GARANT Master Chuck hydraulic chuck
Advantages and disadvantages of conventional hydraulic chucks
The advantages of a conventional hydraulic chuck are plain to see. In practice, however, the problems of clamping with conventional chucks are also well-known –
high temperatures during machining can cause the oil to expand in the chambers and the bushing to burst at the soldering point, for example. In addition, not all chucks are suitable for all applications – partly because the holding forces are insufficient and partly because it is impossible to access hard-to-reach areas.

How does a hydraulic chuck work?
The pressure pin is moved via an actuating screw, which generates pressure in the oil chambers. The generated pressure compresses the pressure sleeve in the elastic area and thus clamps the respective tool in a manner that creates a frictional connection.
Advantages of a conventional hydraulic chuck
- Longer tool life
Thanks to outstanding vibration damping. - Perfect results and maximum precision
Both in terms of the concentricity and the repetition accuracy. - Easy to use – just one screw required
No special additional equipment/accessories are needed. - Incredibly versatile due to reducing adapters
All common tools can be held.
Disadvantages of a conventional hydraulic chuck
- Insufficient clamping force
Particularly for heavy-duty machining. - Interference contour
Hard-to-reach areas are not reached. - Temperature
Possible failure due to increase in temperature – especially in continuous operation.
The new GARANT Master Chuck hydraulic chucks
When developing the new GARANT Master Chuck, we took the well-known merits of a hydraulic chuck a step further and added several more compelling, advantageous features.
This means you can take tool clamping work in your Production department to the next level and achieve the best results and maximum repetition accuracy.
With the new GARANT Master Chuck, we have significantly expanded the possible application areas for hydraulic clamping technology.
Highlights include the changed design of the chambers inside and the resulting clearly improved properties – a clever solution that maximises power and precision.

My production. My system. From GARANT.
A crucial factor in your production workflows is how the various components interact. A balanced system of high-quality tools and accessories can make a key difference. We help you achieve the perfect result with the GARANT system concepts, expert advice and the extensive Hoffmann Group portfolio – so you’re guaranteed to take no risk.

Machine tools
What does a machine tool have to do to achieve perfect results?
- It must have the required stability.
- It requires a suitable spindle in terms of speed, balancing quality and bearing.
- Performance parameters (speed, feed rate, etc.)
- Production options (e.g. 5-axis machining)

Accessories
- Pull stud
The interface between the spindle and the arbor (e.g. for an SK adapter). The pull stud should be suitable for your machining job. - Reducing adapters
Not only make the hydraulic chuck more versatile, they also increase the clamping forces on the tool.

Tool chuck
The arbor has the task of clamping the tool and absorbing the forces. The following factors are important when selecting tool clamping devices:
- Concentricity
- Repetition accuracy
- Balancing quality
- Process reliability
- Flexibility

Workpiece clamping
As the workpiece clamping device is what connects the workpiece and the machine, you should not make any compromises here. Observe the following parameters:
- Flexibility
- Automation capability
- Clamping force
- Repetition accuracy
- Accessibility
- Handling

Machining technology
The effectiveness of your machining tool makes all the difference to how productive and reliable your work is. When selecting the right machining tool, observe these criteria in particular:
- What material is being machined?
- What cooling method is being used?
- Which machining strategy did you choose?
