Schunk’s unique modular centre sleeve system enables you best flexibility without taking the chuck off the machine spindle!

ROTA NCO – For individual one-off applications. The 3-jaw high-strength chuck without chuck bore combines maximum jaw travel with the ultimate in clamping force. Already a big hit on vertical lathes.

ROTA 2B – The two-jaw rock-solid chuck for high-power machining. Special features are maximum clamping force combined with large jaw travel and extremely rigid chuck base. Particularly popular in the manufacture of fittings and cast components.

ROTA-S plus – The leading manual chuck with innovative quick-jaw-change system. The large through hole as well as best T.I.R. and repeatability, make it for the turning and also for the stationary application as a flexible all-rounder.

Schunk is the market leader in chuck jaws for many years and offers the world’s largest standard line of jaws.

Ground groove and serration

SCHUNK is the first manufacturer worldwide to grind the groove and the fine serration of its soft standard chuck jaws instead of milling them. This results in improved repeat accuracy when changing jaws and ensures lasting precision in the base jaw serration. In this way, your top jaws, base jaws, and lathe chucks are preserved – allowing you to save money. Ground serrations also improve clamping stability and the quality of the workpiece surfaces, for optimum machining results

Quentes fiberglass jaws

Made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic, these jaws enable clamping on already ground or surface-treated surfaces, since they leave no clamping marks whatsoever on the clamping surface. In combination with the large looping angle of the turned Quentes on the workpiece, this ensures low-deformation clamping of the component.

The high coefficient of friction of 0.3 – 0.4 makes it possible to transfer high torques with low clamping forces. The supporting jaws of the Quentes fiberglass jaws are made of aluminum. This provides a clamping solution that – due to its low weight – also enables high machining speeds. When they wear out, Quentes clamping inserts can be replaced easily, quickly and at low cost. The Quentes fiberglass jaws are available and in stock in two different standard models for power chucks and quick-change chucks.

Serrated bars
Serrated bars allow customers to manufacture their own soft top jaws – easily, quickly and at low cost. The bars are available in steel or aluminum, with 90° and 60° fine serration and in a standard length of 420 mm. These bars also have a ground groove and serration for a longer service life of the base jaw and for high repeat accuracy when changing jaws.
