How to Use This Calculator
- Select holding type (collet or jaw chuck) and enter the nominal collet or chuck size.
- Enter the collet collapse range (mm) or jaw stroke for chucks.
- Input maximum grip force and your workpiece diameter.
- Review whether the part diameter falls within the holding range and effective grip force.
- Check typical TIR (concentricity) to ensure the workholding meets your tolerance requirements.
