FOREWORD

This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Machine Tool Elements and Holding Devices Sectional Committee had been approved by the Production
Engineering Division Council.
This standard was first issued in 1964 for which assistance was derived from DIN 6336 - 1968 ‘Star grips’ issued
by Deutsches Institut fir Normung (DIN). The present revision has been brought out to bring the standard in
line with the current manufacturing practices. Following are some of the modifications made in this revision:

a) The title of the standard has been changed from ‘Dimensions for star grips’ to ‘Star grips - Specification’.

b) The requirement pertaining to manufacture has been included.

c) Surface finish symbols have been indicated as per latest practice.

This standard is one of a series of Indian Standards on control elements used on machine tools. This standard
has been primarily undertaken to prevent unnecessary large variety of shapes and dimensions of these elements
being used in the Indian Industry to obtain interchangeability of these elements.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final
value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2
1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)‘. The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
