    Abstract: A device for clamping and unclamping tools in a collet comprises a tool holder, a collet and a movable tensioner. The tool holder has a machine side and a tool side that is configured to accommodate a tool shank of a tool. The collet is arranged for clamping the tool shank inside the collet, the collet having a conical outer surface, which rests against a correspondingly shaped inner surface of the tool holder. The tensioner is configured to effect an axial movement of the collet with respect to the tool holder when the tool holder is thermally expanded, for clamping and unclamping the collet with the tool shank therein. The tensioner is arranged inside the tool holder on the machine side of the collet. A method is used to clamp tools in a collet of a tool holder.
