Product description
BT30 BT40 BT50 SLN Weldon socket
The BT SLN Weldon milling holder in the MAS 403 / JIS B 6339 standard is intended for mounting shank end mills and other cutting tools with a cylindrical shank. The design of the holder ensures greater mounting stiffness than in the case of classic collets, which translates into more stable operation during machining.
The clamping system is easy to use and allows quick clamping and disassembly of the tool. Thanks to the secure mounting, the cutter does not rotate in the holder during heavier machining, which may occur when mounting in collets.
The holder is particularly suitable for milling requiring greater stiffness, stability and safe transmission of torque.

BBT40 – BT40 with flange face contact (BIG-PLUS)
Variants whose code starts with BBT40- have a BBT40 taper. This is a BT40 taper to JIS B 6339 (MAS 403) with a flange face that contacts the spindle face in a BIG-PLUS spindle. The holder is then seated on the taper and on the flange face at the same time (taper and face contact). This gives a stiffer and more stable seating, especially at high spindle speeds, a repeatable position after every automatic tool change, higher machining accuracy and a better surface finish.
In a standard BT40 spindle (without BIG-PLUS) a BBT40 holder works like a standard BT40 holder: it is seated on the taper only. For such a spindle the lower-priced variant with the code BT40- in the same size is sufficient, if it is on the list.
Before purchasing, check in the machine documentation whether the spindle has the BIG-PLUS system (BBT40). The pull stud is selected in the same way as for BT40 (M16 thread), according to the spindle requirements.
| Taper | BBT40: BT40 with flange face contact (JIS B 6339), for BIG-PLUS spindles; works like BT40 in a standard BT40 spindle |
| Tool shank type | Weldon (side-lock) |
| Bore diameter | 6–40 mm (depending on variant) |
| Clamping screws | 1 screw (Ø6–20 mm) or 2 screws (Ø25–40 mm) |
| Length L | 63 mm (Ø6 and Ø8: 50 mm; Ø25: 90 mm; Ø32: 100 mm; Ø40: 120 mm) |
| Holder runout | ≤ 0.005 mm |
| Balance grade | at least G6.3 (many pieces are balanced to G2.5 at 25,000 rpm: ask us and we will check the label of the specific piece) |
| Coolant | AD version (central coolant supply) |
| Material | case-hardened alloy steel (case depth 0.8 ± 0.2 mm) |
| Hardness | HRC 56–60 |
| BBT40 taper | taper tolerance < AT3, surface roughness Ra < 0.2 µm |
| Pull stud thread | M16 (as BT40) |

BBT40 balance grade: at least G6.3. Many BBT40 holders of this type are balanced to G2.5 at 25,000 rpm (more precise). If you need G2.5 for high spindle speeds, write to us before purchasing — we will check the label of the specific piece before shipping.

d – bore diameter (tool shank), D – body diameter, L – length from the flange face (spindle side) to the holder front face, M – clamping screw thread.
Check the full designation of the selected variant. Example: BBT40-SLN12-L63 is a BBT40 taper, a Weldon bore Ø12 mm and length L = 63 mm.
BBT40 – questions
What is the difference between BBT40 and BT40?
BBT40 has the same taper as BT40, but in a BIG-PLUS spindle it also contacts the spindle with the flange face. This taper and face contact makes the seating of the holder stiffer. A standard BT40 holder is seated on the taper only.
Does BBT40 fit a standard BT40 spindle?
Yes. In a standard BT40 spindle a BBT40 holder works like a standard BT40 holder (contact on the taper only). The benefit of the face contact is available only in a BIG-PLUS spindle.
How do I tell a BBT40 variant from a BT40 variant?
By the code: BBT40 variants start with BBT40- (e.g. BBT40-SLN12-L63), standard BT40 variants with BT40- (e.g. BT40-SLN12-L63).
Select a pull stud
For a BT holder compare BT pull studs in the appropriate size.
Confirm the selection against the spindle requirements: head profile and angle, thread, length, bore and seal.
