RDA/DA | RD/ER | RDF/AF | RDG/TG | RDO

The high precision RD collet system with guaranteed accuracy. For quality you can count on, all Centaur RD system components are manufactured with strict adherence to DIN6499.

RD collets are interchangeable with ER, ESX, DR, BR and VSAC collets.

Centaur supplies the collets you require, when you require them. If ordering an Inch size collet, you will get a true inch size collet from Centaur - not the metric equivalent. For example, some companies supply a 7-6mm collet when asked for a 1/4 collet. All collets are most accurate at the nominal diameter. A 7mm collet has a nominal diameter of .2755 and must collapse .025 before actually clamping the tool. A Centaur 1/4 collet has the actual .250 nominal diameter and will clamp more accurately with higher gripping strength.

METHOD OF INSERTION & RELEASE FOR RD/ER COLLETS

INSERTING

  1. Insert collet into nut at angle as shown to engage extraction tongue in groove of collet.
  2. Screw nut onto collet holder with collet securely in nut.
  3. Insert tool to be gripped and lock nut.

IMPORTANT: Never screw nut onto collet unless collet is properly seated in nut.

RELEASING
Hold nut in vertical position and remove nut at an angle. Collet is automatically withdrawn from chuck by excentric ring of nut when unscrewed.
