Tapping chuck SK 40 - M3-M14 - Gr.1 DIN 69871 A with length compensation
402.16.12
The process of tapping is a complex balance of rotational and axial movements of
the tool. It is sometimes necessary to restrict the axial movements of the tool.
If the axial movement is not accurately controlled, the leading or trailing fl anks of
the tap may be forced to progressively “shave” one fl ank of the component thread,
thus producing a thin and oversize thread in the component.
Tension – forward fl oat capability allows the tap to progress into the component
without interference from the axial feed of the machine spindle.
Compression – backward fl oat capability, acts as a cushion and allows the tap to
commence cutting at its owns axial feed independent of the machine spindle.
Compression/Tension – fl oat is designed to negate any external forces during the
machining operation.
Radial fl oat – allows for slight misalignment of the machine spindle axis and hole
axis prior to tapping. This is not recommended manufacturing practice and should
be avoided.

For a correct use of the tapping chuck, please check, during the fi rst thread, not
to exceed the max. asial stroke of the compensation values. This ist to avoid damaging the thread or the tapping chuck.
