1 Application range, safety instructions and technical data
1.1 Application range, determined use
The collet holders type Speedsynchro®Mini are used on CNC-machining centers with
synchronous control. They are intended for clamping of taps/cold-forming taps for
thread production.
Normally the Speedsynchro®Mini are equipped with the following shank:
BT 30 (DIN) ISO 7388-2 JD
Applicable for cutting range M1 –M6, please refer to Table 1, page 7.
The tap/cold-forming tap is locked via the collets according to DIN ISO 15488.
The collets must be chosen depending on the used type and used tap/cold-forming
tap, for more information please refer to chapter 2.6, page 15.
The collet holders type Speedsynchro®Mini are designed for coolant-lubricant
pressure up to 70 bar.
For correct use, the Speedsynchro® Mini must be secured against twisting in the
machine spindle. This requires a stop fixture adapted to the machine-side locking
block. For further details, please refer to chapter 2.2 page 8.
The non-determined use exempts the manufacturer from any liability.

Speedsynchro®Mini
Operating instruction edition: 13.09.2022 5
1.2 Specifications
Further characteristics of the Speedsynchro®Mini:
The Speedsynchro®Mini uses an integrated gear ratio of 1:4,412. (This enables the
machine spindle to be operated in a lower speed range, thus saving energy.)
The integrated minimal length compensation on tension and compression
compensates arising minimal pitch differences between synchronous spindle and
tap/cold forming tap possibly leading to high thread flank friction forces. A possible
increase of axial force during the thread producing cycle is reduced to a minimum.
The resulting advantages are:
- no mis-cutting of the threads
- optimized tool life of tap/cold-forming tap
The Speedsynchro®Mini has an NFC-Modul (NFC = Near Field Communication)
with integrated electronics. This takes and stores the operating data. An NFC-
enabled smartphone is required to read out the data (not included in the delivery).
For further details please refer to chapter 3, page 18.
Simple programming as synchronous cycle with feed programme adapted to the
transmission ratio.
The reversal of the tap/cold-forming tap is done by the machine spindle:
- no switching components in the Speedsynchro®Mini
- low wear and longer maintenance intervals
High changing speeds are possible due to the low weight (< 2 kg) and the compact
design.

2.3 Programming notes
The transmission ratio of the Speedsynchro®Mini is 1:4,412.
This results in the following programming guidelines.
Feed f
Rotational speed n of the machine spindle for the desired tool speed
Attention
The maximum speed at the machine spindle is: nMSP = 2.700 rpm
The maximum speed at the tool is: nTOOL = 11.912 rpm
Example: thread M2 / pitch P = 0,4 mm:
Desired rotational speed of threading tool:
nTOOL = 11.000 rpm
Required rotational speed of machine spindle:
nMSP = 11.000 rpm / 4,412 = 2.490 rpm
Required feed f, per revolution of the machine spindle:
f = 0,4 x 4,412 mm/rev. = 1,765mm/rev.
Der Speedsynchro®Mini is ready for use.
Attention
When working with internal coolant supply:
The maximum coolant-lubricant pressure is 70 bar.
The internal coolant is supplied centrally through the spindle.
√

2.5 Sealing disk / cooling disk
Application
The sealing disks or cooling disks are inserted into the clamping nuts for producing
threads with internal coolant supply. The sealing disks respectively the cooling disks
additionally avoid the penetration of dirt and chips into the collet slots. We do
recommend the use of sealing disks or cooling disks.
In contrast to the sealing disks, the cooling disks guide the coolant directly along the
tool.
Note
Normally a clamping nut for sealing disks/cooling disks is part of the delivery.
The sealing disk or cooling disk hasto be ordered separately, suitable for clamping
nut and clamping diameter!
Assembly of the sealing disk or cooling disk
1. Screw off the clamping nut
2. Insert sealing disk/cooling disk
into clamping nut as shown on
picture.
Push sealing disk/cooling disk
forward into clamping nut until

2.6 Collets
Application
The adaptation of the tap/cold-forming tap is done via collets type ER and/or ER/GB.
With collets type ER the tap/cold forming tap is centered and clamped via the shank
diameter. With collets type ER/GB the torque - arising during the thread producing
operation - is additionally transferred via the square integrated in the collet.
Note
Due to the better torque transmission we recommend the use of collets type ER/GB.
The collet sizes for the according SpeedsynchroMini may be taken from Table 1,
page 7. The clamping diameter is specified by the tap/cold-forming tap used.
Assembly of the collet
1. Insert collet into clamping nut,
tilt collet.
The groove of the collet must
engage in the eccentric ring of the
clamping nut at the marked
position. Tilt collet in opposite
direction until it clearly engages.
→Collet is flush with clamping nut
and/or sealing disk.
