TaeguTec has introduced the T-HyChuck, a hydraulic chuck range offering improved clamping performance and precision across a wide variety of machining applications. Designed as a direct replacement for the company’s existing THC hydraulic chuck line, the new range is fully compatible with current tooling.

Developed for manufacturers requiring high levels of surface finish, dimensional accuracy and process stability, the T-HyChuck incorporates a redesigned hydraulic mechanism featuring helical groove geometry and a precision rubber piston actuator. The system delivers run-out of 3 µm at 3xD, with 5 µm run-out on bore diameters from 25 to 32 mm and 7 µm on tool lengths of 150 mm or more, helping to reduce vibration and extend tool life.

The range comprises three variants. The THCG is intended for general high-precision drilling and end milling applications, while the slim-profile THCS has been developed for machining deep cavities and other areas where tool accessibility is restricted. Completing the range is the THCR, which features radial run-out adjustment via a set screw for applications requiring the highest levels of precision.

Manufactured to a hardness of 58-60 HRc, all variants are balanced to G2.5 at speeds up to 15,000 rpm, rising to 20,000 rpm for HSK-A models. Bore sizes range from 6 to 32 mm and are available with a comprehensive selection of spindle interfaces, including BT, DIN69871 and HSK configurations, allowing the T-HyChuck to be used on a wide range of machining centres.

TaeguTec recommends the use of h6 tolerance cylindrical shank tools, together with the specified clamping torque and tool insertion depths, to achieve optimum performance.
