COLLET ASSEMBLY FOR CYLINDRICAL WORKPIECES A clamping device for holding cylindrical workpieces having a nominal radius R which varies from a minimum of (R-A) to a maximum of (R+B), where A and B are the limits of the tolerance range for the nominal radius, includes opposed clamp halves each having a clamp face adapted to be moved toward and away from one another and each of the clamp halves carrying a rigid collet element adapted to engage on opposite sides of cylindrical workpieces when the clamp halves are moved toward one another. Each of the collet elements has a semicylindrical clamping surface extending inwardly from the clamp face of the respective clamp half. Each semicylindrical clamping surface has a radius substantially equal to (R+B) with the center of the radius being offset outwardly of the clamp face of the respective clamp half an amount at least equal to (A+B). Preferably, the center of the radius is offset an amount at least equal to (A+B+C), where C is the tolerance deviation permitted to the radius (R+B). Additionally, each clamping surface is comprised of individual surface portions mounted for independent flexing movement to allow the collet to further compensate for workpiece tolerance variations.
