  • Patent number: 11911834
    Abstract: A drilling tool for producing a bore with a cylindrical inner wall can be rotatable in a rotary movement with a predetermined rotational direction (VD) about a tool axis (A) extending through the drilling tool, and at the same time is movable in an axial forward movement (VB) in a forward direction axially to the tool axis. The drilling tool comprises at least one drilling area (3) arranged in a forwardly located region of the drilling tool at a forward or free end, but preferably not having a thread forming region. The drilling area has a number n of drilling edges which are arranged offset to each other in the rotational direction, and at least one chip divider is arranged on at least one or each of the n drill cutting edges, where the chip divider forms an interruption of the respective drill cutting edge.

  • Publication number: 20230302548
    Abstract: An expansion clamping device includes a base body and an expansion socket. The expansion socket is inserted into the base body to form a pressure chamber. The pressure chamber can be applied with a hydraulic medium while elastically deforming the expansion socket, in order to achieve a clamping effect in a receiving space which is open in the axial direction of the base body towards a face side and is surrounded by the expansion socket in the circumferential direction. The expansion socket has an elastically deformable clamping section and a collar projecting outwardly in the radial direction on the face side. The expansion socket bears with a bearing surface of the collar in the axial direction against a contact surface of a contact shoulder of the base body and, at least in the region of the bearing surface, is firmly connected, in particular by a material bond, to the base body.
