Techniks 23410-ER16 Tapping Chuck ER16 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The TECHNIKS 23410-ER16 is a rigid-style tapping chuck with a modular connection shank, designed for use in CNC machining centers and tapping operations where positive thread engagement is required. It accepts ER16 collets and handles tap capacities from number 6 up to 3/8 inch, making it a practical choice for light-to-medium tapping work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The chuck projects 2.16 inches from the connection face and has a 0.79-inch shank diameter. Installation does not require a floating or tension-compression mechanism, as the rigid design relies on synchronized machine feed.

This tapping chuck is suited for production machining environments where the CNC control manages feed rate synchronization precisely. It is commonly used in vertical and horizontal machining centers equipped with modular quick-change tooling systems. The ER16 taper accepts a standard range of ER16 collets, supporting metric taps from M4 through M8 and inch taps from number 6 through 3/8 inch. Machinists and tooling technicians working in job shops, production facilities, and tool rooms will find this chuck compatible with modular connection tooling setups that demand repeatable projection and runout consistency.

Key Features

• Rigid tapping style for use with synchronized-feed CNC machines
• ER16 taper accepts collets for taps from number 6 to 3/8 inch (M4 to M8 metric)
• Modular connection shank with quick-change capability for fast tool changeover
• 2.16-inch projection provides clearance for typical workpiece geometries
• 0.79-inch shank diameter for stable, concentric seating in modular tooling blocks

Compatibility

Designed for use with modular connection tooling systems that accept a 0.79-inch shank diameter. Compatible with standard ER16 collets. Supports inch taps from number 6 to 3/8 inch and metric taps from M4 to M8.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tooling technicians or machinists. Ensure the machine spindle and modular tooling block are clean and free of chips before seating the chuck. Torque the modular connection to the tooling system manufacturer's specification using the appropriate spanner wrench. When using rigid tapping, confirm the CNC control is programmed for synchronized tapping before running the cycle.
