MAPAL achieves a revolution in clamping
technology with the HighTorque Chuck HTC
with narrow contour. Thanks to additive
manufacturing, it has become possible to
utilise the benefits of a hydraulic chuck in
an even wider field of applications for the
first time. On the one hand, the new chuck
exhibits the narrow contour with the 3° back
taper known from the shrink chuck and the
familiar high holding forces, but does without
costly shrink units. On the other hand it offers
the benefits of the MAPAL HTC technology,
whereby the "T" stands not only for high
torque transmission, but also for thermal
stability. The wide operating temperature
range up to 170°C ensures additional process
reliability. It is suitable for all machining
operations, particularly in contour-critical
areas from a clamping diameter of 3 mm.
