About Pentagon SEMI UNIVERSAL Dividing or Indexing Head Set model PBS0
Pentagon SEMI UNIVERSAL Dividing or Indexing Head Set model BS0 with 5" Chuck is a precision tool used for dividing and indexing circles, holes, and shapes accurately. The set includes a BS0 dividing head, a 5" three-jaw chuck, a tailstock, dividing plates, and other standard accessories.
The BS0 dividing head is semi-universal, meaning it can be tilted from horizontal to vertical angles and clamped securely at any angle between. This feature enables the user to perform complex milling, drilling, and other operations with maximum precision and accuracy. The head comes with an indexing plate that has 24 holes, allowing for division into 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 equal parts.
The 5" three-jaw chuck is designed to hold workpieces securely and accurately. Its three jaws grip the workpiece evenly, ensuring that it remains firm and centered during operation. The chuck can be adjusted to grip different sizes of workpieces, making it versatile and ideal for workshops that handle various sizes of materials.
The tailstock is used to support the workpiece when it extends beyond the chuck. It is adjustable for length and height, allowing for different workpiece sizes and configurations. The tailstock also has a center drill and live center, making it possible to machine workpieces with precision and accuracy.
The dividing plates are used to divide circles, holes, and shapes into equal parts. They come in different sizes and divisions, enabling the user to divide workpieces accurately and efficiently. The standard accessories include a crank handle, a set of change gears, and a set of tailstock centers, which are essential tools used in dividing and indexing.
In conclusion, the Pentagon SEMI UNIVERSAL Dividing or Indexing Head Set model BS0 with 5" Chuck, Tailstock, Dividing Plates, and other standard accessories is an essential tool for any workshop that deals with precision machining. Its versatility, accuracy, and ease of use make it ideal for various applications, including milling, drilling, and turning.

FAQs of Pentagon SEMI UNIVERSAL Dividing or Indexing Head Set model PBS0:
Q: How does the worm gear ratio of 40:1 benefit gear cutting operations on the Pentagon PBS0 indexing head?
A: The 40:1 worm gear ratio means every full turn of the handwheel rotates the spindle by 1/40th of a turn, enabling highly precise angular positioning. This fine adjustment is particularly advantageous in gear cutting and other applications requiring accuracy in indexing.Q: What size chucks are compatible with the Pentagon PBS0 dividing head?
A: The PBS0 is suitable for chucks sized between 100 mm and 125 mm, providing flexibility for various workpiece dimensions common in precision machining and milling tasks.Q: When should the index plates supplied with the PBS0 be used?
A: The three supplied index plates are used during dividing and indexing operations. They enable the machinist to divide a workpiece into precise increments, essential for tasks such as milling gears, slots, or splines at exact intervals.Q: Where can the Pentagon PBS0 indexing head be used?
A: This tool is widely applicable in manufacturing units, precision engineering workshops, milling and slotting operations, and educational institutions specializing in mechanical engineering and machining, particularly across India.Q: What are the benefits of the precision ground and coated finish on the PBS0?
A: The precision ground and coated finish enhances the tools wear resistance and ensures smooth operation over time. This results in prolonged service life and helps maintain high accuracy in machining tasks.Q: How is the dividing head operated and controlled?
A: The Pentagon PBS0 is manually operated using a handwheel, allowing the user to control spindle positioning and indexing. This hand-operated system offers tactile feedback and ensures controlled, accurate movements without the complexity of computerized controls.
