Kennametal 2262967 Keyless Drill Chuck CAT40 Integral Shank

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2262967 is a keyless drill chuck designed for CNC machining centers and milling machines equipped with CAT40 tooling systems. It mounts via an integral taper shank with a CAT40 interface, eliminating the need for a separate arbor. The chuck accepts drill shanks from 0.039 inches to 0.512 inches in diameter, covering a broad range of twist drills, center drills, and similar rotary cutting tools. Constructed from steel, it features a sleeve diameter of 1.969 inches. The keyless design allows for quick tool changes without a chuck key. Licensed machinists and CNC setup technicians are the primary installers of this tooling component.

This drill chuck is suited for production and job-shop environments where CAT40 spindle tooling is standard. It is used in vertical and horizontal machining centers running drilling, reaming, and light boring operations. The keyless collar allows fast changeovers between drill sizes, making it practical for high-mix operations. The closed length of 4.210 inches and open length of 3.726 inches determine gage-line projection and must be accounted for when setting tool offsets in the machine control.

Key Features

• Keyless design enables fast tool changes without a chuck key
• CAT40 integral shank mounts directly to CAT40 spindle tooling without an intermediate arbor
• Capacity range of 0.039 to 0.512 inches covers standard fractional, wire-gauge, and metric drill sizes
• Steel construction for durability under production drilling conditions
• Sleeve diameter of 1.969 inches provides solid clamping grip across the capacity range
• Closed length of 4.210 inches and open length of 3.726 inches allow accurate tool-offset planning

Compatibility

Designed for use in machining centers equipped with CAT40 spindle interfaces. Confirm spindle taper specification and gage-line clearance requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machining center spindle before installing or removing tooling per applicable machine safety procedures. Ensure the CAT40 taper and retention knob are clean and free of chips or burrs before seating the chuck. Verify tool length offset in the machine control after installation to prevent interference or incorrect depth of cut.
