The OMIL MFA is a stationary pneumatic 3-jaw self-centering power chuck designed for fixed mounting on CNC lathes and turning centers. Pneumatic actuation provides consistent, repeatable clamping force without the complexity of hydraulic systems, making the MFA suitable for automated production where clean, oil-free operation is preferred. The self-centering scroll mechanism ensures the workpiece is automatically centered upon clamping.

How does the MFA compare to OMIL's MAS-G3 series?

The MFA and MAS-G3 are both stationary pneumatic 3-jaw self-centering chucks from OMIL, but they serve different clamping force requirements. The MFA provides up to 10,100 N clamping force with a 60.5 mm maximum through-bore and 32 mm stroke, while the MAS-G3 delivers higher clamping force (up to 16,650 N) with a 50 mm stroke. The MFA targets general-purpose CNC turning, while the MAS-G3 is configured for applications requiring higher gripping force.

What applications is the MFA suited for?

The MFA's pneumatic operation with IP40 ingress protection makes it suitable for dry or minimally lubricated CNC turning environments. The 60.5 mm through-bore accommodates bar stock feeding for production turning of shafts, bushings, and cylindrical components. Stroke control is integrated for monitoring jaw position in automated cycles.
