Kwik-Switch Taper (Universal Engineering)
|
Kwik-Switch was developed by Universal Engineering who manufactured it for many years.
Collis makes fully compatible tooling they call Rapid-Switch. SPI and Smith Tool also make compatible tooling.
The Kwik-Switch 200 is about the same size as the NMTB #30 but has more mass and a more positive lock.

SPI Quick Change shank
|
This Tool Shank looks very similar to Universal Kwik-Switch. However it is totally incompatible with Kwik-Switch.
I don't know who developed it or if there is an industry standard.
See SPI Catalog pages for tooling with this shank.
Nikken and Yuasa also make (made ?) compatible tooling.
Independent of who made the unit, on this site I refer to all shanks and masters compatible with the
"SPI Quick Change 75-3xx shank" as "SPI Quick Change 3" or "SPIQC-3".
Likewise with sizes 4 and 5 (SPIQC-4 and SPIQC-5).

Units built to the international standards (DIN, ISO & NFE) are commonly considered interchangeable with
ANSI (Caterpillar) shanks. However, there are a few differences.

NMTB tool holder compatibility with Erickson Quick-Change Spindles:
The NMTB shank was developed for use in the NMTB spindle which uses a draw bar to pull the shank up into the spindle. As a result, small variations in the tool holder flange thickness and the distance from the gage line of the taper to the outward face of the flange were not an issue when selecting one manufacturer of tool holder versus another.
The Erickson Tool Company developed the Erickson Quick-Change spindle to use the NMTB 30, 40, 45 and 50 tool holders already in existence. The Erickson QC system does not use a draw bar, it uses a quarter turn "locknut" to push and hold the tool holder taper up into the spindle. Two "lips" in the nut push against the outer face of the tool holder flange. The key dimension that causes some NMTB holders to not work in an Erickson Quick-Change spindle is the distance between the taper gage line and the outer face of the flange (dimension L4 + L5 in above tables). L4+L5 on some NMTB holders is too large which does not allow the "lips" in the QC nut to engage the outside face of the flange.
All NMTB holders made by Erickson work fine and I've read that Collis and Valenite holders work fine (at least the ones made in the last 15 years or so). I've also heard that Kennametal NMTB 30 holders work well. The compatibility of other holders is in question. However, all is not lost, the flange face of the holders that do not fit can be turned or ground down a small amount and then they work just fine. Erickson even put out a procedure to do this very thing (does anyone have a copy of the Erickson procedure ?).

R8 Shank
|
Also referred to as M1TR taper. This shank is held in place by a drawbar.
|
|

[Back to Top of page]
Morse Taper Shank
|
Generally referred to as MTx (ie MT3 for a #3 Morse Taper).
The taper range is from #0 to #7, and while all have different tapers, they are approximately 5/8" per foot.
With a tang it is the same as DIN 228 Form B.

D1 (gage line dia. of shank) is the diameter of the mouth of the MT socket. |
|
(2) |
D2 is the diameter of the bottom of the socket at depth L2 from the mouth (D1). |
|
(3) |
L2 is the length (depth) of the Socket Taper. |
|
(4) |
D1 and Taper of Stub (short) MT shank is same as standard length MT shank.
(Stub shanks fit in standard length sockets, but the tang will not be engaged in the tang slot of the socket) |

HSK Shank (hollow taper shank system)
|
I've seen numerous references to standards for the HSK shank including:
ISO 12164, DIN 69893, DIN 29893-1 and DIN 69063-1.
HSK-A is designed for use with Automatic Tool Changers and have tool orientation features on the flange
The taper on all HSK shanks is 10:1.

KM Shank
|
KM tooling is designed around a short 10:1 tapered shank. The taper is self centering to promote easy tool loading and unloading in both manual and
automatic applications. KM tooling is designed to have simultaneous taper and face contact. The KM clamping mechanism fits inside the taper shank of the KM unit and
utilizes two angled holes, called ball tracks, machined through the shank. The locking balls are forced radially outward by a wedge-shaped piece called the lock rod.

Beaver Quick Change Shank
|
The only information I have on the Beaver Quick Change Shank is taken from units I have in hand.
I have no idea if there is a "standard" that defines the shank or if its a Beaver Tool proprietary shank.
The following dimensions are average caliper measurements, so use them accordingly.
|
|
|
Flange thickness ranged from 0.35" to 0.5"
on the 5 units I measured.
Key-slot depth is approximately 0.2".
The dimples are approximately 0.4" deep,
3/8" dia throat and 0.6" dia. mouth.
