Techniks 05624 ER32 Rigid Tap Collet 16 Mm

Product Description

The TECHNIKS 05624 is an ER32 rigid tap collet designed for holding hand taps in CNC machining centers and tapping fixtures. Built to the ER32 collet series standard, it accepts a 16 mm collet size and features a 12 mm square drive to engage tap shanks securely during threading operations. This collet is intended for hand-tap style toolholding applications where axial float or tension-compression is not required. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with M20 and M22 taps will find this collet a direct-fit solution within compatible ER32 tap collet chucks.

This collet is suited for rigid tapping setups on manual or CNC machines where synchronized spindle-to-feed tapping is performed. It is sized for M20 and M22 hand taps and fits into any ER32 tap collet chuck body. Typical applications include production tapping in metalworking environments, job shop threading operations, and toolroom work. Through-coolant is not supported by this collet design, and it is not configured for tension-compression tap holding.

Key Features

• ER32 collet series - fits standard ER32 tap collet chuck bodies
• 16 mm collet size for M20 and M22 hand taps
• 12 mm square drive engages tap shank flats for positive torque transfer
• Rigid tap style - no axial float or tension-compression
• Hand tap configuration - suitable for synchronized rigid tapping
• No through-coolant bore

Compatibility

Compatible with M20 and M22 hand taps. Designed for use in ER32 tap collet chuck bodies. Fits rigid tapping setups requiring a 16 mm ER32 collet with a 12 mm square drive.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing collets or tap tooling. Seat the collet fully into the ER32 chuck body and torque the retention nut with a proper ER collet wrench - never use pliers or pipe wrenches on collet nuts. Verify tap alignment and chuck runout with a dial indicator before production tapping begins.
