1.3 Intended Use
Use the collet chucks only for the intended use. Insufficiently clamped tools or work-pieces, failure
to comply „safety and accident prevention regulations“, and the use of work-pieces and our
products on machines that are not intended for this propose, can result in personal injury and
damages to the clamping devices. In this case, we shall assume no liability. Do not apply force
during assembly, disassembly and operation; this could damage the clamping device or the
machine.
1.4 Initial start-up
A function check is implicitly before initial operation of the collet chuck. To ensure a safe and
precise operation of the collet chuck during machining, a sufficient clamping force must be
provided. Check the clamping force.
The collet chuck, especially the function surfaces must be clean and lubricated sufficiently.
Never exceed the axial and radial forces specified on the chuck. Pay attention to the max. RPM.
Check the clamping force regularly!
Avoid pressure to the lever during operation. The bearing jaws and the curve rollers run hot and
get damaged quickly.

2 Product description
Lever
-
operated chuck
SSF
This collet chuck is especially designed for
machines without an operating cylinder.
Usually, the clamping force is initiated manually
to the lever. On larger production series, the
chuck can be automated by a lever, operated by
a compressed air cylinder.
Function:
The lever pushes the exterior sleeve axial to the front. Thereby, the operating force is transmitted
via ball-bearing balls onto the interior pressure sleeve which closes the collet. Clamping occurs
with a self-locking effect. Avoid pressure to the lever during operation of the chuck (rotation). The
bearing jaws and the curve rollers run hot and get damaged quickly which increases wear.
Your benefit:
- Designated to machines without an operating cylinder, also intended as clamping device on
indexing tables.
- No axial movement of workpieces due to clamping by pressure
- It is possible to use Rubber-Flex® collets as well as steel collets acc. DIN 6343.
- With the use of Rubber-Flex® RFC collets, workpiece-diameter tolerances of 0.7 mm can be
equalized without adjusting the cap.
- Automatable by the use of a pneumatic cylinder
On request we are modifying the lever-operated chucks according to your special clamping
application. Contact us for additional information!

1.
- Disassemble the chuck (1)
(Lever, cap, sleeve)
- Pay attention Do not loose any ball-bearing
balls!
- Mount the main body onto the spindle nose.
Check run-out (2)
(See:Check run-out p.9).
- Mind the proper torque! (3)

3.1 Check run-out
To provide best possible run-out results, it is necessary to adjust the clamping device. Therefore
loose the mounting screws between chuck and machine spindle. Check the TIR with a dial
indicator in the taper of the pressure sleeve. After adjusting the chuck, do not forget to retighten the
mounting screws with the proper torque.

3.2 Change the collet
- Move lever in release position (rear)
- Remove the cap
- Remove the collet
- Clean the collet carrier, regrease slightly
- Insert collet
- Screw the cap onto the main body
up to the back-stop
- Check clamping; eventually turn the cap in
reverse direction
(cap is locked by a detent)


Important:
Please pay attention to a clean collet-carrier, free of dirt and chips, especially when the collet is
changed. Only use intact, clean and slightly greased collets. Before operation, make sure the cap
is locked by the detent!
