What is a keyless chuck and how does it work?

A keyless chuck is simply a holder that allows you to mount and hold different tools such as drill bits, abrasive tools or sanding drums. Climax Keyless Chucks are manufactured to mount on a 1/2-20 threaded shaft. Tightening or loosening the chuck will open or close the jaws allowing for installation or removal of various tools.

For applications involving an existing round shaft as seen in the image above, Climax offers a wide range of Motor/Grinder Arbors that can be used in conjunction with our keyless chucks. These Motor & Grinder Shaft Arbors can be found on our website here: https://catalog.climaxmetal.com/category/arbors

Climax offers two keyless chucks that accommodate tool shank sizes up to 1/2″ in diameter. These parts are:

Climax Part No.	Fits Threaded Shaft	Chuck Capacity
C-2	1/2″-20 RH	1/4″
C-4	1/2″-20 RH	1/2″
