Wide Open RFQ For The Group
Hello folks,
Wide open RFQ for you... I have a medical industry customer with a special need. They currently have an ER8 style spindle and need to hold a steel device without marking it in any way. Because of this, they are looking for brazz or bronze or similar collets. Anyone want to make them for me? Quantities of at least 15 at a time... -- Until you wake up, I will fight for you...

I envision something like a top hat possibly made of urethane (which might not need to be split) Delrin should also be good but most likely would require splitting. http://tinyurl.com/nt38bee May even be a "stock" item somewhere. -- Unka' George "Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants, but debt is the money of slaves" -Norm Franz, "Money and Wealth in the New Millenium" |

Anyone want to make them for me? Quantities of at least 15 at a time... What is the size of the steel stock? ER8 maxes out around 5mm. If the stock is significantly smaller than that a simple brass sleeve may do the trick depending on necessary holding force. I have made brass bushings for end mills and noted that an ER 16 collet compresses them around a piece more than you might think. An ER8 spindle nut and collet may not be capable of as much force, but the principal may be similar. If that is not adequate holding force then a simple sleeve with some slits cut in it may be adequate. A sleeve can be turned and reamed easily on any fair lathe, and slits can be cut a number of different ways. The only really important cut is that the inside and outside are concentric. If on the other hand your stock is close to 5mm then a special brass collet may be required as you have requested in your original post. |

Why not wrap the part with a piece of Mylar film before inserting in the collet? That ought to work, hold securely but not mark the part. Probably will work even better than brass. Jon |

This is exactly what the ER collets were developed for. Has the customer tried using a new good quality [no burr / clear] ER collet in the correct size? Unless grossly overtightened it should not mark a steel device unless it is dead soft. http://tinyurl.com/pv75seo Have you tried having a standard collet electropolished/electrodeburred? http://tinyurl.com/lhc3fp9 http://tinyurl.com/pt2xxkq Be sure to bake to remove hydrogen -- Unka' George "Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants, but debt is the money of slaves" -Norm Franz, "Money and Wealth in the New Millenium" |

Anyone want to make them for me? Quantities of at least 15 at a time... Greetings Joe, I'm surprised that standard ER collets are marking thier parts. But let us say that the parts are being marked. I will bid this job but I need to know a little more. Especially about finish, accuracy, and liability. Finish is probably the most important if the collets need to be sterilized. Anyway, I would be interested in quoting this job if a few more particulars could be had. Thanks, Eric Snow, E T Precision Machine |

I'm sorry I missed this thread, Joe, but I assume you're aware that brass lathe collets are available off-the-shelf. These are sometimes called "emergency collets," which applies to any soft collet that has to be machined to fit a certain part. I'd be surprised if such collets aren't available for whatever you're looking for. As I said, I missed the beginning. -- Ed Huntress |

Joe, there is one parameter you have not supplied, and perhaps the customer never supplied. That is: how much torque will be applied between the spindle and the steel device? The friction between a brass collet and a totally smooth steel device may allow the device to slip in the collet. Just wondering! Paul |

I see that you want ER8. Maybe, maybe... How about a brass collet bushing that fits in a larger-bore collet? Like this, maybe: http://tinyurl.com/n7uegcx Or call Hardinge.
