Parlec ERS16-0196 ER16 Collet 5 Mm

Product Description

The PARLEC ERS16-0196 is an ER16 series collet designed for precision tool holding in CNC machining centers, milling machines, and drilling applications. Built to the ER16 collet standard, this 5 mm collet grips cutting tools and workholding tooling with consistent clamping force across its bore. With an overall length of 1.082 inches and an overall diameter of 0.669 inches, it fits within the compact profile required by ER16 collet chucks. Machinists and CNC setup technicians install this collet when changing tools or setting up new operations that require a secure, repeatable grip on 5 mm shank tooling.

This collet is suited for use in light-duty to medium-duty machining environments including manual mills, CNC vertical machining centers, and toolroom equipment that accept ER16 collet chucks. It is a standard choice for shops running small-diameter end mills, drills, reamers, or taps with 5 mm shanks. The compact ER16 form factor makes it common in benchtop and production machines where spindle clearance is limited.

Key Features

• 5 mm bore accepts standard 5 mm shank cutting tools
• Overall length of 1.082 inches for compact tool projection
• Overall diameter of 0.669 inches fits standard ER16 chuck pockets
• 1800 clamping pressure rating for secure tool grip

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling collet compatible with ER16 collet chucks and tool holders built to the ER16 collet standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Before changing collets, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an e-stop or tool-change state. Insert the collet into the ER16 chuck body before threading on the retention nut, and use a calibrated torque wrench with an ER collet nut spanner to achieve proper clamping without over-tightening. Inspect the collet bore and chuck taper for chips or damage before each use to maintain runout accuracy.
