Frequently asked questions
Common questions about TECHNIKS from 3G Electric.
What types of collets does TECHNIKS manufacture?
TECHNIKS manufactures standard ER collets, sealed coolant collets, and plug-style coolant collets in series such as ER20, ER32, and ER40. They also produce TG collets, including the TG150 series. Standard collets are used for general tool holding, while sealed and plug-style coolant collets are designed for applications requiring coolant delivery through the tool holder to improve chip evacuation and cooling at the cutting edge.
What is the difference between a plug-style coolant collet and a sealed coolant collet from TECHNIKS?
A plug-style coolant collet from TECHNIKS has a solid internal design that directs coolant through the collet body to the tool shank, typically used in systems where coolant is delivered through the spindle. A sealed coolant collet incorporates O-rings or other sealing elements to prevent coolant leakage at the collet-tool interface, making it suitable for high-pressure coolant applications. Both types are available in ER series sizes.
What taper configurations are available for TECHNIKS end mill holders?
TECHNIKS end mill holders are available in BT taper configurations, such as BT40, as well as CAT and HSK tapers. The BT40 end mill holder, for example, has a 20 mm capacity and a 63 mm projection, with coolant-through-spindle capability. These holders are designed to fit standard machine tool spindles and provide rigid clamping for end mills in milling operations.
What clamping diameter ranges do TECHNIKS ER collets cover?
TECHNIKS ER collets cover a wide range of clamping diameters. For example, ER20 collets are available in sizes from 4 mm to 10 mm, ER32 collets include sizes like 10.5 mm, and ER40 collets include sizes such as 15 mm and 20.5 mm. Imperial sizes are also offered, such as 7/16 in for ER20 collets. The exact range depends on the collet series and type.
Are TECHNIKS collets compatible with other manufacturers' collet chucks?
Yes, TECHNIKS collets are designed to conform to industry-standard dimensions for ER and TG collet systems. This means they are generally compatible with collet chucks and tool holders from other manufacturers that adhere to the same standards, such as ER20 or TG150. However, it is recommended to verify compatibility based on the specific collet series and chuck design.
