Centaur Rdf - 206 Series 100 Af Collet 7/8 to 57/64 Inch

Product Description

The CENTAUR RDF - 206 is a Series 100 AF collet designed to hold workpieces ranging from 7/8 inch to 57/64 inch (0.8906 inch maximum capacity). Collets in this series are precision workholding devices used in lathes, milling machines, and CNC machining centers to grip round stock, bar stock, or tooling shanks with consistent concentricity. The RDF - 206 features a 1.45 inch overall diameter and a 2.5 inch overall length, making it compatible with standard Series 100 AF spindle noses and collet chucks. Machinists and toolroom technicians select this collet when they need repeatable, accurate clamping at this specific capacity range.

This collet is suited for production machining and toolroom environments where close-tolerance workholding is required. It fits machine tools equipped with Series 100 AF collet systems and is appropriate for holding near-finish-size round stock at the 7/8 inch to 57/64 inch range. Typical applications include turning operations, light milling, and secondary operations on CNC or manual lathes. The collet is sold individually and is compatible with other Series 100 AF accessories and closers.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Series 100 AF collet chucks and closers. Specific machine compatibility depends on the spindle nose configuration of the host machine tool. Verify Series 100 AF fitment with the machine tool manufacturer before installation.

Installation Notes

Collet installation and removal should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the machine at a full stop and all energy sources locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Inspect the collet bore and the collet chuck body for chips, burrs, or damage before seating the collet. Do not exceed the stated maximum collet capacity, as overloading a collet can cause workpiece slippage or collet failure. Follow the machine tool manufacturer torque recommendations for the collet closer nut.
