Shrink Fit Toolholders

Shrink Fit toolholders are designed and constructed for optimum accuracy, rigidity and balance.


Shrink Fit toolholders are designed and constructed for optimum accuracy, rigidity and balance. Featuring solid construction and Japanese engineering, these holders offer minimal variations of unbalance when changing cutting tools. Used in combination with a Shrink Fit Unit, Shrink Fit toolholders rapidly heat up to expand the inside diameter of the holder. As the holder cools, the thermal contraction exerts a uniform pressure that shrinks down around the tool for uniform and superior gripping. This process not only ensures accuracy, but also allows for tool changes of less than 30 seconds.

The separate Shrink Fit Unit employs a unique direct liquid-cooling method that quickly and safely cools tools down. Lyndex-Nikken Shrink Fit toolholders are designed to be symmetrical. All Shrink Fit Holders are pre-balanced (to G2.5 at 40,000rpm on all HSK32E/40E holders, to G2.5 at 20,000rpm on all #40 taper/HSK63 holders, and to G2.5 at 15,000rpm on all #50 taper/HSK100 holders).

Also on display will be the 5AX-200II CNC rotary table, the E123 presetter, the self-sealed ER coolant collets, a full line of live tools for lathes, the Ultra Large Bore (205mm) rotary table, and high performance VC toolholders.
