Frequently asked questions
What is the FLD 500 - D15 spindle flange used for?
It is a flange for mounting the chuck on metal lathes, with a diameter of Ø 500 mm and a D15 taper mount.
It allows the chuck to be securely fastened to the lathe spindle nose according to FLD standards (DIN 55027 central drawbar mount). The Ø 500 mm diameter corresponds to the nominal diameter of the compatible chuck.
What is the difference between FL and FLD series?
The FL (Ø flange) has an external mount according to DIN 55029. The FLD has a central drawbar mount according to DIN 55027 (quicker to disassemble).
This model is FLD: for maximum compatibility with the lathe, check the chuck nose standard. Most professional Bernardo metal lathes use the FLD attachment.
What does the D15 taper mount indicate?
The D15 (Camlock) code indicates the quick-release system: the number (e.g., D3, D4, D5, D6, D8, D11, D15) identifies the standard mount size.
For correct compatibility, check the taper mount of your lathe: D3-D5 for small/medium lathes, D6-D8 for medium-large lathes, D11-D15 for heavy industrial lathes.
Is this an original Bernardo spare part?
Yes, Krollit has been an official Bernardo distributor since 2007 and exclusively supplies original flanges for Bernardo lathes and DIN compatible ones.
Original flanges comply with the machining tolerances required by the DIN standard to ensure concentricity and balance of the chuck. Do not use non-original flanges for precision machining.
How is the flange mounted on the lathe?
Mounting requires disassembling the existing chuck, thoroughly cleaning the lathe nose, applying a light coat of oil, and tightening with the torque indicated in the manual.
For lathes with a Camlock system (DLD), the cams should be closed by hand until the reference mark (usually a notch or line); do not force with tools. Krollit provides technical documentation and telephone support for mounting.
