Servicing an Albrecht chuck in a very non-Lipton type fashion.

Nice video… I use copper strips to protect the body parts when unscrewing them….they can be extremely tight, especially if they’ve not been done since original assembly. The bearings should be that if they are all touching, another one would not fit in the remaining gap. They are all the same size, not as mentioned by someone earlier. The only lubrication required is on the bearings…I use a light waterproof grease. No other parts need lubricating, as it-will just act as a magnet to dust and chips, it will also prevent proper operation of the chuck… With frequent use, coolant can obviously enter into the internal parts of the chuck, this is why they should be disassembled and cleaned at regular intervals..

Albrecht = High quality German engineering and machining. A top shelf chuck. Really good video Stan. Simple to the point.

The last video I watched before I left for holidays was this one and I totally forgot about it. On holidays I went to a flea market and bought a Röhm and an Albrech chuck. I came back to this browser window still open. Now I'm watching it again :D

Very fussy doing it the first time, but once you get it apart it all makes sense. Totally agree on the fit and finish- such beautiful parts.

No missing bearing ball, that's the way they are... Had to "Unglue" mine from dried flood coolant, nothing would do it except a propane torch to soften the dried cake inside the slipping parts of the chuck. Works like a new one until next maintenance is required... Great chucks in deed.. ;)

Glad to see all is well. Just for reference, when I take one of these apart, I hold the smooth part of the chuck in my 3 jaw chuck on the lathe and use a strap wrench on the knurled part. It comes apart very easy that way. Just make sure the 3 jaw chuck jaws are grabbing the smooth part of the chuck and not the split collar. Good video.

The 'Missing' ball allows the bearings to turn without grinding against each other. I guarantee if you look closely in all bearing cups there is a space that is 1 to 1/2 the diameter of the bearing.

Thanks so much, I have a chuck that wont hold either. I really appreciate you spelling it out. I don't want to go at it with a bear pair of channel lock's but I'd rather not make a custom tool to disassemble either. Being a hobbyist, I don't have the luxury of apprenticeship, and all of the little details that matter. Like how to rough up the backs of the jaws - but not too much.

Thanks for making the video. I have an Albrecht chuck with an integral R8 shank that I managed to use to chuck and drill with a large Silver & Demming drill. Drill got caught in the work, chuck cranked down on the drill shank and got so tight I had to resort to Channelock pliers to get the chuck loose. Now the chuck has about .020” runout in it. So I still have the chuck but it’s in the junk pile. Your video should help me take it apart to figure out what is screwed up about it and maybe repair or at least keep it for spare parts. Needless to say, I don’t use my new Albrecht chuck with my large S&D twist drills any more.

@drubradley88216 жыл бұрын
I used to service the various chucks at a part time job I had... The balls may have two different sizes, typically only (0.0010") difference is size... every other ball is the larger diameter from the in between the smaller diameter balls... The larger diameter balls balls are the load bearing balls, and the smaller diameter balls are merely just to space the larger balls from touching one another and spalling from the counter rotation of two load bearing balls contact points... I do not know of your chuck, but worth checking the next time, you have it open... sometimes, the balls are color coded, shinny hard chrome look to a darker, but still very shinny chromed look, to allow a visual indicator of the stagger of load bearing balls to spacers balls..

Nice repair! I've watched Tom's disassembly vid some time back, but this was a great refresher. My Albrecht style seems to slip (on a tap) while attempting to tap with the mill; is this common or does it need the disassembly/cleaning tune-up?
@ShadonHKW6 жыл бұрын
These really rely on the friction between the drum and jaws to create the "cam" effect, heavy lube will reduce this effect.

Stan did a video some years ago, in which he re-ground the spindle in his mill using a rather simple technique. The run-out was much better after that if i remember. I would like to see what the chuck tir is too.

Look for [ bead tweezers ]; they have a little pocket in the tips to keep the balls from squeezing out. Excellent for manipulating small balls (or beads). Sometimes called pearl tweezers.
@kendog45706 жыл бұрын
No lube on the threads , only on the balls and a slight bit on the inside of the hood. If the threads on the body and spindle are really worn or trashed the parts should be replaced. If they are shiny but not worn they should be lapped with medium valve grind paste in both push and pull directions, all paste fully removed, and the parts assembled and run dry. There should be no grease on the spindle or back surface of the jaw guide. Lube on there will give the jaws a spongy feel.

kendog4570 if there is water based coolant being used wouldn't an extremely light oil provide some protection?
@kendog45706 жыл бұрын
I dont know. I got my info from Ed Schmidt at Albrecht Inc in New York in the early 1990's, via Guy Lataurd. The lapping is supposed to be part of the deluxe refurbish service. I have done it to several with good results. They might be able to give info on the effect of water based coolants on their chucks.

@duobob6 жыл бұрын
This set of Albrecht repair instructions is even better than those by Albrecht: www.machinistblog.com/rebuilding-an-albrecht-drill-chuck/ Yes, one ball is missing. Too much oil in there. The bearings, yes, grease. The coarse square threaded spindle and the nut it screws into should be dead dry. The hood can have a couple drops of oil spread over the entire surface. A drop or two of oil on the hood threads. That's it, to do it correctly. Stan, yours will likely work fine. If not, redo the lube.

Good save. Here's a test: clamp a smooth HSS tool shank in the vise, then tighten the Albrecht down onto it with both hands. Then, see if you can spin the chuck on the shank with the same hands. If you can, jaws are worn; should be rebuilt.
