How are OZ Collets different from ER or TG Collets?

While ER and TG collets focus on precision or high torque, OZ collets strike a balance between both. They have fewer slots than ER collets, which makes them more rigid and durable in repetitive tool changes. Explore differences at pactoolsusa.com.

What does “EOC” stand for in OZ collets?

EOC stands for “Extended Outside Clamping,” which refers to the way the collet exerts strong radial pressure on the tool shank from the outer diameter inward. It’s a designation often used in European machine tools. More info at pactoolsusa.com.

What sizes and types are available in OZ collets?

Common OZ collet sizes include EOC25, EOC32, and EOC40, each supporting different shank diameters. These are often used in turret drilling machines, tapping arms, and light CNC setups. View size charts at pactoolsusa.com.

Are OZ Collets compatible with standard holders?

No, OZ collets require dedicated OZ collet chucks or EOC-compatible toolholders. They are not interchangeable with ER or SK systems. Confirm holder compatibility at pactoolsusa.com.

How do I maintain OZ (EOC) Collets?

Regularly clean the slots and bore to prevent chip buildup. Apply a light rust-preventive oil and avoid overtightening to maintain gripping accuracy and extend life. Maintenance tips available at pactoolsusa.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are OZ (EOC) Collets used for? ▼

OZ (also known as EOC) Collets are used for holding cutting tools in CNC milling, drilling, and boring operations. They are known for a strong gripping force and good vibration control. As an OZ (EOC) Collet supplier in USA, PAC Precision Tools provides reliable collets for demanding CNC applications.

2. How do OZ Collets compare with TG or ER collets in vibration absorption? ▼

OZ Collets offer better vibration absorption than standard ER collets and perform similarly to TG collets in heavy-duty applications. Their design provides stable tool holding, which helps reduce chatter and improves surface finish during machining.

3. What innovations in OZ Collets improve coolant penetration during drilling? ▼

Modern OZ Collets are designed with optimized slot geometry that allows better coolant flow toward the cutting edge. This improves cooling, chip evacuation, and drilling performance, especially in deep-hole and continuous drilling operations.
