INOFlex VL with centrifugal force compensation
The INOFlex® VL is a weight-reduced, 4-jaw manual chuck designed for precision and performance at high speeds. Featuring centrifugal force compensation, it delivers exceptional clamping force with minimal loss – even under demanding conditions.
- CENTRIFUGAL FORCE COMPENSATION
- highest speeds in its class
- now even higher clamping forces
- low overall height
- highest variety of sizes
- 2 + 2 centrically compensating clamping
- centric clamping with 2 jaws
- clamping with 1 or 2 fixed stops
- low maintenance thanks to sealing construction
- minimal clamping force loss thanks to centrifugal force compensation
- precise, efficient with high repeat accuracy
- high table loading due to weight-optimized chuck body
INOFlex® VL – Where Flexibility Meets Precision
Designed for the demands of modern machining, the INOFlex® VL now features centrifugal force compensation for even greater performance at speed. This advanced 4-jaw chuck offers compensating centric clamping for round, square, rectangular, and irregularly shaped parts – all with high precision and minimal deformation.
Available in sizes from Ø160 to Ø1200 mm, it brings together the benefits of 2-, 3-, and 4-jaw chucks and vices, while its patented design eliminates the drawbacks of over-constrained clamping.

How the INOFlex® System Works
Unlike traditional chucks where all jaws move symmetrically in or out from the centre, the INOFlex® operates on a unique concept. Its four jaws move along two parallel axes, either towards or away from each other. This motion is mechanically linked using a system of levers or a sliding gate-style gear, allowing opposing jaws to compensate as needed.
This patented compensating mechanism enables precise centric clamping of round, square, and unevenly shaped components – making it ideal for turning and milling operations that demand high accuracy.
