Frequently asked questions
What is the FL 500 - D15 chuck flange used for?
It is a flange for mounting a chuck on metal lathes, with a diameter of Ø 500 mm and a D15 mounting.
It allows for secure attachment of the chuck to the lathe spindle nose according to FL standards (DIN 55029 external flange mounting). The Ø 500 mm diameter corresponds to the nominal diameter of the compatible chuck.
What is the difference between FL and FLD series?
FL (Ø flanges) has an external mounting according to DIN 55029. FLD has a central drawbar mounting according to DIN 55027 (quicker to dismantle).
This model is FL: for maximum compatibility with the lathe, check the standard of the spindle nose. Most professional Bernardo metal lathes use the FL mounting.
What does D15 mounting indicate?
The D15 (Camlock) code indicates the quick-release system: the number (e.g. D3, D4, D5, D6, D8, D11, D15) identifies the standard mounting size.
For correct compatibility, check your lathe's mounting: D3-D5 for small/medium lathes, D6-D8 for medium-large lathes, D11-D15 for heavy industrial lathes.
Is it an original Bernardo spare part?
Yes, Krollit has been an official Bernardo distributor since 2007 and supplies exclusively original flanges for Bernardo and compatible DIN lathes.
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 dismounting the existing chuck, thoroughly cleaning the lathe spindle 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 point (usually a notch or line); do not force with tools. Krollit provides technical documentation and telephone support for mounting.
