The invention relates to the technical field of pipe clamps, in particular to a claw-free chuck for clamping pipes. A through hole accepting penetration of the pipes is formed in the middle of a main plate, and the main plate is provided with a claw-free clamp capable of clamping the pipes and enabling the pipes to slide in the through hole in the axial direction of the center of the main plate. According to the claw-free chuck for clamping the pipes, claws and clamping bases pushing the claws are eliminated, and therefore the thickness of the claw-free chuck for clamping the pipes is reduced, the self weight of the chuck is lowered, and feeding waste of the pipes is reduced; because the claws are eliminated, the problem that claw handles extend out of the maximum diameter part of the chuck (namely the main plate) is avoided, the installation space of the chuck is greatly reduced, the manufacturing cost of the chuck is greatly reduced, and the stability is high; pipe loads are retained by screw rods firstly, worm motors just need to bear small retaining force, and gearboxes of the worm motors are protected against damage caused by overload due to the two-stage retaining function. In addition, the claw-free chuck is simple in structure, small in size and light in self weight and has full stroke.
