Step Chucks
HARDINGE STEP CHUCKS
5C Emergency Types With Closers To Suit Taper & Threaded Spindles
- Regular-depth rated sizes – 2”, 3”, 4”, 5”, 6” & 7” O/D’s.
- Regular-depth rated sizes are actually 3/8” larger on diameter than the rated diameter so the full rated capacity bore can be easily machined to the maximum depth of 0.5”.
- Extra-depth rated sizes – 2”, 3”, 4”, 5” & 6” O/D’s.
- Extra-depth rated sizes are actually 3/4” larger on diameter than the rated diameter so the full rated capacity bore can be easily machined to the maximum depth of 1 1/4”.
- Supplied with pin holes & pins which are located outside of the maximum rated capacity of the step chuck.
Please Note:-
- A regular or extra-depth closer is required for each rated size.
- Hardinge emergency step chucks are not designed to be heat treated by the customer.
- Step chucks with small closing angles are available for use with stationary (non-rotating) Workholding devices only. Closers are required for all rotating step chuck applications.
- 5C taper and threaded nose closers are made from cast iron. All other Hardinge closers are made from steel.
