MicroCentric product offering
Product offeringCore offering
MicroCentric designs, manufactures, and sells precision workholding equipment — primarily high-precision air chucks, power chucks, collet chucks, and diaphragm chucks — for CNC machining, grinding, and manufacturing operations. Products achieve Total Indicator Readings (TIR) as low as 0.00005 inches and are supplied to industrial manufacturers globally through direct sales and regional offices in the USA and Europe.
Product overview
MicroCentric is a precision workholding technology company founded in 1969, offering a comprehensive portfolio of high-precision chucks and clamping solutions for CNC machining, grinding, and manufacturing applications. The product line centers around five core product families: Precision Air Chucks (their flagship product with TIR as low as 0.00005 inches), Precision Power Chucks (PPC series with higher clamping force), Quick Change Collet Chucks (with multiple dead-length, pull-back, and combination designs), High Precision Diaphragm Chucks (MBS series using flexible diaphragm technology), and KSF Precision Power Chucks. Supporting these are Air Cylinders & Collet Closers (LDN series), Quick Change Collets for Multi Spindle Machines (compatible with Acme-Gridley, Conomatic, Davenport, Euroturn, New Britain, and Wickman machines), Wide Opening Collets (5W series), and Chuck Lubricant & Accessories. The company also specializes in custom-engineered workholding systems for specific workpiece and machine applications, featuring innovations such as the Precision Change (QC) Jaw System for rapid jaw changes and the Auto-Lube automated lubrication option. Products are backed by superior design, high quality materials, and precision workmanship for reliable long-term performance.
