I. Basic Structure
It consists primarily of three parts:
1. Chuck Body: The main housing mounted onto the machine tool spindle.
2. Movable Jaws: Three in total, distributed evenly at 120° intervals; these are classified into forward jaws (for clamping external diameters) and reverse jaws (for clamping large diameters or expanding against internal bores).
3. Drive Mechanism: Internally contains a small bevel gear and a large bevel gear (featuring flat-spiral threads on its reverse side).

II. Key Features
• ✅ Self-Centering: Rapid clamping; eliminates the need for repeated alignment adjustments.
• ✅ Versatile Application: Suitable for symmetrical workpieces such as round bars, discs, shafts, tubes, hexagonal stock, and more.
• ✅ Precision: General-purpose centering accuracy ranges from approximately 0.05 to 0.15 mm.
• ✅ Power Type:
◦ Manual: Wrench-operated; suitable for small-batch production and repair work.
◦ Hydraulic/Pneumatic: Automated operation with high clamping force; suitable for mass production.


III. Main Applications
• General-purpose Lathes: Turning of external diameters, internal bores, end faces, and threads.
• Grinders: Grinding of shaft-type and sleeve-type parts.
• Milling Machines / Drilling Machines: Machining of symmetrical parts in conjunction with an indexing head.
