Collet is a workpiece holder that is commonly used in the milling and lathe machine to hold workpieces of various shapes and sizes. The 85Z18 collet is one of the types of collets that businesses can order.
Universal collets:
Universal collet is a small, cylindrical sleeve that is used to hold or grasp a workpiece with the help of a machine tool. It is available in multiple sizes to provide support for different diameter ranges. Generally, universal collets are used for round workpieces. However, there are types of universal collets that also can hold non-round or hexagonal shapes, such as square collets.
Taper collets:
Taper collets have a tapered shape. Due to the tapered geometry, they can grasp workpieces with different diameters firmly. In particular, taper collets are commonly used to hold workpieces with small diameters, such as drill bits. They have some advantages, such as high accuracy, ease of use, and adaptability, which make them extremely suitable for workpiece-holding and assembly functions.
Flex collets:
Flex collets are a single or multiple split collet design. The flexible collets can hold the workpieces that have an eccentric shape, such as an octagonal or triangular shape. In addition, they can absorb misalignment and provide a repeatable concentric grip.
80z18 collets have the following specifications:
Generally, 85z18 collets are low-maintenance accessories. However, they still require some care and attention to keep them in good working condition and ensure their longevity and optimal performance.
To maintain these collets, please do the following:
85z collets are useful in several industrial applications. Some of which include the following:
Business buyers should consider various factors before purchasing 85z18 collets for themselves or their end users.
Machinery Compatibility
Ensure the collet fits particular machining tools. Collet compatibility with machines guarantees simple fittings, efficient functioning, and a smooth machining process without interruptions.
Quality Material
The material used to manufacture the 85z18 collet affects its sturdiness and lifespan. Select collets made from solid materials like spring steel or carbon steel. Such materials offer high-performance holding capability and resilience under regular usage.
Operating Tolerance
Choose collets that can withstand high levels of intention and pressure. As a result, the equipment will work well, producing precise and excellent output. A collet with a high working tolerance protects both itself and the machining equipment.
Range of Workpieces
Depending on the type of workpiece, select the 85z18 collet that can hold particular workpieces. Collets are available in different types to cater to various workpieces. For example, an 85z18 rubber collet holds irregular shapes, while a standard one grips cylindrical workpieces.
Desired Grip Strength
Select the collet that provides the desired holding strength for the workpieces. Different collets offer various clamping forces. For instance, air collets apply more force than standard ones. Choose air collets if higher gripping strength is needed.
Budget Constraints
Business buyers should always consider the budget when purchasing machining tools. Set a budget limit and consider it when buying the 85z18 collet. Even though some high-performance collets may cost more, it's often a good idea to put quality first since durable collets lower replacement expenses.
Supplier Reputation
It’s important to research and considers the supplier’s reputation before buying the 85z18 collet. Choose reputable suppliers with positive reviews. A reputable supplier stands behind their products and offers decent after-sale services.
Q1: What materials are 85z18 collets made of?
A1: 85z18 collets are commonly made of metal materials like steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel, which provides them with good mechanical performance, lasting strength, and stability.
Q2: How are 85z18 collets stored and organized?
A2: 85z18 collets should be stored and organized in clean, dry, and preferably temperature-controlled environments. Bins can be used to keep different sizes of collets separate and prevent them from tangling with each other.
Q3: Are 85z18 collets interchangeable with other collet systems?
A3: Not collet systems are interchangeable with each other. The interchangeability depends on the specific size, shape, and design of the collet and the machine. Please consult relevant manufacturers' information before attempting to use.
Q4: Can users custom their 85z18 collets?
A4: Some manufacturers may provide custom services for business buyers, such as specifying particular materials, sizes, or quantities, etc. MOQ requirements and lead times will apply to relevant customization.
