Abstract:
The guide bushing (1) for a machine tool, especially for an automatic lathe, includes at least two segments (2), each segment being connected on both sides to a neighboring segment by an elastic means (3) in order to form an axisymmetric body of axis (1A) and has a central opening (10) enabling a bar to be machined to pass through, each of the elastic means (3) extends axially along the axis (1A) in a groove (8) of the guide bushing.
Abstract:
A work holder includes an elongated, hollow, cylindrical handle and a head secured within one end of the handle. A fixed jaw is secured to the head and projects longitudinally from the end of the handle. The fixed jaw has a pointed tip on its free end. A movable jaw is over the fixed jaw and is pivotally seated on an annular flange on the head. The movable jaw has a pointed tip which contacts the tip of the fixed jaw. A spring extends around the two jaws. The spring normally holds the tips together but allows pivoting of the movable jaw to separate the tips and thereby allow insertion or removal of a workpiece.

Abstract:
The chuck (10) is comprised of a chuck body (11) having an inner cone surface and a grip head (12) with a corresponding outer cone surface. The grip head (12) is subdivided into individual clamping jaws (21) by several seperating slots, said clamping jaws being connected to the grip head (12) by means of elastic connecting elements (22). Recesses (25) are provided on the inner cone surface of the chuck body (11) at least in the peripheral area of each seperating slot of the grip head (12), preferably also in the peripheral area of the apex line of each clamping jaw (21). Said recesses (25) have peripheral extension which is greater than that of the separating slots of the grip head (12) or the apex region of the clamping jaws (21). The axial extension of the recesses (25) is at least identical to the largest overlap area of both cone surfaces. The recesses (25) are filled with a filling body (27), made of an elastic, compressible material, up to the imaginary inner cone surface. The filling bodies (27) are permanently connected to the chuck body (11).
Abstract:
Disclosed is a chuck for accommodating a collet chuck, comprising a housing and a chucking tool seat that is assigned to the housing. The chucking tool seat is embedded in the housing as a separate part via an intermediate filling that is made of polymer concrete as connecting means. Said design has improved properties regarding damping and the total weight while flat sub-areas that are composed of individual guiding plates can additionally be used as clamping areas of the chucking tool seat. Thus a pyramid-type joint is obtained, which could previously be created with the required precision only by using a lot of effort when producing the same from solid material.

Abstract:
A sealed collet having improved radial flexibility is provided for facilitating removal from a locknut of a chuck assembly. The sealed collet includes a collet body formed from a tubular configuration of elongated gripping fingers separated by elongated slots which render the body radially resilient in response to pressure applied by a locknut. The slots are filled with a bonding agent, which may be a silicon rubber compound, for preventing dirt and debris from entering the collet slots and for preventing pressurized coolant intended to flow through a bore in a tool shank from flowing through the walls of the collet body. To increase the radial compressibility of the collet, agent-free gaps are provided in the slots immediately behind a distal portion of the collet body. In the preferred embodiment, the length of the agent-free gap is between 20% and 30% of the overall length of its respective slot. The location of the gaps immediately behind the distal end of the collet body advantageously increases the radial compressibility of the collet while allowing the bonding agent in the slots to continue to prevent debris from entering the collet.
