Centaur Rdf - 202 Series 100 Af Collet 13/16 to 53/64 in

Product Description

The CENTAUR RDF - 202 is a Series 100 AF collet designed to hold workpieces ranging from 13/16 inches to 53/64 inches (0.8281 inches maximum capacity) in diameter. It features an overall diameter of 1.45 inches and an overall length of 2.5 inches. This collet is used in precision machining operations to grip round stock or tooling securely within compatible collet chucks and spindles. Machinists, tool and die makers, and CNC setup technicians are the primary installers. The tight capacity range makes it well suited for applications requiring consistent, repeatable workholding at close tolerances.

The RDF - 202 fits machining environments where the Series 100 AF collet standard is specified. It is appropriate for both production and job-shop settings handling bar stock, drill blanks, end mills, or other round tooling within the stated capacity range. The 13/16 to 53/64 inch capacity window covers a narrow but commonly encountered shank diameter range in light to medium machining operations on manual and CNC lathes, mills, and grinding machines that accept Series 100 AF collets.

Key Features

• Collet capacity range: 13/16 inches minimum to 53/64 inches (0.8281 inches) maximum

• Single-piece packaging suitable for individual replacement or tooling inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling addition for machine spindles and collet chucks that accept Series 100 AF collets with a 1.45 inch outer diameter profile.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Always de-energize and lock out the machine before inserting or removing collets from the spindle. Ensure the collet bore, spindle taper, and chuck threads are clean and free of chips or burrs before seating the collet. Do not exceed the stated maximum collet capacity, as overloading can damage the collet or result in workpiece slippage.
