The role of mechanical chuck

The main functions of the mechanical chuck include the following aspects:

‌Controlling the movement of machinery‌: Mechanical chucks can be used to control the movement of machinery, such as valve springs in internal combustion engines and control springs in

clutches. The elastic action of the chuck can be used to adjust and control the movement state of the machinery‌

Absorbing vibration and impact energy: Mechanical chucks can absorb vibration and impact energy, reduce the vibration and impact generated during the operation of the machine, and protect

the mechanical parts from damage. For example, the buffer springs under the cars and train carriages and the vibration absorbing springs in the couplings absorb and disperse vibration and

impact energy through the elastic characteristics of the chuck.

‌Storing and outputting energy as power‌: Mechanical chucks can also store and output energy as a power source for the machine. For example, clock springs and springs in firearms drive the

movement of the machine through the elastic potential energy of the chuck‌

‌Used as a force measuring element‌: In some cases, mechanical chucks can also be used as force measuring elements, such as the spring in a dynamometer and a spring balance, to measure

the magnitude of the force by measuring the deformation of the chuck‌

Specific application examples:

Drill chuck: used to fix drilling and tapping tools or milling cutters, widely used on drilling, tapping, milling machines or machining center spindles for boring, milling, drilling, tapping,

engraving and other processing.

ER chuck: also known as ER collet, can be used with CNC tool holders, has large clamping force and wide clamping range, and is widely used in high-efficiency automated machine tools.

Pneumatic chuck: With compressed gas as the power source, it is widely used in CNC lathes, Swiss-type lathes and other high-efficiency automated machine tools. These application examples

show the specific role and importance of mechanical chucks in different mechanical and industrial applications.
