About CNC ER COLLETS
If your CNC tooling requirements include an ER collet, we have collet sizes ER11 to ER 50 for shank sizes 1/16 to 1inch and metric sizes from 1mm to 25mm.Also we have Nuts, Spanners, Adaptors, and a COMPLETE RANGE in CNC Toolings.
Wide Series and Versatile ApplicationOur CNC ER Collets come in a comprehensive range, from ER8 through ER50. This variety accommodates different tool shank diameters, making them suitable for multiple machining applications such as drilling, milling, tapping, and reaming. Their compatibility with both metric and imperial sizes offers flexibility for various industry requirements.
Exceptional Precision and PerformanceEngineered for tight tolerances, these collets deliver a runout of just 0.008 mm and cutting accuracy within 0.005 mm to 0.015 mm. The mirror finish and precision ground surfaces ensure smooth tool holding, while high gripping force and stable torque transfer support consistent, precise machining operations.
Durability and Reliable ProtectionEach collet is built from high-quality alloy or spring steel with a hardness rating between 58-62 HRC, ensuring wear resistance and longevity. Oil coating guards against rust while the uncoated surface maintains exacting tolerances. They withstand temperatures up to 350C, supporting demanding machining environments.
FAQs of CNC ER COLLETS:
Q: How do I select the correct ER collet size for my tool shank?
A: To choose the right ER collet, match the tool shank diameter (in metric or imperial units) with the corresponding clamping range of the ER series (ER8ER50). The correct fit ensures optimal clamping force and concentricity during machining operations.
Q: What is the process for installing and removing CNC ER collets?
A: Installation involves inserting the collet into the ER nut, then fitting your tool and tightening the assembly onto the collet chuck manually. To remove, simply loosen the nut, which releases the tool and collet. Always ensure proper alignment and torque for safe operation.
Q: When should CNC ER collets be replaced?
A: ER collets should be replaced when they show visible signs of wear, reduced clamping force, surface damage, or difficulty achieving specified concentricity or runout tolerance. Routine inspection ensures collets maintain their precision and performance.
Q: Where are CNC ER collets typically used?
A: These collets are widely used in CNC lathes, CNC milling machines, and machining centers across manufacturing facilities for tool holding in processes like drilling, reaming, tapping, and milling. Their broad clamping range and compatibility make them suitable for diverse industrial environments.
Q: What benefits do mirror-finished ER collets offer?
A: Mirror-finished surfaces on ER collets provide reduced friction, improved tool holding stability, and easier cleaning. This finish contributes to both the longevity of the collet and the precision of machining operations.
Q: How does oil coating benefit CNC ER collets?
A: Oil coating protects the collets from corrosion and rust during storage and usage, thereby extending their lifespan without compromising precision or performance. Regular wiping and oiling are recommended for ongoing rust prevention.
Q: Can CNC ER collets be used with both metric and imperial-sized tools?
A: Yes, the design of CNC ER collets allows for secure clamping of both metric and imperial tool shanks, offering versatility for different tooling systems and international standards.
