High precision and less maintenance with 3- or 6 jaw power chuck

Press releaseIssued by SCHUNK and published as received — not written by Airframer’s editors.

The ROTA NCS combines high clamping forces, maximum precision and minimum effort!

Since the ROTA NCS is hermetically sealed against dirt and coolant, it is maintenance-free. All functional parts are hardened and ground, which ensures a long lifetime.

The sealed 6-jaw power chuck from SCHUNK is a trend-setting lathe chuck suitable for demanding precision machining. With active pull-down force distributed on six jaws, highest axial run-out accuracy, and the best run-out available, SCHUNK shows users new possibilities for the highest quality in metal cutting.

Thanks to the active pull-down effect, it produces the best results in terms of plane parallelism and rectangularity. The achievable axial run-out accuracy is less than 0.01 mm. Six pendulum jaws ensure a high true running accuracy and minimum deformation of the work piece. The ROTA NCS 6-jaw power chuck is a superior lathe chuck for high precision serial production.

The NCS allows for precise clamping of noncircular components, making it ideal for rings and cast parts. Thin-walled work pieces are clamped with utmost care and with little deformation. The integrated permanent lubrication ensures a constant jaw clamping force and hence a permanently high level of efficiency. The NCS is hermetically sealed, and is largely maintenance-free. All functional parts are hardened and ground which ensures a long tool life. With its low height, the chuck ensures that there is sufficient space in the machine.

The ROTA NCS 6-jaw power chuck is available in sizes 250, 315, 400 and 500.
