5-C Collet Vise
Single And Triple Collet Compact design, the smallest known footprint in hydraulic collet vises. Concentric piston design “pulls” the collet without the potential side loading of two cylinder styles. Ideal for secondary operations on “screw machine parts”. BHC™ (Black Hard Coated) surfaces provide long life. Special “lobed” design reduces the tendency of three jaw collets to stick. Through hole design allows you to feed material up to 1.062” diameter through the bottom of the unit by simply removing the plug.

Looking for a way to quickly fixture a number of round parts? Vektek’s collet vises are an excellent solution. Designed to be flexible and conserve space, they can be ganged to fixture 3, 6, 9, 12 or more parts in a small space. Screw machine parts can be easily secured for speedy secondary operations. It is made to accept all collets designed to fit 5-C closers, even specials. The single, end located port makes plumbing a breeze. Part location should be established using the vise body or base mounted fixed locator. Avoid using the 5-C collet as the sole length/runout locator. 5C COLLETS ARE ROUND IN THEIR "FREE" OR "OPEN" POSITION AND BECOME LOBE SHAPED AS THEY ARE CLOSED. TO REDUCE POINT LOADING AND THE TENDENCY FOR COLLET STICKING, VEKTEK COLLET VISES HAVE RELIEF AREAS PROVIDED FOR THE COLLET SLOTS. THESE SLOTS HELP DISTRIBUTE CLOSING FORCES MORE UNIFORMLY.

5-C Collets are round in their “Free” or “Open” position and become lobe shaped as they are closed. To reduce point loading and the tendency for collet sticking, Vektek Collet Vises have relief areas provided for the collet slots. These slots help distribute closing forces more uniformly.
