Centaur Rdf - 204 Series 100 Af Collet 27/32 to 55/64 in

Product Description

The CENTAUR RDF - 204 is a Series 100 AF collet designed to hold workpieces ranging from 27/32 to 55/64 inches in diameter. It features an overall diameter of 1.45 inches and an overall length of 2.5 inches, making it a compact, precision gripping tool suited for lathes, milling machines, and similar machine tool setups. Machinists and tool room technicians install this collet when holding round stock or tooling that falls within its specified capacity range. The Series 100 AF designation identifies the collet series, which must match the corresponding collet chuck or closer system to ensure proper seating and concentricity.

This collet is used in production and job shop environments where secure, repeatable workholding is required. It is appropriate for both manual and CNC machine tool applications that accept Series 100 AF collets. The 27/32 to 55/64 inch capacity range covers stock sizes commonly encountered in general machining work. Installation is handled by machinists or machine tool technicians as part of routine tooling setup.

Installation Notes

Collet installation is performed by a qualified machinist or machine tool technician. Always power down and lock out the machine before installing or removing a collet. Ensure the collet series matches the collet chuck or closer body before seating to avoid damage to the taper surfaces. Inspect collet and chuck taper surfaces for chips or debris and clean thoroughly before installation.
