Abstract: The invention relates to a tool receptacle 1 comprising a receiving body 3, which has a receiving opening 5 for a tool shaft 6 of a tool and a first fluid supply structure 22, 33 and 35 for supplying fluid to the tool, said fluid supply structure extending through the receiving body 3. In order to allow a diversified supply of working fluids to the tool, a second fluid supply structure 23, 34 and 41. Which is not connected with the first fluid supply structure 22, 33 and 35, extends through the receiving body 3, hereby allowing a fluid supply to the tool which is separate from the first fluid supply structure 22, 33 and 35.

Abstract: The invention relates to a balancing or measuring adapter (1) for clamping a component (2) on a rotating machine element of a balancing or measuring machine, which has a main body (4, 5) with a receiving opening (6) for the component (2) to be clamped, a collet chuck (11) arranged inside the main body (4, 5) with clamping tongues (26) for centrally clamping the component (2) and an actuator (12) axially adjustable between a clamp position and a release position for actuating the collet chuck (11).

Abstract: The induction coil unit for heating a component which is rotationally symmetrical relative to an axis, in particular a tool holder (5), comprises a plurality of coils (19) arranged about the axis (7) of the tool holder (5), with pole elements (2), which are movable radially with respect to the axis (7), of which pole elements each one consists of a stack of pole rods (25) that can be moved relative to one another. A yoke ring (17) connects the pole elements, which, when the coils (19) are excited by alternating current in the tool holder (5), produce a magnetic flux running in the peripheral direction to inductively heat the tool holder (5). The pole rods (25) of each pole element (21) can be moved jointly by means of pinion rollers (29), wherein, however, slide couplings or the like are provided in the drive force transmission path between the individual pole rods so that the pole elements (21) can adapt to different contours of the tool holder (5).

Abstract: The invention relates to a tool holder (1) for clamping tools by shrink fit. The tool holder, due to its specific shaping in the area of the shrink-fit head (6) and the shrink-fit base (5) of the tool holder, is less prone to oscillate than known tool holders, therefore allowing inter alia higher speeds so that the cutting capacity, determined by the speed of the tool, the tool feed and the cutting depth of the tool, can be increased and the machine running times required to produce a workpiece can be reduced. The tool holder (1) of the present invention allows to produce and machine workpieces in a substantially more efficient and economical manner.
