Centaur Rdf - 023 Series 38 Af Collet 3/32 to 7/64 in

Product Description

The CENTAUR RDF - 023 is a Series 38 AF collet designed to hold tool shanks ranging from 3/32 inch to 7/64 inch (0.1094 inches maximum capacity). With an overall diameter of 0.56 inches and an overall length of 1.03 inches, this collet is a compact, precision workholding component. It is used in collet chucks and toolholding systems where consistent gripping force and accurate tool concentricity are required. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this collet when setting up milling, drilling, or routing operations that call for Series 38 AF toolholding.

The RDF - 023 is suited for light machining and precision toolholding applications where small-diameter tool shanks must be held securely. Its Series 38 AF designation identifies it as part of a standardized collet family, making it a direct-fit component in compatible Series 38 AF collet chucks. Typical install environments include manual and CNC machine tools in production shops, toolrooms, and job shops where small-shank tooling is routinely used.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with collet chuck systems. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and any stored energy is released before removing or installing a collet. Clean the collet and chuck bore of chips and debris before seating to maintain concentricity. Do not use a hammer or impact tools to seat or remove the collet; use the appropriate collet nut wrench for the Series 38 AF system.
