SMW Autoblok, a company specializing in the design and manufacture of a range of products for the machine tool industry, presents the BB-FZA2G pneumatic 3+3 sequencing air chuck. Featuring an extended stroke clamping range and three self-centering jaws with axial adjustment, this air chuck is said to be well-equipped to handle the harsh demands of the oil and gas industry. The self-centering function of the jaws allows for quick and easy setup of irregularly-shaped pipe for threading and rethreading, and the incorporation of three compensating jaws with a 1.5” clamping stroke eliminates the need to re-shim the part. This is designed to enhance operator safety, as well as overall productivity.

Designed for machining both straight and bent pipe, BB-FZAG is available in 740, 800 and 920 mm sizes to cover a range of pipe diameter sizes, with large through hole sizes of 275, 330 and 390 mm. This unique sequence chuck with a pressure control safety system is designed to increase production output, without re-shimmming of jaws.
