Leader Chuck introduces Autogrip AP range of air-supplied large chucks

Available in 52, 66, 86 and 115 mm through-hole diameters, Autogrip's AP range features an integrated pneumatic cylinder which powers the opening and closing of the chuck jaws. This design eliminates the need for a draw bar to provide the jaw clamping force, resulting in a larger through bore capacity for bar feeding raw material. The AP chucks have been extensively tested and proven to maintain internal air pressure for more than two weeks, says Leader Chuck. However, a pressure detection device is built into the chuck to guarantee safe operation up to maximum speeds that extend from 4,200 rpm for the AP-52 to 3,000 rpm for the AP-115. Taiwan-based, ISO 9001-accredited Autogrip Machinery has been producing precision chucks for over two decades. It produces a wide range of standard and special high rigidity, high precision power chucks and rotary cylinders.
