What to Look for When Buying Used Royal Products Accessories
Royal Products manufactures precision CNC accessories to tight tolerances and high durability standards. Used units often retain excellent accuracy, but workholding and machine accessories are wear items that benefit from careful inspection before purchase.
On collet chucks, check body concentricity and collet seat condition. Mount the chuck on a spindle and indicate the bore. Quick-Grip chucks should hold 0.0002-inch TIR when properly installed. Inspect the collet seat taper for wear or burring. On Accu-Length and Pullback models, test the draw mechanism for smooth operation. Verify the drawtube connector matches your lathe.
On live centers, test bearing condition and runout. Royal live centers carry a TIR guarantee of plus or minus 0.00005 inches when new. Spin the center by hand and feel for roughness or play. Check runout at the point with an indicator. Verify the Morse Taper shank for scoring that could affect tailstock seating.
On I.D. workholding, inspect expanding sleeves and mandrel condition. Royal I.D. systems use hardened mandrels with a 0.032-inch expansion range. Check sleeves for wear, cracking, or loss of grip. Verify mandrel surfaces are free of scoring. Test expansion for smooth, concentric actuation. Confirm body, mandrel, and sleeves are compatible Royal series (models A through E share a common interface).
On bar pullers and automation accessories, verify function under power. Test bar pullers for reliable gripping and release. On coolant-actuated models, confirm engagement at your machine's coolant pressure. On Rota-Rack accumulators, test indexing and verify part pockets are undamaged.
Royal Products CNC Collet Chucks
Quick-Grip CNC Collet Chuck System
The Quick-Grip is Royal's flagship product: a CNC collet chuck system enabling collet changes in as little as 10 seconds with 0.0002-inch TIR accuracy. A patented installation tool compresses the collet rear for fast insertion. Thousands of standard round, hex, square, and emergency collets are stocked for same-day shipping with capacities up to 4 inches.
Low-Profile 5C, 16C & 3J Collet Chucks
Low-profile CNC collet chucks in 5C, 16C, and 3J configurations provide compact workholding with minimal spindle overhang. Accu-Length models position the workpiece to a repeatable Z-axis datum. Pullback models draw the workpiece against a locating face for positive seating. Each chuck ships with a custom-machined drawtube connector for hassle-free installation on your specific lathe.
Power-Block Collet Fixtures & Z-Lock
Power-Block collet fixtures serve machining center and 4th/5th axis applications in key-operated, hydraulic, and pneumatic configurations with capacities up to 4 inches. Z-Lock zero-point workholding provides rapid, repeatable fixture changes on machining centers with sub-micron positioning accuracy.
Royal Products Live Centers & Dead Centers
Royal invented the changeable-point live center and remains a market leader. Current models feature Roto-Shield sealed bearing technology, guaranteed TIR of plus or minus 0.00005 inches, and high-pressure coolant approval. Heavy-duty models handle loads up to 4,080 pounds at 6,000 RPM in Morse Taper 2 through 6 and straight shank configurations. Extended-point and spring-loaded designs serve specialized turning applications. Dead centers are available for fixed-point support.
Royal Products Bar Pullers, Automation & Shop Accessories
CNC bar pullers automate bar-fed lathe operations. Models include mechanical, coolant-actuated (Grippex 20L), and combination bar puller/cutoff designs. The Rota-Rack rotary parts accumulator collects finished parts from CNC lathes for lights-out and unattended machining. Filtermist mist collectors (FX series) capture oil mist and smoke from metalworking operations. Albrecht precision drill chucks provide German-engineered accuracy for CNC drilling. Additional accessories include deburring tools, machine mounts, PneuVac coolant sump cleaners, chuck stops, and R-8 quick change tooling systems for manual mills.
