COLLET HAVING WIDE CONNECTION AREA AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A collet having a wide connection area is provided to obtain a complete contact in a structure on connecting female and male connectors by machining slits in the collet and re-machining the inner diameter of the collet in a circular shape by a clamp interval. CONSTITUTION: A collet has a hollow sleeve shape. Plural slits are formed in longitudinal direction to penetrate a peripheral surface of the sleeve and then to meet the hollow portion. The collet is composed of separated segments(1) to form the slits. Each internal diameter of the separated segments(1) is the same as the diameter of a male connector(3) inserted into the hollow portion of the sleeve. The internal diameter of each of the segments(1) has a structure that the internal peripheral surfaces of the segments(1) completely contacted with a peripheral surface of the male connector(3).
