Patent number: 12325077Abstract: A clamping device for releasably holding a tool holder shank includes a housing, a drawbar axially moveable in a bore in the housing, engagement members moveable under the effect of the drawbar into locking engagement with the tool holder shank, and an actuating member rotatably arranged in the bore. Upon rotation of the actuating member, a contact surface on a motion transferring element fixedly connected to the actuating member achieves an axial movement of the drawbar by pressing against a contact surface on another motion transferring element fixedly connected to the drawbar. At least one of the contact surfaces includes two sections with mutually different pitch, such that the same angular displacement of the actuating member, when rotated in a first rotary direction, results in a longer axial movement of the drawbar in a first phase of the rotary movement than in a final phase thereof.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2021Date of Patent: June 10, 2025Assignee: AB Sandvik CoromantInventors: Jonas Wasterlund, Gunnar Matlik

Patent number: 12220750Abstract: A clamping device is arranged for releasably holding a tool holder shank. The clamping device includes a housing, a drawbar mounted reciprocally movable inside a bore in the housing, and an actuator. An aperture extends along an actuator axis and is delimited by an aperture housing surface and a drawbar groove. A first locking pressure applying surface on the actuator acts upon a first locking pressure receiving surface in the drawbar groove to effectuate a displacement of the drawbar when the actuator is moved along the actuator axis in a first direction, resulting in clamping of the tool holder shank.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2020Date of Patent: February 11, 2025Assignee: AB Sandvik CoromantInventors: Gunnar Matlik, Jonas Wasterlund
