3X5CAT CAT Spindle Gripper

Characteristic

Model : 3X5CAT

This gripper series is designed for ASME B5.50 CAT30, CAT40, and CAT50 spindles, adopting an M45 mechanical force amplification system. It allows strong and stable clamping force in limited spindle space, making it ideal for high-speed and high-precision machining environments.

Fixed 45° clamping angle for efficient pulling and smooth releasing
Modular design ensures easy installation and maintenance
Male-threaded interface for standard pull stud attachment
Compatible with most CNC machines using CAT spindle interfac
