Royal Machine’s New Steel Bodied Manual Large Diameter Chucks are manufactured in the USA in sizes from 24” to 72” and are custom designed and built to customer specifications.

In making the announcement, Guy Byrne, General Manager, stated, “Unlike older inferior designs using Cast Iron Bodies and Scrolls that have limited wear ability, this new design boasts its superior steel strength, induced wear resistant body, hardened and precision ground Master Jaws and Wedge.

This produces increased accuracies and wedge style gripping forces. Aside from these benefits, this “Next Generation” design uses a readily replaceable pinion gear for added torque and also has improved chip protection to help reduce contamination and downtime for maintenance.

These New Steel Bodied Manual VTL Large Diameter Chucks are particularly applicable to the medical, aerospace, and energy technology industries.

All Large Diameter Power Chucks are now available in standard 2-Jaw, 3-Jaw, 4-Jaw and a combination 2/3 – Jaw configuration with both adjustable and non-adjustable Master Jaw styles as well as special requirements for 6 or 12–Jaw and self-contained applications.

Manufactured in the USA, the large load bearing surfaces of all Royal Large Size Power Chucks reduce wear, increase accuracy and extend service life. Easy-access lubricating fittings in each master jaw and chuck body provide lubrication for all wearing surfaces. In addition, the large diameter chucks’ basic design maximizes chip and coolant protection.
