The 5C Collet Chuck is engineered for precision, featuring a 5-inch outside diameter and a plain back with a recessed area of 3.740" x 0.184" deep. It incorporates a 3-pinion gear operated design, which enhances ease of opening and closing while providing superior accuracy and stability compared to chucks with fewer pinion gears. This chuck is compatible with 5C collets ranging from 1/16 inch through 1-1/8 inches.

Instrukcje konfiguracji
- Back Plate Preparation: The included back plate is semi-finished and threaded (2-1/4" x 8). The mounting holes are pre-drilled and tapped. For optimal accuracy, it is recommended to perform the final surfacing and registration boss turning on your own lathe. This process ensures the highest possible Total Indicator Runout (TIR) accuracy for your specific machine.
- Surfacing the Back Plate: Mount the semi-finished back plate onto your lathe spindle. Lightly surface the front face of the back plate.
- Turning the Registration Boss: Carefully turn the registration boss on the back plate to match the actual recess of the 5C Collet Chuck. This precise fit is critical for minimizing runout.
- Mounting the Chuck: Align the 5C Collet Chuck with the prepared back plate. The chuck has 3 mounting holes with a diameter of 0.35" and a bolt pattern of 4.25". The back plate has 3 M8 mounting screw holes, which are already drilled and tapped.
- Zabezpieczanie zespołu: Use the provided bolts to securely fasten the 5C Collet Chuck to the back plate. Tighten all bolts evenly to ensure a stable and accurate assembly.

Instrukcja obsługi
- Collet Insertion: Ensure the chuck is open. Insert the desired 5C collet into the chuck. The chuck can accommodate any 5C collet size from 1/16 inch to 1-1/8 inches.
- Workpiece Insertion: Place the workpiece into the collet.
- Tightening the Collet: Use the provided operating keys to close and tighten the 3-pinion gear mechanism. Turn the keys clockwise to secure the collet and workpiece firmly. Do not overtighten.
- Działanie: The chuck is designed for a maximum RPM of 6000. Always operate within safe speed limits for your lathe and workpiece.
- Dokładność: The chuck is manufactured to an accuracy of 0.0006 TIR. However, actual runout can be influenced by the accuracy of the 5C collet used and the runout of the lathe spindle itself.

Konserwacja
- Czyszczenie: After each use, clean the chuck and collets to remove chips, dust, and debris. Use a brush and compressed air if available.
- Smarowanie: Periodically apply a light machine oil to the moving parts of the chuck, especially the pinion gears and threads, to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion.
- Składowanie: Store the collet chuck in a clean, dry environment to protect it from rust and damage.
- Kontrola: Regularly inspect the chuck for any signs of wear, damage, or excessive runout. Address any issues promptly to maintain performance and safety.
Rozwiązywanie problemów
- High Runout: If you experience higher than expected runout, first verify the accuracy of the 5C collet being used. Next, check the runout of your lathe spindle. Ensure the back plate was properly surfaced and the registration boss accurately turned during setup. Re-check the tightness of the mounting bolts.
- Trudność otwierania/zamykania: Ensure the chuck is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pinion gears and internal mechanisms. If the issue persists, inspect for any physical damage or obstruction.
- Back Plate Alignment Issues: If the back plate does not align correctly or causes excessive runout, re-evaluate the surfacing and turning process performed on your lathe. Precision in this step is crucial for the overall accuracy of the chuck assembly.
