Centaur Rdf - 182 Series 100 Af Collet 0.5156 in

Product Description

The CENTAUR RDF - 182 is a Series 100 AF collet designed to hold workpieces with a capacity range of 1/2 inch (0.5000 inches) minimum to 33/64 inch (0.5156 inches) maximum. The collet measures 1.45 inches in overall diameter and 2.5 inches in overall length. It is used in machine tool spindles and toolholding systems that accept the Series 100 AF collet standard. Machinists, tool and die makers, and CNC operators install this collet as part of a precision workholding setup. The tight capacity range makes it well suited for close-tolerance gripping of round stock or tooling shanks at the upper end of the 1/2-inch range.

This collet fits toolholding chucks, collet closers, and spindle noses built to the Series 100 AF specification. It is appropriate for both manual and CNC turning, milling, and grinding operations where consistent concentricity and secure clamping are required. Typical applications include production turning centers and bench lathes in job shop or manufacturing environments. A licensed machinist or toolroom technician handles installation and adjustment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before removing or seating any collet. Inspect the collet bore and chuck taper for chips or burrs before installation, as debris will affect runout and clamping force. Do not exceed the stated capacity range, as over-range loading can damage the collet and the chuck body.
