KitagawaHard Jawssuit Power Chucks
Kitagawa hard jaws provide an effective and reliable solution for securely holding workpieces during first-operation machining. Their hardened, rugged gripping faces bite into the workpiece to provide a strong, dependable grip, helping to minimise movement under machining loads.
Kitagawa hard jaws offer defined gripping ranges for both external and internal workholding, depending on the chuck and jaw combination. Refer to the relevant chuck specification to confirm the minimum and maximum gripping diameters.
The HB Series is designed for use with Kitagawa power chucks and are available in a range of sizes and configurations to suit compatible chuck models. Kitagawa hard jaws are a durable choice for both general-purpose and demanding workholding applications.
