Abstract:
The device is constructed with a tensioning spindle (12), a counter-holder (14) and a carrier (30), at least the tensioning spindle (12) being mounted such that it is rotatable about the longitudinal axis, and the carrier (14) being fixed to the tensioning spindle (12) and, when the workpiece (50) is clamped between the tensioning spindle (12) and the counter-holder (14), being capable of being brought into engagement with the workpiece (50) in such a way that it transmits a rotary movement of the tensioning spindle (12) to the workpiece (50). The device furthermore provides for the carrier to have a spring element (30) which can be coupled to the workpiece (50) under prestress to transmit a torque.
Abstract:
A face-driver assembly and method for accurate coupling of a face driver with the spindle of a rotary-drive machining device. The assembly includes a face driver, a hub on the spindle defining a prealignment bore, a pair of self-centering coacting tooth sets on the hub and face driver, an engagement post extending into the hub and forming a prealignment shaft closely complementary to the prealignment bore, and a releasable coupling to hold and draw the engagement post rearwardly and thereby join the tooth sets in a manner facilitating final accurate centering.
Abstract:
A statically balanced safety lathe dog for use with lathes of the type normally found in the average machine shop and which is characterized by the eccentricity of its mounting on the work to be turned whereby to effect a camming action in operation on the lathe and thereby act to push an operator's hand away from a danger area by a wiping action because of the sliding contact created by the camming feature of the dog rather than by the striking action of the typical or usual lathe dog.
