SMW Autoblok Introduces Sealed Sliding Jaw Chucks



Wheeling, IL - SMW Autoblok is pleased to introduce a full line of sealed sliding jaw chucks. While typical sliding jaw chucks require daily lubrication, SMW Autoblok's new sealed sliding jaw chucks can go without lubrication for a period of six months, drastically reducing maintenance time.

Using specially designed master jaws, internal parts and high quality Teflon seals to create an airtight seal, these sealed chucks keep chips, dirt, and fluids out of the chuck body. This prevents contamination of the chuck's internal components, even in aggressive applications such as cast iron machining, dry machining, and machining with high-pressure coolant.

SMW Autoblok's sealed chucks allow for six-month lubrication intervals, eliminating lost production time and increased costs associated with daily lubrication. These sealed chucks automatically distribute lubrication to all internal components, providing longer workholding life over traditional sliding jaw chucks. Additionally, since no lubrication is lost, SMW Autoblok's sealed sliding jaw chucks are able to maintain constant gripping force throughout the lubrication interval. Traditional sliding jaw chucks loose lubricant, decreasing gripping force up to 50% and affecting the consistency of the finished parts.

SMW Autoblok offers a variety of sizes and styles of sealed sliding jaw chucks, including Open Center Standard Chucks and Closed Center Chucks in Standard, Long-Stroke, High-Speed, and Quick Jaw Change configurations.
