Centaur 100562 Tapping Adapter 9/16 Inch Series CWE1

Product Description

The CENTAUR 100562 is a quick-change tapping adapter designed to hold and drive taps in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and tapping machines. It connects the machine spindle to the tap shank, transmitting torque while allowing controlled tap depth. The adapter fits a 9/16 inch tap size and accepts a tap shank diameter of 0.429 inches. With an outside shank diameter of 0.75 inches and a flange diameter of 1.18 inches, it is sized for precision toolholding applications in production and job-shop environments. This part belongs to the Series CWE1 product family and is sold as a single unit.

This tapping adapter is used in metalworking and machining operations where repeatable, accurate thread cutting is required. It suits both manual and automated tapping cycles on vertical machining centers and dedicated tapping equipment. The quick-change design reduces tool changeover time in high-mix or high-volume production runs. It is typically installed and set up by machinists, toolroom technicians, or CNC setup personnel working in light to heavy manufacturing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC toolroom technician. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before installing or removing tapping adapters. Verify tap shank diameter and adapter bore dimensions match before seating the tap to avoid damage to the toolholder or workpiece. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines for drawbar torque and toolholder retention when applicable.
