Who is the Machine Hydraulic Vice PHV 160 for?
The PHV 160 machine hydraulic vice is recommended for the following professional profiles:
-
Mechanical workshops and millers: secure clamping of workpieces during milling and drilling on machine tools.
-
Production departments with series production: fast and repeatable clamping for production cycles.
Not suitable for: turning cylindrical workpieces (lathes require self-centering chucks, not milling vices).

Frequently asked questions
What does the PHV's rotary table do?
The PHV 160 mm has a 360° swivel base with a graduated scale, allowing machining at any horizontal angle without repositioning the workpiece.
The PHV is a high-pressure precision vice, suitable for series production on universal milling machines. Precise rotation allows for repeatable angular milling.
What does the 160 mm dimension indicate?
It indicates the jaw width (160 mm), the characteristic dimension of the vice. The clamping width (maximum opening) varies depending on the model: typically 50-105 mm for PS/KV, 105-240 mm for VH/CHV.
To choose the size: as a rule of thumb, the jaw width should be at least 70% of the size of the workpiece. For workpieces >100 mm, choose 160 mm vices or larger.
Which machine does it mount on?
It mounts on universal milling machines, bench milling machines, and machining centers with standard DIN T-slot tables.
Check the vice's weight against the table's capacity. Bernardo vices {series or "PS/KV"} are sized for professional milling machines; for small bench milling machines, lighter models are needed (PTS 50, PGS 50).
Are the jaws replaceable?
Yes, the jaws are hardened, ground, and fully replaceable. This is an important advantage for long-term maintenance.
The jaws are the wear point of the vice: after thousands of clamps, they may show indentations or deformations. Replacement is autonomous with dedicated fixing screws. Krollit supplies original replacement jaws.
How is precision maintained?
Regular cleaning of guides and jaws, application of a light layer of oil on sliding parts every 50 hours of use, periodic parallelism check with a dial indicator.
Chips accumulated in the guides compromise parallelism precision. For intensive use with coolant, dry the vice at the end of the shift to prevent rust on ground parts. Acceptable parallelism tolerance: 0.02-0.05 mm over the length.
