S12 Collet Pad, Metric, Rectangle Smooth, 3 Segments (3.175mm to 31.5722mm)

Hardinge® Style "S" Master Collet Pads

Maximum bearing surface between the spindle and head angle.

Because there are no holes or slots in the head angle of the collet, uneven wear of the spindle will not result from continuous use. There are no threaded holes in the collet to be stripped or damaged.

Ease of Use 

Since the pads are interchangeable without removing the master collet from the spindle, collets do not have to be removed from the machine when changing the bar stock size. Independent clamps slide freely in and out of the master collet so they can be removed with ease.

Secure Pad Installation

The unique dovetail anchor system securely holds pads in place while feeding bar stock. This design places the bar thrust on the shoulder of the pad. There is no pressure on the clamp assembly because it is ideally positioned between the pad shoulder and the recess of the collet. The pads cannot dislodge under normal use.
