Drawbar Force Gage Spindle Force Test Gauge for All CAT40 or Bt40 CNC Machines

Drawbar Force Gage for CAT40 and BT40 CNC Machines

This drawbar force gage measures spindle clamping force on CAT40 or BT40 CNC machines, letting you verify retention force before it causes tool slip or poor finishes.

Overview

This drawbar force gage is a spindle force test gauge made to check the clamping force your CNC spindle applies to the tool holder. It reads retention force directly at the spindle so you can catch weak belleville springs, worn drawbars, or air pressure issues early. It suits machine shops, maintenance techs, and anyone running CAT40 or BT40 spindles who wants a simple way to confirm spindle force on a routine schedule.

Built For Performance

• Measures spindle clamping and drawbar retention force for CAT40 and BT40 tool holders
• Direct spindle interface reads force at the taper contact point
• Suited to routine drawbar and belleville spring checks
• Clear gauge dial shows force value at a glance
• Compact design stores easily in a tool crib or maintenance cabinet

Fits These Machines

• for CAT40 CNC machining centers
• for BT40 CNC machining centers
• for CAT40 vertical machining centers
• for BT40 vertical machining centers

On-The-Job Use

• Routine drawbar force checks during preventive maintenance
• Diagnosing tool pullout or chatter traced to weak clamping force
• Verifying spindle force after drawbar or belleville spring service
• Shop floor checks on CAT40 and BT40 machines before critical jobs

Good To Know

Q: How often should I check drawbar force? A: Many shops check it on a scheduled maintenance interval or after any tool pullout event. Regular checks help catch weak clamping force before it affects part quality.

Q: Does this gage fit both CAT40 and BT40 spindles? A: It is made to work with both CAT40 and BT40 machines as stated in the listing. Confirm your spindle taper before ordering.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
