NIKKEN's Multi-Lock BT50

As with all NIKKEN NC Tool Solutions, to meet the requirements of both customer/process and machine tool, the Multi-Lock has numerous shank sizes, and options to consider.

The standard Multi-Lock features a notched nose ring to accept an optional hook type wrench for tightening. We also provide a ‘high speed’ alternative which, because of the smooth ring, requires our exclusive ‘GH Handle’ roller bearing wrench to tighten.

The Multi-Lock is most effective when ‘direct chucking’ is applied (so the Multi-Lock capacity selected exactly matches the shank size of the end mill/cutter to be used). For added versatility we do also provide our range of KM precision parallel collets to increase the application scope of the chuck.

Multi-Lock, depending on tool shank, is available in 6 standard sizes:

• C12 - 12mm direct chucking, or with a collet to suit diameters 2.0mm to 10.0mm.
• C16 - 16mm direct chucking, or with a collet to suit diameters 2.0mm to 12.0mm.
• C20 - 20mm direct chucking, or with a collet to suit diameters 2.0mm to 16.0mm.
• C25 - 25mm direct chucking, or with a collet to suit diameters 3.0mm to 22.0mm.
• C32 - 32mm direct chucking, or with a collet to suit diameters 3.0mm to 30.0mm.
• C42 - 42mm direct chucking, or with a collet to suit diameters 3.0mm to 40.0mm.

Coolant requirements can also be catered for by utilising our CCK threaded precison parallel collets along with the appropriate CKFN front nut.
