RÖHM Products of America, a provider of clamping and gripping technology, has introduced the new DURO-A RC power chuck. The new power chuck is designed to reduce set - up times considerably due to its quick jaw change system that allows the jaws to be adjusted , reversed or swapped out in 50 seconds.
“Designed to meet the needs of manufacturers as turning centers with integrated spindle motor technology become more common, the DURO-A RC power chuck unlocks the full potential of those machines. Traditional power chucks often cannot keep up with newer spindles’ rotational speeds and acceleration/ deceleration rates due to the heavy weight and loss of dynamic clamping force of those chucks,” said a company spokesperson.
To overcome this challenge, the DURO - A RC’s billet steel body has a compact, lightweight design, with an overall height that is reduced by 14%. It features centrifugal force compensation that allows for fast speeds and feeds, as well as power consumption savings of up to 17%. The chuck’s interchangeable back plate further provides convenient adaptability to fit to a range of lathe spindles.
With the quick jaw-change system and individual unlocking, the jaws can be adjusted, reversed or swapped in just 50 seconds. “A decisive competitive factor, quick-change capabilities unlock increased process improvements by eliminating a common bottleneck in manufacturing,” said the spokesperson.
