Precision Air Chucks

This is a model 650 tooled with special hardened and ground sub-jaws and inserts to grip (3) different hydraulic pistons. They look like head valves, but they are not. The changeable inserts grip the large diameter which is spherical. (see pdf drawng). Inserts repeat to 1/10,000 T.I.R. when removed and re-installed. A tail stock supports the opposite side. This is a turning operation.

Quick Change Air Chucks

This is a standard model 350 (.0001 T.I.R.) gripping a gun part. This part is located on the outer face of the Offset tab. Therefore the part is loaded into the jaws, compressing the spring ejector then the cross slide of The lathe moves into position and the chuck opens pushing the part against a hard stop. The chuck re-clamps
and the part is hard turned.

     

MODIFIED MODEL DPH-400W

Diaphragm Chucks

Above are (4) model DPH-400W (4in. dia.) diaphragm chucks with special jaws and stops. The stops have (3) small "Air Detect" holes for part seating conformation. Air is pumped through these holes, and when the part rests on the stop, the air pressure rises tripping a pressure switch telling the machine to start machining. The (4) clover adapters have grooves for a CAM follower to snap into to orient the chuck when stopped. Up top is an (8) passage rotary union to actuate all four chucks independently. Please call for further explanation. These are mounted to a (4) spindle Theilenhaus machine.

 

SPECIAL MODELDPH-400 4"

This is a Special DPH-400 4" Diaphragm Chuck that has all components coated with a super-thin coating of hard-chrome to protect it from corrosion. It is also set up with sideports and air-detect through the side of the axial locator as shown. This is used on an EDM machine.

     
     

CUSTOM DIAPHRAGM CHUCK

Precision Air Chucks

This custom 3 x 3 diaphragm chuck clamps the powdered metal gears (11 tooth). The upper and lower jaws flex separately to ensure clamping on the pitch line of the tapered gears.

 

PITCH LINE CHUCK MODEL 1000

Precision Air Chucks

This Pitch Line chuck grips the O.D. of 9 diameter helical gears. The pins are mounted in a loose fitting housing so they can float. The pins pick up the pitch diameter and the jaws grip the O.D. of the pins. The pitch is measured over pins, so we are gripping the same way they measure. This model 100 (10”dia.) chuck has two pin cages, one for a left hand helix and one for a right hand helix. The pin cages are changed out by removing (3) mounting screws.

Spring pins mounted in the locator, pickup 3 teeth in the sprocket to orient a timing hole on the backside to 45.648 degrees for finish machining. Hardened and ground top jaws are used to grip a 43.3mm internal diameter towards the top of the work piece.

 

HIGH SPEED BALANCING CHUCK
