The Lyndex 05005-0875 is a CAT 50 tension and compression tapping head designed for use with machining centers. This tool holder features a CAT50 taper size and is compatible with Bilz #2 standard style tap collets, facilitating quick and easy interchangeability. It is engineered with a modular connection and utilizes retention balls and drive keys to provide high positioning accuracy and a strong gripping force, which reduces the possibility of tap slippage. The unit is constructed from steel and includes a sealed internal mechanism that allows high-pressure center-through coolant to flow up to a maximum pressure of 750 PSI without contaminating internal components. The chambered design is specifically intended to prevent the backflow of coolant into the spindle. Key specifications include a #2 adapter size, a minimum tap capacity of 5/16 inch, a maximum tap capacity of 7/8 inch, and a maximum pipe tap capacity of 1/2 inch. Depending on the specific variant within the series, projection lengths typically range from 3.86 inches to 5.40 inches, with a sleeve diameter of approximately 2.09 inches. This tapping head is suitable for fast tapping on synchronous cycles in various metalworking applications.
