ER Collet Taper Plug Gauge Carrying Case

For holding a complete set: ER11, 16, 20, 25, 32, 40 (Gauges not included). Can be customized upon request.

KM Taper Identification

Kennametal's KM tooling system comes in several different varieties. The size is defined by the tool change flange diameter. For example, KM63 holders have a 63mm diameter flange.

Types include KM ISO (KM TS™), KM XMZ™, KM 4X™, KM NTC, and KM ATC™

With the ForceCheck collet force gauge, the clamping forces on collets and hydraulic tool holders can be measured to obtain accurate machining specifications while fulfilling ISO standard requirements.

Available in complete sets for 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 10 mm, 16 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm and other diameters.

The ForceCheck collet force gauge allows tool holder and workholding collet holding force to be quickly and easily measured.



Because it is problematic to measure, this critical holding force is typically not checked, even though it plays an important role in manufacturing repeatability.



TAC Rockford, makers of the ForceCheck drawbar clamping measurement system, offers a simple, efficient, and consistently accurate collet force measurement unit.



With this system you can accurately and consistently measure the clamping forces on collets and hydraulic tool holders to obtain accurate machining specifications while fulfilling your company's or customer's ISO standard requirements.



Complete sets include a durable display with standard 9 volt battery, connecting cable, carrying case, and measuring bar.



Individual measuring bars for any size diameter are available.

ForceCheck Workholding Collet Force Gauge

ForceCheck collet force gauges provide a quick and easy way to check force on collet workholding systems.

Applications for ForceCheck workholding collet force gauges include:

-Comparison of holding force between machines, allowing for consistent and repeatable production results regardless of mechanism (manual, hydraulic, or pneumatic)
-Periodic verification to assess if preventive maintenance is needed
-Establish correct holding force for running a particular part or job
-Determine optimal holding force for thin-wall, rings, and other parts sensitive to damage or distortion when machining


A sensor is needed for each diameter to be measured. A ForceCheck base set with display is needed to display results (order separately).
Sensors are also available in low-force versions. Contact us for further information.
