Three Vortex wrench systems, model 10039
The VERTEX chuck wrench type model 10039 is a precise and reliable tool widely used in turning operations for securely holding and centering workpieces on a lathe machine. Its body is made from high-quality alloy steel and undergoes heat treatment to ensure durability and resistance against wear, impact, and mechanical stress during machining. This model features three high-precision jaws that open and close simultaneously and symmetrically, allowing for stable and accurate clamping of the workpiece. The wrench-operated design enables the user to adjust the jaws easily and with greater control using a dedicated chuck key, enhancing operational precision.
Structurally, the VERTEX model 10039 is equipped with a durable internal mechanism—typically of scroll or gear type—that efficiently transfers the torque from the wrench to synchronized jaw movement. The jaws themselves are usually made from hardened steel, offering optimal performance under high friction and stress conditions. The precise locking system design helps prevent slippage or unwanted displacement of the workpiece, thereby improving the final surface quality of the machined part. This chuck is available in standard sizes suitable for both bench and medium industrial lathes and, with the VERTEX brand, guarantee
