The standard series are: ER-8, ER-11, ER-16, ER-20, ER-25, ER-32, ER-40, and ER-50. The "ER" name came from an existing "E" collet (which were a letter series of names) which Rego-Fix modified and appended "R" for "Rego-Fix". The series number is the opening diameter of the tapered receptacle, in millimetres.

The easiest way to determine what type of collet your machine has is to measure the length and diameter of the collet. All collets have a distinctive length and diameter.

ER32 series collets have a capacity of 1mm-20mm. Each ER32 collet has a range of (1 mm). The size indicated on the collet is the largest size it can hold and can be collapsed smaller within its collapse range of (0.9mm). For example, ER32-6mm can grab a round shank from 6mm diameter to 5.1mm diameter.
