Designed for Manufacturing UNILOCK chucks are easy to maintain with compressed air. Chips won’t be forced inside due to the tight fit between clamping rams and the chuck body. Any debris in the clamping pocket can be quickly cleared with an air gun. The fully retracting wedges and 1:1 length-to-diameter ratio make cleaning simple with no vacuum needed. The robust 40 mm × 40 mm clamping knob adds stability and acts as a foot for safe handling and storage. No protective sleeves or special shelving are required. Multiple male and female thread sizes are available.

UNILOCK is built to accommodate warped workpieces and fixtures. Its shallow clamping pocket allows knob entry at angles up to 23°, making it ideal for uneven setups. Undersized, standard and special clamping knobs are available to support out-of-position datums with ease.

The radius on the clamping knob’s smaller bottom diameter helps guide it into the chuck during out-of-position loading. This is especially useful for large workpieces that may warp, expand or contract, ensuring smooth and accurate engagement.
