HYDRO-SURE Adapters

May 13, 2013

ISCAR is introducing unique chucks that combine user-friendly hydraulic clamping with side screw clamping for Weldon type shank tools.

The new HYDRO-SURE (patent pending) adapters can be used for standard Weldon shank tools, meaning that there is no need for special/costly tools and adapters which prevent tools from pullout.

Main Features:

High torque transmission when using standard Weldon type shank tools

Axial and radial movement prevention of the cutter, tool pullout eliminated

Very accurate concentricity of 0.003mm

Very rigid peripheral hydraulic clamping also features vibration dampening

Suitable for both heavy duty and finishing applications

Excellent surface finishing and prolonged tool life in H.P.C. machining

The new HYDRO-SURE chucks are available for a tool diameter range of 16 to 32mm.
