Centaur Rdf - 200 Series 100 Af Collet 25/32-51/64 in

Product Description

The CENTAUR RDF - 200 is a Series 100 AF collet designed for precision workholding in machining operations. It accepts a collet capacity range of 25/32 inch minimum to 51/64 inch (0.7969 inch) maximum, making it suitable for gripping round stock and tooling within that bore range. The collet measures 1.45 inches in overall diameter and 2.5 inches in overall length. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this collet into compatible Series 100 AF collet chucks or closers on lathes, mills, and screw machines where consistent, repeatable grip is required.

This collet is used in machine shop environments where close-tolerance workholding is critical. It is appropriate for both production and jobshop settings running lathes, CNC turning centers, or manual screw machines equipped with Series 100 AF collet systems. The 25/32 to 51/64 inch capacity range covers near-inch stock and tooling commonly encountered in general machining and secondary operations.

Key Features

• Collet capacity range: 25/32 inch to 51/64 inch (0.7969 inch maximum)
• Series 100 AF collet standard for broad machine compatibility
• Overall diameter of 1.45 inches for proper chuck seating
• Overall length of 2.5 inches for standard collet closer depth
• Designed for repeatable, close-tolerance workholding in production environments

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or supplemental collet for machine tools equipped with Series 100 AF collet chucks or collet closers accepting a 1.45 inch diameter collet body.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the collet closer disengaged before inserting or removing the collet. Ensure the collet bore, chuck taper, and closer threads are clean and free of chips before seating. Do not force the collet into the chuck; proper hand-pressure seating followed by closer engagement is standard practice.
