What is BS 1983-4 - Performance of power-operated work holding chucks at speed about?
BS 1983 is a British standard that discusses chucks for machine tools and portable power tools. BS 1983-4 is the fourth part of the multi-part series that outlines the criteria which affect the performance at the speed of power-operated work holding chucks of machine tools, and which are to be stated by the manufacturer and supplied with each chuck to the supplier and user.
Who is BS 1983-4 - Performance of power-operated work holding chucks at speed for?
BS 1983-4 on the performance of power-operated work holding chucks at speed is useful for:
- Power-operated work holding chuck manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Power-operated work holding chuck suppliers
Why should you use BS 1983-4 - Performance of power-operated work holding chucks at speed?
The safe grip performance of chucks is a problem that has been present ever since the chuck, in its current form, was developed. The problem has been accentuated in recent years due to the increased spindle speeds and power available on current types of machine tools. These factors are continuing to increase due to the improvements being brought about in cutting tools and machine tool technology.
To highlight the problems and danger involved in using chucks at high rotational speed, BS 1983-4 indicates the various influential factors and their relative importance to guide the user as well as the supplier.
BS 1983-4 assists you with the criteria that affect the performance of work holding chucks like at data to be stated and engraved on chucks, data to be stated only, jaws, state of balance, a moment of inertia of chuck, application, maintenance, and specimen gripping forces. This guides you in maintaining the performance of work holding chucks to ensure they are highly efficient, durable and of a high standard.
