Crankshaft chucks for all machining operations

Special chucks brochure


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.
