TENDO-SVL is a long, slim hydraulic tool extension, which works without any peripheral equipment and independent of the type of spindle interface. The extension converts almost any precision toolholder into a highly flexible specialist for tight machine rooms. The precise run-out accuracy, the excellent vibration dampening and even an internal coolant supply assure excellent workpiece machining results and long tool life.

Knowledgeable: The Unique Extension for Different Diameters

The highly precise, fine-balanced TENDO tool extension from the competence leader in clamping technology and gripping systems, the tools can be changed quickly and easily with a T-handle Allen wrench. A new feature is that the position of the actuation screw is located radially on the side making tool changes easy and if necessary they can be done directly in the machine. Schunk standard 12 mm and 20 mm diameter intermediate sleeves can be used to reduce to smaller clamping diameters

High Torque

The high torque of the extension assures a safe hold of the tools during boring, reaming, and finishing. Instead of using expensive tools with a special design, one single TENDO extension is sufficient which can be equipped with various standard tools, depending on the application.

With a high degree of flexibility, radial clamping actuation, internal coolant supply, and high torque, the innovative extension of the innovative family-owned company is setting benchmarks in quality at the workpiece, ergonomics, set-up time, and reduced costs.

The standard version of extensions consists of two different sizes with shank diameters of 32 or 20 mm. The TENDO SVL extensions are available in clamping diameter 20 or 12 mm, with an overall length of 150 mm. Additional length 200 mm for 32 mm shank diameter is available on request.
