Dillon Manufacturing’s claw jaws feature an optimized contour which, along with the jaws’ weight, center of gravity and cutting forces, combine to securely grip workpieces by minimizing jaw clamping force losses. Designed to bite into the workpiece, they provide increased holding power and enable more aggressive turning, according to the company.
Available for most commercial chucks, these specialized claw jaws provide increased clamping pressures on both the OD and ID of the workpiece. Clamping depth can be varied using workpiece stops, providing flexibility in machining. Many standard sizes are stocked, and custom designs are available with no engineering fees. Manufactured from 8620 steel for durability and long service life, an extensive product range is ideal for ID, OD and bar clamping applications. Made in the U.S., the claw jaws are said to offer competitive pricing, fast delivery, enhanced productivity and long service to reduce tooling costs. Dillon claw jaws are designed for turning applications in any industry.
