  • Patent number: 9022393
    Abstract: A cutting tool includes a chuck, a compressible conical collet and a lock nut for locking the collet. The cutting tool lock nut has a nut portion with a threaded portion for threading with the chuck, and a locking portion with a collet-locking surface formed with angled coolant grooves thereon. The collet-locking surface presses on the collet head, thereby compressing it to grip a tool shank in a collet bore thereof. As the locking portion presses only against a peripheral surface of the collet head, the lock nut is suitable for locking collets with different bore diameters. When the chuck is provided with a coolant fluid, the coolant fluid flows through the chuck and through the collet towards the locking portion, passing through the coolant notches between the locking portion and the collet head, and sprayed towards a location along the tool shank.

  • Publication number: 20140312579
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary seal chuck of an optical fiber preform rod deposition lathe, comprising a fixed socket sleeve and a rotary shaft. The fixed socket sleeve is provided with a central hole base. The central hole base bears the rotary shaft through a bearing. An end of the central hole base is connected to an air hose. The rotary shaft is a hollow rotary shaft provided with a through hole. One end of the through hole communicates with the air hose, and the other end of the through hole is provided with a liner tube connecting sealing hole base. A magnetic fluid seal ring is disposed at a joint between an inner side of the rotary shaft and the central hole base of the fixed socket sleeve, to form a rotary dynamic seal. An outer side of the rotary shaft is connected to a rotary driving disk.

  • Patent number: 8752843
    Abstract: A collet has seal bores formed in interspaces of the collet. The seal bores are oriented at an acute angle ? to the longitudinal axis of the collet, and extend towards a tool end of the collet, from a clamping surface of the collet to a collet peripheral surface. Adjacent the clamping bore, the collet has stopping surfaces for accurately locating the seals. When inserted into the seal bores, the seals prevent fluid leakage between the clamping bore surface and the peripheral surface of the collet.

  • Patent number: 7832965
    Abstract: A drill has a housing formed with an outlet hole, a fan expelling an air stream from the outlet hole, a drive spindle projecting from the housing adjacent the outlet and centered on and rotatable about an axis, and a chuck body carried on the housing. A tightening sleeve rotatable about the axis on the chuck body carries a plurality of radially shiftable jaws, and interengaging screw formations operatively engaged between the body and the sleeve can shift the jaws radially in the guides on rotation of the sleeve relative to the body. A shield sleeve angularly fixed to the housing and surrounding the tightening sleeve has a rear end juxtaposed with the housing radially outside the outlet hole such that the air stream enters the shield sleeve. Inside the shield sleeve forward of its rear end a passage and a particle-expelling hole collect drilling particles and blow them out the particle-expelling hole.

  • Patent number: 6729627
    Abstract: The present invention provides a capped collet and a cap attached to the collet, which are capable of efficiently supplying a cooling fluid to a tool according to the type of the tool held therein, and of performing satisfactory cooling. The capped collet comprises: a collet body 10; a cap 11 which is attached to the top-end side of the collet body 10 in an attachable and detachable manner and which allows the tool to pierce therethrough; and a sealing member 12 placed between a tool holder 101 and the cap 11 in order to hermetically seal a space between them. The collet body 10 has a slot 13 formed at least from the top-end side thereof, and an annular projection 21 which is formed on the top-end side and which is coupled with the cap 11. The cap 1 has an annular groove 18 for coupling with the annular projection 21 of the collet body 10, and a cover 22 for covering the end face of the collet body 10 on the top-end side.
