Wearing-Part Inserts from Boschert: Optimized for High Speed and Torque

To meet the increasing demands for higher speeds and greater torque in modern manufacturing, Boschert has developed its innovative VT-inserts – precision-engineered wearing parts designed for easy replacement and operational flexibility.

Compatibility and Range

Boschert's safety chucks from size 22-30 up to 80-120 are available with VT-inserts. Larger chuck sizes, from 120-180 up to 170-230, come equipped with wear plates instead. These VT-inserts are not only interchangeable but also serve as crucial wear components, enabling long-term performance without excessive maintenance.

Key Benefits of VT-Inserts

• Fast Replacement: VT-wearing parts can be replaced in just a few minutes without dismantling the safety chuck from the machine – significantly reducing downtime.
• Flexible Sizing: Easily change to different square sizes by simply switching out the VT-inserts within the same chuck housing.
• Customizable Hardness: VT-parts can be supplied either hardened for durability or in a softer state to safeguard more expensive winding shafts.
• Low Inventory Costs: Due to their modular nature and standardization, VT-inserts reduce warehousing requirements.
• Geometry Adaptability: Allows seamless conversion between geometries (e.g., from square to VT6 or VT7) without replacing the entire chuck.

For customers using custom shaft ends, opting for chucks with VT-inserts ensures rapid availability of spare parts. While VT-inserts are available from stock in most common sizes, custom shafts may require longer lead times. Boschert strongly recommends keeping one or more sets of VT-inserts in stock to avoid production delays during emergencies.

Conversion and Compatibility

Please note: C-Chucks cannot be retrofitted with VT-inserts. However, a conversion to VT-Chucks is possible by modifying the shafts and handwheels. This offers a path forward for customers seeking improved efficiency and maintenance convenience.

Boschert’s VT-wearing part inserts represent a smart investment in machine uptime, torque capacity, and shaft protection. Their simple replacement process and versatility make them an ideal choice for manufacturers focused on reducing downtime and maintaining high-performance standards.
