Abstract: A chuck (600) for use with a powered driver having a rotatable drive shaft is provided. The chuck may include a body, a plurality of movable jaws (610), a nut (625), a sleeve (640), and an anti-vibration assembly (620). The anti-vibration assembly may be operably disposed between the sleeve and the nut and configured to absorb vibration caused by operation of the power driver and maintain a position of the sleeve relative to the nut when the sleeve is in at least a locked position.

Abstract: A chuck for use with a power driver having a rotatable drive spindle is provided. The chuck may comprise a plurality of jaws, a front body, a nut, a rear body, and a clutch. The clutch may be configured to move between a working position and a jaw actuating position. In the working position, the clutch teeth may be engaged with the rear body teeth such that rotation of the rear body by the drive spindle rotates the clutch, the front body, and the jaws. In the jaw actuating position, the clutch teeth may not or need not be engaged with the rear body teeth and the rear body may be configured to rotate the nut relative to the front body to move the jaws relative to the front body.

Abstract: Various chucks for use with a power driver having a rotatable drive spindle are provided. One chuck includes a plurality of jaws disposed at a forward end of the chuck, a body, a push plate, a jaw spring, and a nut. The plurality of jaws may be disposed in the body and configured to rotate with the body about a center axis of the chuck. The push plate may be operably coupled to each of the jaws. The jaws may be configured to translate forward to close the jaw opening in response to the push plate translating axially forward. The jaw spring may be configured to apply a forward directed force to urge the push plate forward. The nut may have nut teeth that cause the jaws to translate forward and clamp onto the working bit in response to the nut being rotated in a tightening direction.

Abstract: A chuck is provided for use with a powered driver having a rotatable drive shaft. The chuck includes a plurality of jaws movably disposed in passageways of a cylindrical body, a nut rotatably mounted about the body and in communication with the jaws such that rotation of the nut in a closing direction moves the jaws toward each other and rotation of the nut in an opening direction moves the jaws away from each other, and a sleeve rotatably mounted about the body. The sleeve is in communication with the nut such that rotation of the sleeve rotationally drives the nut. The chuck also including a biasing element disposed between the nut an at least a portion of the sleeve configured to bias the sleeve toward a neutral position. The biasing element limits an inertial force of the sleeve applied to the nut during operation of the powered driver.

Abstract: A chuck for use with a power driver having a rotatable drive spindle is provided. The chuck may include a clamping assembly comprising a clamping member that operably couples the sleeve to a nut. The clamping assembly may be configured to transition the chuck between a rapid jaw adjustment mode and a clamping mode. In the rapid jaw adjustment mode, a sleeve may be configured to rotate the clamping member with the nut to cause rotational movement of the nut relative to jaws and a chuck body, which may cause translational movement of the jaws relative to the chuck body. In the clamping mode, the nut may be rotationally fixed with the jaws and the clamping member may rotate relative to the nut to cause the nut to move axially relative to a center axis of the chuck which causes the jaws to translate relative to the body and clamp onto a working bit.

Abstract: A chuck is provided for use with a powered driver having a rotatable drive shaft. The chuck includes a plurality of jaws (22) movably disposed in passageways (40) of a cylindrical body (14), a nut (16) rotatably mounted about the body (14) and in communication with the jaws (22) such that rotation of the nut (16) in a closing direction moves the jaws (22) toward each other and rotation of the nut (16) in an opening direction moves the jaws (22) away from each other, and a sleeve rotatably mounted about the body (14). The sleeve is in communication with the nut (16) such that rotation of the sleeve rotationally drives the nut (16). The chuck also including a biasing element (208) disposed between the nut (16) an at least a portion of the sleeve configured to bias the sleeve toward a neutral position. The biasing element (208) limits an inertial force of the sleeve applied to the nut during operation of the powered driver.
