demand both force and repeatable concentricity

• 200 mm nominal diameter
• 3,600 kgf clamping force
• Runout accuracy 0.03 mm
• Rated up to 2,000 r.p.m.

Secure clamping for continuous production

A high clamping force is a cornerstone of reliable machining. With a rated 3,600 kgf, this chuck provides the physical retention needed to resist cutting forces and reduce slippage during operation. The large 200 mm nominal diameter increases the contact area for bigger components, helping to distribute load and lower the risk of local deformation. By prioritising a robust grip, the workholding solution supports longer uninterrupted cycles and fewer manual interventions, which translates into steadier throughput and improved overall equipment effectiveness.

Precision that lowers rework and shortens inspection

Repeatability is expressed here as accuracy 0.03 mm, a runout figure that indicates how close the clamped centre remains to the spindle axis during rotation. Lower runout means better concentricity between tool and workpiece, which reduces tool wear, improves surface finish and decreases the frequency of rework. For users with limited metrology expertise, runout can be understood as the radial deviation of a rotating part; the smaller the number, the more predictable the machining result. This focus on measurable precision delivers clear time and cost benefits at inspection and in downstream processes.

Practical integration for workshop environments

Operational limits and handling characteristics matter on the shop floor. The chuck is specified for rotation up to 2,000 r.p.m. and has a mass of 14.7 kg, which influences mounting and balancing decisions during installation. A compact weight facilitates manual handling while remaining substantial enough to ensure structural stability during cuts. The straightforward numeric specifications allow planners to assess compatibility with existing spindles and balancing routines without guesswork. Where certainty is required, the Vertex origin and the provided technical values help to align procurement with in-house process constraints.

FAQ

What clamping force does the chuck provide?
The VSK-8 chuck delivers a clamping force of 3,600 kgf, designed to secure workpieces against typical turning and machining forces.

What is the nominal diameter and how does it affect use?
The nominal diameter is 200 mm; larger diameter increases contact area and is beneficial for clamping bigger components with improved load distribution.

How should the runout figure be interpreted?
The specified accuracy 0.03 mm refers to radial runout; it indicates the maximum expected deviation from true concentric rotation and helps predict surface finish and tool life.

What rotational speed is permissible with this chuck?
The chuck is rated up to 2,000 r.p.m.; adherence to this limit supports safe operation and maintains the stated accuracy during rotation.

Is the chuck suitable for heavy-duty machining tasks?
Given the 3,600 kgf clamping force and 200 mm diameter, the chuck is suited for demanding clamping tasks; spindle compatibility and dynamic balancing should be confirmed for specific machine setups.
