Custom bubble
collet chucks

Rather than two-diameter chucking or two-point clamping—which can throw parts out of tolerance—Stace-Allen’s custom bubble collets grip long parts in a single stage while keeping diameters concentric. We customize each bubble collet to fit your unique application, offering greater precision and more consistent results.

Custom collet chucks

If you need a chuck to hold a large part at high RPM, Stace-Allen can custom design a collet chuck to fit your needs. Our fixed stock large collet chucks are uniquely engineered to your specifications and requirements, and we test and keep improving to make your process run smoothly every time.
