Frequently asked questions
What is the purpose of the FLD 500 - D8 spindle flange?
It is a flange for mounting a chuck on metal lathes, with a diameter of Ø 500 mm and a D8 taper.
It allows secure fastening of the chuck to the lathe spindle nose according to FLD standards (DIN 55027 draw bar taper). 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 flanges) has an external taper according to DIN 55029. The FLD has a draw bar taper according to DIN 55027 (quicker to disassemble).
This model is FLD: for maximum compatibility with the lathe, check the standard of the spindle nose. Most professional Bernardo metal lathes use the FLD attachment.
What does the D8 taper indicate?
The D8 (Camlock) code indicates the quick-locking system: the number (e.g., D3, D4, D5, D6, D8, D11, D15) identifies the standard size of the taper.
For correct compatibility, check the taper of your lathe: 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 lathes and compatible DIN standards.
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 spindle nose, applying a light layer of oil, and fastening with the tightening 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.
