Straight Shank Tap Holders
Tension/Compression or Rigid Tapping
Synchronous (Rigid):
Modern machine tools have the capability of synchronizing the spindle rotation and spindle feed. This has made it possible to eliminate the spring compression and tension stroke utilized in traditional tapping heads. The advantage that this brings to threading is the speed by which the cycle can operate.
Tension/Compression:
Tension and compression holders have been the mainstay of machine tool tapping for many years.
