BS 4185 is a British standard that discusses the specification for machine tool components. BS 4185-7 is the seventh part of the multi-part series that outlines a metric series of wide range collets to manufacture efficient quality collets.
Three distinct types, designated Type A, Type B, and Type C are detailed under BS 4185, the external dimensions that allow interchangeability of types with the various makes of capstan and turret lathes.
Wide range collets to BS 4185-7 may be used in either dead length or draw-in collet chucks of suitable design.
Wide range collets to BS 4185-7 may also be used on single spindle automatic lathes. However, it may be necessary to provide the collet chuck with two operating sleeves to obtain the full collet range.
BS 4185-7 on wide range collets for machines is useful for:
A wide range collet is a holding device comprising segments of blades held together flexibly and designed for rapid closing onto the workpiece or tool to grip and locate it. Each type of collet is available in a wide range of sizes.
BS 4185-7 provides you with collet series and sizes and dimensions that assist you in manufacturing highly durable and high-quality collets.
BS 4185-7 also guides you in enhancing the accuracy of collets and the second operation work of collets.
In compliance with BS 4185-7, you can enhance the efficacy and manufacture standardized collets that have global acceptance in the market.
