5C and 16C Low Pressure Hydraulic Collet Closers from Lexair, Inc. Ensure Accurate Workholding
LEXINGTON, KY (July 26, 2002) -Low pressure hydraulic collet closers from Lexair, Inc. are designed for accurate repeatability in workholding applications requiring fast loading and unloading of parts.
The Lexair 5C Low Pressure Hydraulic Collet Closer operates at line pressure of 750 psi hydraulic max. and accepts all standard 5C collets while the 16C model operates at 2,000 psi hydraulic max. and accepts all standard 16C collets.
The double-acting design of both models ensures positive opening and closing of the collet and with fixed length operation, the collet and part do not move, maintaining desired part height.
Their compact profile allows multiple units to be mounted on a fixture and operated simultaneously. Individual closers on the fixture can be coupled on two sides using special connector bushings, eliminating excessive piping requirements.
Both models feature orientation holes in the base for precision alignment.
A full line of Lexair hydraulic accessories, including fittings, hydraulic pumps, valves, hoses and couplers, are available for the low pressure 5C and 16C hydraulic collet closers.
Lexair is a manufacturer and marketer of heavy duty, precision hydrodynamic bar feed systems; magazine style short bar loaders; fixed length, direct mount and wrench-operated collet chucks; collet workholding systems, and CNC bar pullers.
