Centaur Rdf - 080 Series 50 Af Collet 29/64-15/32 in

Product Description

The CENTAUR RDF - 080 is a Series 50 AF collet designed for precision workholding in machining applications. It accepts round stock from 29/64 inches up to 15/32 inches (0.4688 inches maximum capacity), providing a secure, centered grip during turning, milling, or grinding operations. The collet measures 0.72 inches in overall diameter and 1.16 inches in overall length, making it a compact, directly replaceable tooling component. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and production operators install this type of collet in compatible Series 50 AF spindles and collet chucks to achieve repeatable workpiece positioning and minimal runout.

This collet is suited for use in machine shops, toolrooms, and production environments where Series 50 AF collet systems are in service. It is appropriate for light to moderate material removal on bar stock, rod, or round workpieces falling within its stated capacity range. The compact overall length makes it well suited for installations where spindle space is at a premium. No specific compatible machine models are stated by the manufacturer for this part number beyond the Series 50 AF collet series designation.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit collet for machine tools equipped with Series 50 AF collet systems accepting the 29/64 to 15/32 inch capacity range.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Before inserting or removing the collet, ensure the spindle is fully stopped, the machine is powered down, and all energy is locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Use a clean, burr-free collet bore and collet nut to avoid runout or damage to the seating surfaces. Do not force the collet into the spindle; proper seating should require only hand pressure followed by normal collet nut torquing with the appropriate spanner wrench.
