Proprietary jaw inserts accommodate shaft deflection.
Binding is not an issue.

Jaw inserts can be a fixed piece of the chuck or a removable part.

Removable Jaw Inserts – Easy, inexpensive replacement.

air operated safety chucks

All models can be manufactured to be

pneumatically operated. Air operation
is ideal when accessibility is difficult
and/or unsafe for the operator.

A large piston works as a double–acting

air cylinder to open and close the chucks.

Proximity sensors can be integrated with the

Air–operated
machine’s controls to ensure that the chucks are closed

sensors.
AC option
A pin through the safety chuck works
with a proximity sensor to detect
when the chuck’s face
plate is open.
Especially useful in turret
applications where the operator
needs to know if the chucks are
closed for safe operation. In this
case, the sensor is tied to a “kill
switch” which prevents the turret
from turning when the chuck is open.
