Centaur Rdf - 081 Series 50 Af Collet 15/32-31/64 in

Product Description

The CENTAUR RDF - 081 is a Series 50 AF collet designed to hold workpieces or tooling within a capacity range of 15/32 to 31/64 inches (0.4844 inches maximum). It measures 0.72 inches in overall diameter and 1.16 inches in overall length. This collet is used in machine tool spindles and collet chucks that accept the Series 50 AF style. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC operators install this type of collet when setting up turning, milling, or grinding operations that require precise, repeatable workholding within its rated capacity range.

This collet is suited for light to medium machining applications where consistent gripping force and accurate tool or workpiece centering are required. The Series 50 AF form factor fits corresponding collet chucks and closers designed for that series. It is appropriate for both manual and CNC machine tool setups in production shops, job shops, and toolroom environments where close-tolerance workholding is critical.

Installation Notes

A qualified machinist or toolroom technician should install collets in accordance with the machine tool manufacturer's procedures. Power down and lockout the machine before changing collets. Inspect the collet bore and the chuck taper for debris or damage before seating the collet. Do not exceed the rated capacity range, as doing so can damage the collet and reduce clamping accuracy.
