CB-NX Collet Chuck- Dead Length Design

The CB-NX series collet chuck is a low profile dead length design with a reduced diameter nose for maximum tool clearance. In this design the collet is coupled to the chuck body and remains stationary as the tapered seat moves forward when the chuck is actuated. This design keeps the collet in a fixed Z axis position during clamping and does not create a pull back effect on the bar stock or workpiece.
