Expanding mandrels are the ideal solution to various internal clamping problems. Expanding mandrels provide the benefits of versatility and accuracy when compared to other workholding methods. The power operated, flange type expanding mandrels can be used on any machine with drawbar facility. The natural pull back action of the sleeve ensures the component is resting against the locating face. There is high clamping force due to the clamping sleeve being in contact along its entire length through double angle.
Expanding mandrels provide the following workholding features:
- Quick and secure clamping
- Positive location against backstops
- Controlled datums
- Uniform expansion
- Positioning accuracy
- Sleeve interchangeability - As sleeves in one type are interchangeable, one single expanding mandrel covers a very large clamping range.
- No pressure marks in the clamped bore. Easy loading.
How much will be the collet expansion?
ReplyDeleteIt can be expanded upto 0.5mm but considering accuracy and consistency H9 tolerance zone is recommended in components. Write to us with your specific requirement and we will provide a solution.
Deletewhat should be tolerance in the components for using Expanding mandrels?
ReplyDeleteH9 tolerance zone is recommended in components for accuracy and repeatability
DeleteWhat is the use of a expanding mandrel?
ReplyDeleteThe expanding mandrel can be used for turning, milling , grinding and gear hobbing operations.
DeleteWhat are the benefits if I use the expanding mandrel ?
ReplyDeleteThe benefits are:
Delete1. High accuracy and positioning repeatability
2. High clamping force because of the axial movement of the clamping sleeve during actuation against the fixed arbor.
3.Improved productivity due to quick set up time.
