Dillon Claw Jaws grip workpiece securely with flexibility

Dillon Mfg.’s Claw Jaws, which are available for most commercial chucks, provide increased clamping pressures on the workpiece OD and ID. According to the company, an optimized contour, along with the jaws’ weight, center of gravity, and cutting forces combine to minimize jaw clamping force loss. Clamping depth can be varied using workpiece stops.

Many sizes are available in standard versions from stock for a large product clamping range. Designed to bite into the workpiece, they provide increased holding power during turning operations. Manufactured from 8620 steel, the jaws are suitable for ID, OD, and bar clamping applications.
