Parlec ER16-0236 ER16 Collet 0.2362 in 6.00mm

Product Description

The PARLEC ER16-0236 is an ER16 series collet designed to hold cutting tools and workpieces with a nominal clamping diameter of 0.2362 inches (6.00 mm). With an overall length of 1.082 inches and a minimum collet capacity of 0.1969 inches (5.0 mm), this collet provides secure, concentric tool holding for CNC machining centers, milling machines, and drilling applications. It is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians who require accurate, repeatable tool runout in high-cycle production environments. The ER16 taper is one of the most widely used collet standards in precision machining.

This collet is suited for light-to-medium duty cutting operations where a compact ER16 collet chuck is used. Typical applications include small-diameter end mill holding, drill chuck replacement, tapping, and reaming on CNC mills, machining centers, and manual knee mills. The 6.00 mm clamping diameter makes it well matched for metric tooling as well as fractional and decimal-inch tooling within its clamping range.

Key Features

• ER16 collet series - compatible with standard ER16 collet chucks and tool holders
• Nominal clamping diameter of 0.2362 inches (6.00 mm)
• Minimum collet capacity of 0.1969 inches (5.0 mm) for a defined clamping range
• Overall length of 1.082 inches for compact tool projection
• Weighs 1 pound - solid, precision-ground construction

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ER16 series collet for use with any ER16-compatible collet chuck or tool holder accepting the ER16 taper profile.

Installation Notes

ER16 collets are installed by machinists and toolroom technicians using the appropriate ER16 collet nut and chuck body. Before installation, ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down or placed in an e-stop state. Clean the collet taper, chuck bore, and collet nut threads before seating the collet to maintain runout accuracy. Do not exceed the stated clamping range - using a collet at its extreme capacity limits can reduce gripping force and increase runout.
