Wedge hook power chucks with 2-, 3- or 4-jaws and optional centrifugal force compensation

Power Chucks from the FORKARDT KT- and KS-Series are applicable universally and represent the most developed and flexible chucks of the FORKARDT product range. A patented wedge hook mechanism leads to enormous clamping forces and enables you to even utilize the chuck in the most demanding of cutting applications - of course with consistently high repeatability. Designs are available in 2-, 3- and 4-jaw styles.

Furthermore, FORKARDT KT and KS chucks are designed in “modules“ to ensure even greater versatility within your production environment. Chuck designs can easily be tailored to match your specific requirements. Also this ‘modular construction principle’ gives you the further advantage that all the dimensions of chucks and jaws are interchangeable. Moreover in combination with the optional quick-jaw-change system you have the opportunity to reduce non-productive changevor times to an absolute minimum if jaws have to be changed often due to smaller production batch sizes.

As you would expect, FORKARDT KT and KS chucks are made of highest quality materials, developed and manufactured by FORKARDT in accordance with the requirements of ISO 9001.
