ER50 Collet

An ER50 collet is a type of tool-holding device used primarily in milling and machining applications. It is part of the ER collet system, which is known for its versatility and precision. The "50" in ER50 indicates the size, with ER collets coming in various sizes ranging from ER8 to ER50, where larger sizes can hold larger tool shanks.

Key characteristics of an ER50 collet include:

1. Shape and Design: ER collets have a cylindrical shape with a series of slots cut into the collet body, allowing it to flex and grip the tool securely.

2. Grip Range: The ER50 collet can hold a range of tool shank diameters, making it suitable for different applications.

3. Precision: These collets are designed for high precision, ensuring that the tool is held firmly and accurately, which is crucial for achieving tight tolerances in machining.

4. Compatibility: ER50 collets are typically used with ER50 collet chucks or tool holders, making them a flexible option for various setups.

5. Material: They are usually made from high-quality steel or other durable materials to withstand the rigors of machining.
