How it works

An expanding mandrel is inserted into the bore of a part

A tapered section moves into an expanding sleeve or collet.
The sleeve expands outward.
The bore of the workpiece is gripped evenly around its circumference.
This provides a secure, concentric hold without clamping the outside of the part.

Common uses
Expanding mandrels are used for:
Turning, grinding, and milling rings or hollow parts.
Holding bearings, bushes, gears, pulleys, and sleeves.
Inspecting parts while maintaining concentricity.
Assembly operations where the outside surface must not be damaged.
