Abstract: Expansion sleeves are disclosed comprising a body and a flange. The body may be generally cylindrical and includes an inner wall, an outer wall integrally formed with the inner wall, and a pressurized fluid chamber located radially between and encapsulated in the inner wall and the outer wall. The front flange extends radially outward from the outer wall of the body. The front flange may comprise a tool support connection structured and arranged to fasten the front flange to a tool support member. The tool support member may include a pressurized fluid system that communicates with the pressurized fluid chamber of the expansion sleeve. The expansion sleeves may be secured to the tool support member by mechanical fasteners, threading, or combinations thereof. During operation, pressurized fluid in the tool support member communicates with the pressurized fluid chamber of the expansion sleeve to clamp a tool shank.
