Product Description
The GAMET True Chuck is a specialized workholding device built for precision, power, and durability in demanding machining environments. The "Gamet" name is associated with both a legacy of robust manual chucks from an Indian manufacturer and a line of high-performance hydraulic and power chucks for CNC machines, particularly from the brand's international presence. Regardless of its specific type, a GAMET True Chuck is engineered to provide an exceptionally reliable and accurate grip.
For the manual versions (often associated with Gamets International), the chuck is distinguished by its unique construction. It often replaces the conventional scroll and bevel gear with a worm and wormwheel drive system paired with circular cams. This design significantly increases mechanical advantage, resulting in a gripping force many times more powerful than that of a standard scroll chuck for the same key effort. This system, made from hardened and ground alloy steels, ensures self-locking action and a large bearing area to minimize wear and maintain accuracy over time.
For the hydraulic and power versions (associated with the international brand), the GAMET chuck is a high-speed, high-force solution for CNC turning centers. These are engineered for rapid and repeatable clamping, crucial for high-volume production. They are built with a robust, heavy-duty steel body and feature a precise jaw mechanism, often with a large through-hole capacity. These chucks are designed to withstand high RPMs and provide a stable, concentric grip for complex and heavy cutting operations.
