Machining Center Components
TAC Rockford offers a wide range of components for CNC machining centers, for both milling and grinding machines. Components found here are designed in and around machining centers and may come in many custom variations for quick automatic tool changing (ATC) applications, automatic clamping spindles, pallet clamping and changing systems, and more.
Automatic Tool Clamping
BERG Spanntechnik offers power drawbars, hydraulic tool clamping cylinders, tool grippers, pallet clamping systems, as well as other related components and systems.
Turning-Center
BERG-Spanntechnik offers an extensive range of power operated chucks and hydraulic cylinders which meet all the requirements of modern CNC lathes as there are effective clamping force, attainable numbers of rotation, and precision, as well as center hole width for bar stock.
Pallet Clamping
BERG Spanntechnik pallet clamping heads are used in machining centers for highly accurate and rapid workpiece change.
Hydrodock
Hydrodock units form the basis of a very compact and flexible clamping system. They were originally conceptualized as for head change systems on large machining centers, but also find applications in diverse areas such as injection molding machines.
Tool Changing
For companies building rack style tool changers or for custom applications, we offer standard tool changer components.
Chillers
Due to continuous development of our products in the fields of cooling and filtering technology, BKW/KUMA has become a reliable partner of trade and industry.
Rotary Unions
Depending on the type of union, operating speeds ranging from 3,000 to 30,000 rpm with pressures up to 3,000 psi are possible. A number of models also have the capability to run dry if required. Custom-designed unions are also available.
In addition to a standard product line, we also offer rotary unions that are interchangeable with common rotary union products used in the machine tool industry. High quality and long service life make our rotary unions an excellent replacement part choice.
We provide application-engineering services for rotary unions and stock common replacement unions in Rockford, IL. Contact us for more information.
Hydrostatic Systems
The Hyprostatik PM-Flow Controller and hydrostatic components have been implemented in over 4,000 varied types of precision machine tools and components.
Hirth Couplings
If you need Hirth couplings or a Hirth coupling-style product, please send a drawing or ask us for a brochure, which shows dimensions for standard sizes, calculation formulas for sizing, and information about the manufacturing process. Delivery time is fast, many standard sizes are available from stock, the quality is excellent, and we believe our prices are unbeatable!
We manufacture standard Hirth couplings in all diameters from 50 to 1,000 mm, and with 24 to 720 teeth (depending on the diameter).
Need custom couplings? Not a problem! We routinely manufacture custom pieces per customer drawings, including 3 piece couplings and diameters up to 1,150 mm. All couplings come with a certificate of dimension specifics for your records.
If you need Hirth couplings or a Hirth coupling-style product, please send a drawing or refer to the dimensions for standard sizes on datasheet 330.110. Contact us for additional information on calculating formulas for sizing -- we can help with any of your Hirth coupling questions.
