  • Publication number: 20170087689
    Abstract: A clamping device for a machine tool includes at least three pivoting members and a drive member drivingly connected to the pivoting members. The clamping device works in such a way that the pivoting members clamp the workpiece to be processed, then the drive member rotates the pivoting members, and the workpiece is also rotated while being clamped between the pivoting members. The clamping device employs at least three pivoting members to clamp the workpiece, and the three pivoting members clamp the workpiece while rotating the same, which can reduce vibration and balance the workpiece. Therefore, the clamping device is capable of reducing vibration, reducing machining errors and improving processing quality.

  • Patent number: 5286003
    Abstract: A jack is provided which includes a vertical lift rod which is disposed within a tubular housing and has a male thread formed on its longitudinal body. Two guide blocks are included with each having a recess with a half female thread formed therein, the two blocks together forming a complete female thread to engage or disengage from the male thread of the lift rod. The lift rod can be lifted up by its rotation within the female thread, when the lift rod is rotated by a handle connected with a worm engaging a worm gear. The worm gear has two keys formed on its inner wall for receipt within two respective longitudinal slots of the lift rod for engagement thereof. The lift rod can be rapidly lowered by displacement of the two guide blocks away from engagement with the lift rod. A rack and pinion arrangement is provided for displacement of the guide blocks responsive to rotation of a handle coupled to the pinion.
