Bare Fiber Chucks

   The BFC series of bare fiber chucks are compatible with fibers from 80 µm to 1 mm diameters.  When used with our BFT series fiber translators these fiber chucks are a flexible means to hold fibers precisely without damage.  The precision diameter of the BFC fiber chucks enable a smooth slip fit into our fiber translators.

   The BFC250 and BFC300 use a tapered jaw design to securely hold fibers in place without damage.  Our BFC250 uses a solid brass four-jaw design that holds the fiber in place with the simple twist of the knurled end cap.  The BFC300 uses a Delrin® two-jaw design that is also clamped by the twist of the end cap.

   The BFC80 is made from solid brass and uses a leaf spring to secure the fiber along the entire length of the 0.010-inch slot that runs parallel to the diameter of the BFC80.  The clamping action of the BFC80 occurs when it is slid into one of the BFT series of fiber translators.

   All models are threaded on the end to accept the BFC-SR stain relief.  This simple stain relief uses a Delrin® two-jaw design that is clamped by the twist of the knurled end cap.
