Rego-fix 1512.03581 Floating Tap Collet ER11 0.141 in

Product Description

The REGO-FIX 1512.03581 is a floating tap collet in the ER11 series, designed to hold taps securely during tapping operations in CNC machining centers and tap holders. At 0.141 inches collet size, this collet accommodates hand taps from size 0 through 1/8 inch. The floating tap design allows axial compensation during the tapping cycle, reducing tap breakage and thread quality issues. It carries a Total Indicator Runout (TIR) of 0.0004 inches, supporting accurate thread formation in precision machining work. Machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers of this collet.

This collet is suited for use in light-duty to medium-duty tapping applications in machine shops, tool rooms, and production environments. It is intended for hand tap styles only and does not support through-coolant or tension tap configurations. The ER11 series is commonly found on smaller toolholders and compact tapping heads where space is limited and precision is required. The 0.141-inch capacity makes it appropriate for fine-thread and small-fastener work typical in aerospace, electronics, and precision mechanical assemblies.

Key Features

• Floating tap collet design provides axial compensation to reduce tap breakage
• ER11 collet series for compatibility with standard ER11 toolholders
• Collet size of 0.141 inches accommodates hand taps from size 0 up to 1/8 inch
• TIR of 0.0004 inches supports precise thread quality
• Hand tap configuration only - no through-coolant or tension tap capability
• Lightweight at 0.025 pounds for minimal toolholder load

Compatibility

Designed for use with ER11-series tap holders and toolholding systems that accept floating tap collets. Suitable for hand tap styles in the size 0 to 1/8 inch range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC setup technicians. Ensure the toolholder and spindle are fully stopped and de-energized before inserting or removing the collet. Clean the collet bore and ER11 nut seating surfaces before assembly to maintain runout specification. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque guidelines when tightening the ER11 collet nut - do not over-tighten by hand estimation alone.
