Parlec ER16-0062 ER16 Collet 0.062 Inch

Product Description

The PARLEC ER16-0062 is an ER16-series collet designed to hold workpieces or tooling at a clamping diameter of 0.062 inches (1/16 inch). It features an overall length of 1.082 inches and an overall diameter of 0.669 inches. ER collets are precision workholding components used in collet chucks on CNC machining centers, milling machines, lathes, and drilling equipment. Machinists and tooling specialists install and replace these collets as part of routine setup and tooling maintenance in machine shop environments.

This collet is suited for light-duty clamping applications requiring a 1/16 inch bore, typical in precision machining operations where consistent tool runout and gripping force are critical. The ER16 series is a widely adopted standard size found in compact collet chuck systems used across production and job-shop machining environments. It is appropriate for holding small-diameter end mills, drill bits, reamers, and similar round-shank tooling.

Key Features

• ER16 collet series - a widely standardized workholding format for collet chucks
• 0.062 inch (1/16 inch) clamping diameter for small-shank tooling
• 1.082 inch overall length for compact chuck applications
• 0.669 inch overall diameter compatible with ER16 chuck geometry
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds, minimizing added mass in high-speed setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard collet for use in ER16-series collet chucks requiring a 0.062 inch bore diameter.

Installation Notes

ER collets are installed and removed by machinists or tooling technicians using the appropriate ER16 collet nut and spanner wrench. Always ensure the spindle or collet chuck is fully de-energized and the machine is locked out before changing collets. Inspect the collet bore and seating taper for debris or damage before installation. Do not exceed the rated clamping range for the collet series.
