Expanding mandrels support workpieces from the inside diameter and are used when bore location or internal clamping is required. TOP-TOOL lists internal expanding workholding options for RFQ review based on bore size, contact area, part geometry and machine setup.
How to Select Expanding Mandrels
Confirm bore diameter, bore depth, through-hole or blind-hole condition, workpiece material, wall thickness, machining load, locating face and required clamping direction.
Typical Applications
- Bore-referenced machining
- Sleeve and ring part holding
- Shaft, bushing and tube workholding
- Internal clamping where outside surfaces must remain accessible
- Inspection or finishing setups using internal support
