We pride ourselves on being able to provide accurate pricing and availability on the parts that are not in stock the day you call. Based on the huge success in Davenport, as well as its original use in the New Britain machines design, we were convinced that we could supply the screw machine industry with another innovative chucking item. Our barrel chuck will make your Acme machine more productive, with less down time, smoother stock feeding and extended part life. Closer tolerances can be held. With a barrel chuck there are no pins to break off, levers to replace, or contaminants to remove.
Lubrication is easy, infrequent and inexpensive.
What is of special interest is the fact that the price of this part is less than the total of all the parts it replaces. This feature allows for more consistent pressure. All of the parts are made of hardened steel except for the bronze retainer and bronze inserts. The use of the bronze retainer stops contaminants from entering the assembly. The inserts are hardened and hold the barrels in place.
