Centaur Rdf - 058 Series 50 Af Collet 5/32-11/64 Inch

Product Description

The CENTAUR RDF - 058 is a Series 50 AF collet designed for precision toolholding in machining and manufacturing applications. It accepts shank diameters from 5/32 inches to 11/64 inches (0.1719 inches maximum in decimal), providing a secure, repeatable grip on small-diameter cutting tools and workpieces. The collet measures 0.72 inches in overall diameter and 1.16 inches in overall length, making it a compact component suited for high-precision spindle work. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this collet as part of a Series 50 AF collet system where consistent tool runout and clamping force are critical to surface finish and dimensional accuracy.

This collet is intended for use in Series 50 AF compatible collet chucks and collet blocks found on milling machines, lathes, grinders, and precision machining centers. It is well suited for production environments and toolroom use where small-diameter tooling must be held securely and concentrically. The tight capacity range of 5/32 to 11/64 inches makes it appropriate for end mills, drills, reamers, and round-shank tooling within that diameter band.

Key Features

• Collet capacity range: 5/32 inches to 11/64 inches (0.1719 inches maximum)
• Overall diameter of 0.72 inches for compact fitment in Series 50 chucks
• Overall length of 1.16 inches
• Precision ground for consistent tool runout and repeatable clamping

Compatibility

Designed for use with Series 50 AF collet chucks and compatible holding systems that accept Series 50 AF collets.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians. Before inserting or removing a collet, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all power is locked out per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Insert the collet into the chuck body before threading or tightening the collet nut, and inspect the collet and chuck bore for chips or debris that could affect concentricity. Do not exceed the stated collet capacity range, as oversized shanks can split the collet or damage the chuck body.
