Northfield Precision Instrument manufactures ultra-precision balance chucks. According to the company, its chucks weigh less than half of other comparable chucks on the market.

Northfield provides manufacturing companies with accurate workholding solutions, and the company is now introducing its Balancing Chucks. According to the company, the Balancing Chucks feature the highest accuracy and rpm, the shortest hung mass and the fastest and most accurate change over.

Northfield claims it designs and manufactures the world’s most accurate air chucks for any lathe, boring machine, grinder or vertical machining center (VMC). Models include through-hole, highspeed and quick-change, and the  chucks are available in SAE or metric in sizes from 3″ (76 mm) to 18″ (457 mm). Accuracies of 0.001″ to 0.00001″ (0.254 m) are reportedly guaranteed. Custom workholding chucks and jaws are available and free engineering assistance is offered.
