- Smaller (approx. 30 %) and lighter (approx. 50 %) than the steep taper
- Easier and faster tool change as a result
- High stiffness due to support on the tool holder via the collar
- Transfer of torque
- Frictionally via the taper and contact surface
- Positive-locking via the driver grooves
- Jerking loads and large torque can be transferred via positive lock by drivers.
- Exceptional changeover precision (3 μm), since
- Axial positioning precision is given by the planar contact on the collar
- Concentricity deviations are minimized by the tight taper tolerance
- Suitable for high speeds, since problems resulting from expansion of the spindle, as are present with the steep taper, do not occur; 2 reasons:
- The hollow shank taper expands at the same or greater dimension as the spindle due to centrifugal force (produces a clamping force increase)
- The planar contact prevents slipping in the axial direction.
