  • Patent number: 9205496
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tool holder comprising a tool receptacle in the form of a sleeve part, which comprises a tool receptacle opening comprising a mating surface which is concentric with the axis of rotation of the tool holder and on which the shaft of a tool inserted in accordance with the intended purpose thereof into the tool receptacle opening of the sleeve part can be fixed in a press fit, wherein the sleeve part comprises a number of circumferential recesses from the side of the mating surface, wherein the recesses divide the mating surface into several mating surface segments which are comparable to each other and which are substantially inherently rigid in the axial direction, wherein the radial depth of the recesses is selected such that the press fit releases substantially uniformly on all mating surface segments under the influence of heat applied over the outer circumference of the sleeve part.

  • Publication number: 20080185793
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve the guiding of a lubricant through a tool holder in a small quantity lubrication system. According to the invention, a tool holder (1) comprises, in the maintaining body thereof (3), an axially displaceable stop sleeve (45) which is mounted in a through opening (31) which is connected to the receiving opening (13) for a tool shaft (15) and a stop surface (47) which is adjacent to the front end (23) of the tool shaft (15). Said stop sleeve (45) is screwed into an inner thread (43) of the through opening (31) and is coupled in a rotationally fixed manner, but in an axially displaceable manner, to a control tube (49) which engages in said stop sleeve (45) in an axial manner. Said control tube (49) is mounted in an axially fixed manner to the side thereof, but in a rotatable manner to the fluid coupling (27). A lubricant can be guided over the blades of the tool (9) by means of the fluid coupling (27), the control tube (49), the stop sleeve (45) and channels (17).

  • Patent number: 7060951
    Abstract: To set the length of a rotary tool (1a), to be thermally shrunk in place in a tool holder (7a), by means of an inductive heating device (15a), a setting device is provided with a positioning holder (61) for the rotary tool (1a), this positioning holder (61) being freely displaceable, but lockable, along a guide (35a) and its tool push-in movement into the thermally expanded tool holder (7a) being limited by a stop (71). The rotary tool (1a) bears with its tip (31a) against a stop (43a) of the positioning holder (61). By means of a length-measuring device (39a), the stop (71) limiting the push-in movement can be limited to a position in which the tip (31a) of the rotary tool (1a) is at a predetermined distance from a reference surface (33a) of a holder receptacle (17a), holding the tool holder (7a) during the shrink-fitting operation, or from a corresponding reference surface of the tool holder (7a).
