Three and Four Jaw Chucks



Vertech International is one of the leading suppliers of quality solutions in manufacturing and commercial products. As one of the top-rated suppliers for the Department of Defence and Lockheed Martin, the company takes utmost care to deliver innovative products. Vertech International is also called the “Smart Jaws” company due to its excellent range of chuck jaws products.

There are two most commonly used chucks in the manufacturing industry. The three-jawed chuck has three slots for chuck jaws of various kinds. In addition, three-jawed chucks can have one hole for the chuck wrench to tighten or release the clamped jaws. Due to their circular design, three-jaw chucks are optimal for gripping cylindrical or hexagonal cross-sections.

The four-jawed chuck contains three slots for jaws. It usually has a longer setup time due to having four holes for the wrench. Each hole controls one slot, allowing users more options when clasping irregularly-shaped cross-section objects. Four-jawed chucks have a higher overall gripping power and are mainly used for grabbing octagonal, square, or irregular cross-sections. Four-jawed chucks also allow for easier eccentric turning due to their non-centering nature and customizability.
