Abstract:
A clamping device includes a first clamping segment which has a first mounting flange and a tubular member extending axially away therefrom. A first bore extends through the first mounting flange and the tubular member. The first mounting flange is configured for attachment to a rotatable spindle of a machine tool. The clamping device includes a draw bar assembly which has an axially extending elongate shaft. The elongate shaft extends through the first bore of the first clamping segment. A biasing unit is mounted on or in the tubular member. A locking member is removably secured to the elongate shaft such that the biasing unit is compressed between the locking member and a portion of the first clamping segment. The biasing member remains compressed when the first clamping segment is separated from the spindle of the machine tool.
Abstract:
A chuck device includes: a cylindrical chuck including a first contact part on a first side and a second contact part on a second side, and configured to hold a bar-like workpiece; a tubular outer cylinder including a restriction part configured to restrict axial movement of the chuck by abutting on the first contact part; and a sleeve provided in an axially movable manner on the inner peripheral side of the outer cylinder, and including, on the first side, a pressing part axially driven to abut on the second contact part. The chuck includes a first tapered face in the first contact part, and a second tapered face in the second contact part. A first angle between the first tapered face and a center axis is equivalent to a second angle between the first tapered face and the center axis, or is smaller than the second angle.
Abstract:
A collet for holding a lens includes a shank and at least two gripping jaws separated from one another by radial slots, wherein a shape of an upper edge region of the gripping jaws is designed as a radial continuation of a region to be processed of the lens that is to be held by the collet.
Abstract:
A clamping means in the type of an outer clamping means or an inner clamping means for fixed-clamping of work pieces, for the purpose of rotative processing. For achieving a radial displaceability of the clamping segments thereof, an inclined guide surface of a clamping sleeve or of a clamping mandrel with correspondingly inclined slide surfaces on the clamping segments are used. For the application of force into the clamping segments, at least one coupling element is provided on the housing or on the actuation member. The clamping element is axially fixed to the housing or to the actuation member and engages with at least one clamping segment axially in a form-fit manner in a coupling region between an in axial direction distal guide surface region of the guide surface and an in axial direction proximal guide surface region of the guide surface.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a collet (1) for holding a lens (2), comprising a shank (3) and at least two gripping jaws (4) separated from one another by radial slots (5), wherein a shape of an upper edge region (6) of the gripping jaws (4) is designed as a radial continuation of a region (7) to be processed of the lens (2) that is to be held by the collet (1).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a tool holder comprising a tool receptacle for frictionally clamping a tool shaft. A sleeve is arranged between the tool shaft and the clamping surface of the tool holder, said tool holder applying pressure to the tool shaft via the sleeve, producing the friction fit. At least one of the bearing surfaces of the sleeve is interrupted by open surfaces that are designed and arranged such that they form the damping cavities.
Abstract:
It is an object of the invention to provide a constituent member of a collet chuck, a collet and a fastening nut as well as a collet chuck capable of reinforcing a holding force of a tool. As means therefor, in a collet chuck including a chuck body having a taper hole in an inwardly converging shape, a diameter contractable collet having a first taper face fitted to the taper hole, and a fastening nut screwed to the chuck body, there is provided a force increasing collet with a first contact face and a second contact face respectively brought into contact with a second taper face formed at an outer peripheral face of a front end portion of the collet and inclined to reduce an outer diameter as proceeding to a front end thereof, and a third taper face formed at an inner peripheral face of a front end portion of the fastening nut and inclined to reduce an inner diameter as proceeding to a front end thereof, wherein in a state of fastening the fastening nut to the chuck body, a front side of the first contact face of the force increasing collet is not brought into contact with an outer peripheral face of the collet in a state of pressing the collet frontwardly.
Abstract:
A collet and lock nut assembly includes a collet for receiving a cutting tool shank and a lock nut for creating a gripping force between the collet and the shank. The collet has a nose portion and a body portion separated by an annular groove. The lock nut has a plurality of retention tabs and a corresponding number of clear portions. The collet and lock nut assembly can be easily assembled by inserting at least one retention tab within the groove of the collet, and then applying pressure to the collet such that the remaining retention tabs of the lock nut are received within the groove of the collet to place the assembly in a locked position. The collet and cutting tool shank can be drawn from the tool holder by applying rotational torque to the lock nut. The collet is easily removed from the lock nut by applying pressure in any circumferential, lateral direction against the collet.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a clamping device arranged on a machine tool and used for a hollow shaft (2) provided with slanted clamping inclinations extending inside a receiving element for said hollow shaft (2), comprising clamping claws (6) which are mounted in the working spindle (5) of the machine tool, which can be actuated by means of a clamping head (3) which is guided in the working spindle (5) and which is axially displaceable therein and on which clamping inclinations (7), which have correspondingly slanted inclined surfaces (13) used for clamping purposes, come to rest. The clamping device (1) comprises a retaining rod which is associated with the working spindle (5) and on which retaining tongues (9), extending parallel to said clamping claws (6) and which are elastic in a radial direction, are configured and are provided with retaining surfaces which are correspondingly inclined in relation to the clamping inclinations (7), said retaining surfaces being adjacent to the clamping inclinations (7) of the hollow shaft (5) placed on the machine tool. Each of the retaining tongues (9), when seen from the working spindle (5), has a centering surface (11), which comes to rest on the free end of the hollow shaft (2), located in an axially upstream position from the retaining surface (10) on a radially outer surface.
