Fully Sealed AcuGrind Air Chuck Designed for Extreme Tolerances During Turning and Grinding
Fully sealed AcuGrind Air Chuck features self-contained actuation and <0.002-mm repeatability.
SMW-Autoblok’s AcuGrind air chuck is designed to handle the most precise finishing.
SMW-Autoblok’s AcuGrind air chuck features a built-in actuating cylinder for extreme tolerances during turning and grinding applications. No hydraulic cylinder is required. Designed to handle the most precise finishing, AcuGrind is said to provide accuracy to 0.000078" and is well suited for miniaturized components found in medical industries as well as applications that require extreme tolerances.
Other applications include machining abrasive materials such as powder metal or carbide. The AcuGrind can perform both ID and OD clamping using a boring ring and pin. Its case-hardened base jaws enable extra rigidity and repeatability within 0.002 mm.
Available in 80 to 250 mm, AcuGrind comes fully sealed as part of SMW’s Proofline Series chucks for greatly reduced overall maintenance. Also, the permanent lubrication offered by these oil-filled precision chucks is said to help maintain consistent grip force shift after shift. Other advantages include a case-hardened body and internal parts for high resistance and extended life.
