The discussion revolves around the working principle of keyless drill chucks, specifically focusing on how they achieve locking torque comparable to keyed chucks. Participants explore the mechanics and design differences between these two types of chucks, including the implications of thread design and torque application.
Participants express differing views on the torque requirements and mechanical advantages of keyless versus keyed chucks, indicating that the discussion remains unresolved with multiple competing perspectives.
The discussion includes assumptions about the design and mechanics of both types of chucks, as well as the implications of thread design on torque application, which may not be fully explored or agreed upon.
Please, please always include links to what you want to discuss! Which keyless drill chuck? Like the one on my cordless drill? Or do you have some different one in mind? Which inventor?abdulbadii said:TL;DR Summary: How is the keyless drill chuck can have locking torque great enough
How is the working principle of keyless drill chuck, the inventor confidently estimated that it'd have locking torque great enough as the same as to the keyed one just by turning around, fastening to motor spindle/connector?
Baluncore said:The keyless chuck has a finer thread than a keyed chuck.
To lock onto the drill shank, the keyless chuck requires less torque, but more turns.
No. A bigger outer diameter will reduce the grip needed to apply the same torque. The key provides a leverage advantage that permits the keyed chuck to be smaller.berkeman said:So it takes about the same torque to lock each, no?
