The axial motion of the hydraulic actuator’s piston is what causes the collet chuck’s jaws to open and close. The drawtube moves in unison with the piston, driving a wedge-shaped plunger within the chuck body as the piston slides back and forth. The plunger, in turn, converts axial motion to radial motion, accomplishing the opening and closing of the jaws. The gripping force of the jaws to a workpiece corresponds directly to the output of the actuator; thus, this force is easily regulated via a pressure valve.

Similarly, a CNC collet chuck is mounted to the front of a CNC lathe spindle, using the machine’s existing cylinder and drawtube to actuate:

Our preferred supplier partner for collet chucks is Royal Products. Royal provides a wide range of work holding options, including several lines of collet chucks.

Three-jaw chucks are the standard work holding device for most CNC lathe users. It is among the most widely used types of chuck in a variety of turning applications. However, that does not mean it is the best chuck for all jobs. A collet chuck is an alternate work holding device that also uses mechanical forces to hold a workpiece. While a collet chuck does not work with the same wide range of workpiece sizes that a jaw chuck can accommodate, it offers advantages in speed, accuracy, and productivity that may be crucial for certain jobs.

Of course, a collet chuck requires a collet to function. Typically, collets have something like a 0.062” gripping range. Collets are readily available for round, hex, and square stock. A collet chuck can handle a fairly wide range of collets (e.g. 3/16” all the way through to 2-5/8”). Special collet requirements can be accommodated. Most modern collet chucks have a quick (e.g. 10 seconds) change functionality for reduced set-up times.

The standard work holding system that comes with most CNC lathes and turning centers consists of a three-jaw power chuck, a hydraulic actuating cylinder, and a drawtube. The hydraulic cylinder is attached to the rear end of the spindle, while the chuck is mounted to the spindle’s front or working side. The cylinder and chuck are usually connected via a hollow, steel drawtube that passes through the spindle bore.
