Lyndex-nikken SK16-5/8A Slim Chuck Collet 5/8 Inch SK10

Product Description

The LYNDEX-NIKKEN SK16-5/8A is a slim chuck single angle collet designed for SK10 toolholding systems used in precision CNC machining operations. It accepts a 5/8 inch shank diameter and delivers a total indicator reading (TIR) of 0.0002 inches, making it suitable for applications where runout control is critical. The collet measures 1.77 inches in overall length with a maximum body diameter of 0.94 inches. This compact profile is what defines the slim chuck design, allowing access to tighter workpiece geometries without sacrificing grip integrity. Installation and removal are handled by machinists and toolroom technicians as part of routine toolholder setup.

The SK16-5/8A fits SK10 slim chuck toolholders and is intended for use in vertical and horizontal machining centers where low-profile toolholding is required. The slim chuck configuration reduces interference when machining deep pockets, complex contours, or parts with tall fixturing that limits tool clearance. This collet is appropriate for both roughing and finishing passes where consistent runout performance is needed across production runs.

Key Features

• 0.0002 inch TIR for tight runout tolerance in precision machining
• 5/8 inch bore diameter accommodates standard shank tooling
• 0.94 inch maximum body diameter enables access in confined workspaces
• 1.77 inch overall length suits compact SK10 toolholder assemblies
• Slim chuck single angle design for improved clearance in deep-pocket operations

Compatibility

Designed for use with SK10 slim chuck toolholding systems. Consult your toolholder documentation to confirm collet series compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician familiar with SK-series toolholding systems. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before handling collets or toolholders. Inspect the collet bore and toolholder taper for debris or damage prior to assembly. Do not exceed the rated clamping torque specified by the toolholder manufacturer for the SK10 system.
