Crankshaft chucks for all machining operations

The special geometry of cast and forged automobile crankshafts places the highest demands on the dry machining of journal bearings. Accordingly, FORKARDT developed a clamping and chucking system which not only guarantees the required precision, but also the highest degree of flexibility. The result is economic production through substantially shortened set-up times, low maintenance and consistent high precision.

Highlights of the FORKARDT crankshaft chucks technology

• Maximum functional reliability, minimum maintenance.
• Crankshaft chuck set-up on centreline by simple adjustment of the chuck body.
• Minimised set-up times to other crankshaft types due to the simple configuration of exchange parts.
• Smooth chuck surfaces to assist optimum swarf clearance.
• Ground jaws providing precise repeatability of < 0.03mm.
