The special cover is fitted on the chuck in lieu of spring loaded centre to ensure that the chuck works as a self-centering type. GMT eccentric compensating chucks are supplied with spring loaded centre. The function of this spring loaded centre is to ensure that the component rests against its face. The chuck has a floating wedge for compensation, and is operated by power - hydraulic or pneumatic rotating cylinder or by an electro mechanical actuator. The body is of forged steel. The guideways are hardened and ground. The chuck body is suitably recessed to remove large amount of material. The floating wedge and base jaws are made from nickel chrome steel, case hardened and ground on all working surfaces The base jaws are guided in the deep, wide, hardened slots in the body, which provide the ample bearing area necessary to withstand the forces resulting from high gripping forces. Provision has been made for manual lubrication of the sliding surfaces periodically through grease nipples. Serrations are provided on the top face of the base jaws.
