Centaur Rdf - 064 Series 50 Af Collet 0.25 in

Product Description

The CENTAUR RDF - 064 is a Series 50 AF collet designed for use in precision toolholding applications where consistent grip and accurate concentricity are required. It accepts shank diameters from 15/64 inch (0.2344 inches) up to 1/4 inch (0.2500 inches), making it suited for light tooling and small-diameter workholding tasks. The collet measures 0.72 inches in overall diameter and 1.16 inches in overall length. It is typically installed by machinists and tool room technicians working with compatible Series 50 AF collet chucks or collet blocks on mills, lathes, and similar machine tool setups.

This collet is appropriate for use in both production shop and job shop environments where Series 50 AF toolholding systems are already in service. It fits into applications requiring a secure, repeatable hold on round-shank cutting tools or workpieces at or near the 1/4-inch diameter range. The compact overall length of 1.16 inches suits installations where spindle clearance or workholding envelope is a consideration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tool room personnel. The machine spindle or collet chuck must be fully powered down and at rest before inserting or removing the collet. Use the appropriate collet nut wrench for the Series 50 AF system to seat and torque the collet nut properly — do not use substitutes that could damage the collet or chuck threads. Inspect the collet bore and taper seat for chips or debris before installation to ensure proper seating and concentricity.
