Centaur Rdf - 069 Series 50 Af Collet 5/16 Inch

Product Description

The CENTAUR RDF - 069 is a Series 50 AF collet designed to grip tooling or workpieces with shank diameters ranging from 19/64 inches to 5/16 inches (0.3125 inches maximum). With an overall diameter of 0.72 inches and an overall length of 1.16 inches, this collet fits compact toolholding setups where precise, repeatable clamping is essential. It is used in machining and metalworking environments where accurate tool holding directly affects cut quality and part tolerance. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC operators are the primary users of this type of collet.

The RDF - 069 is suited for light to medium duty machining applications where Series 50 AF collet compatibility is required. Its capacity range makes it appropriate for holding small-diameter end mills, drill blanks, or round-shank tooling in milling machines, lathes, and similar machine tool setups. This collet is sold individually and is intended for use in machine tools configured to accept the Series 50 AF collet standard.

Compatibility

Designed for use in machine tool spindles and collet chucks that accept the Series 50 AF collet standard with a 0.72-inch body diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation of collets should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Always power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing a collet from the chuck body. Inspect the collet bore and mating taper surfaces for chips, burrs, or wear before installation, as debris in the taper will affect clamping accuracy and can damage both the collet and the chuck. Do not exceed the stated capacity range, as over-clamping outside the designed range can permanently deform the collet.
