  • Publication number: 20120200049
    Abstract: A chuck has a body rotatable about an axis and formed centered on this axis with a passage. Pivots angularly equispaced about the axis in the chuck body define respective pivot axes. An actuating sleeve axially shiftable in the passage carries a piston disk having a frustoconical outer surface centered on the chuck axis and axially shiftable in the body by the sleeve. Respective shafts journaled in the pivots and rotatable therein about the respective pivot axes each have an outer surface portion that is frustoconical and centered on the respective pivot axis. Respective levers fitted to the frustoconical surface portions of the shafts each have a front arm projecting axially forwardly from the shaft out of the chuck body and adapted to carry a tool-gripping jaw and a rear arm projecting axially rearwardly from the shaft and engageable by the outer surface of the disk.

  • Patent number: 6837499
    Abstract: A chuck has a chuck body rotatable about a main axis and a plate displaceable axially on the body between an outer position and an inner position. Springs urge the plate into the outer position. A locking element on the body can move between a blocking position preventing displacement of the plate from the outer position into the inner position and a freeing position permitting such displacement. A plurality of jaw holders angularly spaced about the axis are fixed axially on the plate and each have radially displaceable outer and inner ends. A piston axially displaceable in the body has cam formations engaging the jaw-holder inner ends for radially displacing the jaw-holder outer ends on axial displacement of the piston.

  • Patent number: 6485032
    Abstract: A chuck has a chuck body adapted to be rotated about a chuck axis and a plurality of elongated jaw arms angularly spaced about the axis, pivotal in the chuck body about respective guide axes extending secantally of the chuck axis, and axially slidable in the body. Each jaw arm has a front outer end formed with a generally axially extending and radially inwardly directed outer face and an axially outwardly and forwardly directed inner face extending radially inward from an axially inner end of the outer face. Each outer face converges axially outward with the chuck axis and forms a small acute angle with the chuck axis. Respective jaw inserts each have a pair of faces complementary to and flatly engaging the respective jaw faces. These inserts are releasably secured to the jaw outer ends with the insert faces bearing on the jaw faces. The faces are planar.

  • Patent number: 6409182
    Abstract: A lathe chuck has a chuck body rotatable about an axis and having a plurality of angularly equispaced and axially forwardly open angled guides, a set of first jaws in some of the guides, and a set of second jaws in the other guides alternating with the first jaws. Respective first and second actuating plates coupled to the respective sets of jaws are axially displaceable to radially displace the jaws in the guides. An actuating shaft axially is displaceable in the body. A rocker connects the shaft with the plates for limited relative axial movement of the plates so that the first jaws can engage the workpiece before the second jaws. The actuating shaft has a tubular front end, a core shaft is axially connected to one of the plates and coaxially received in the actuating-shaft end, and a tube shaft is axially connected to the other of the plates and coaxially surrounds the actuating-shaft end. This actuating-shaft end in turn has a radially throughgoing hole through which the rocker extends.

  • Patent number: 6397727
    Abstract: A pivot-chuck actuator has a housing extending along an axis, a piston chamber centered on the axis, and a vane chamber offset and separate from the piston chamber. A piston is axially displaceable in the piston chamber and axially fixed to a shaft extending from the housing on the axis. A vane element on the shaft angularly subdivides the vane chamber into a pair of angularly offset compartments and formations rotationally couple the vane element to the shaft for joint rotation therewith while permitting relatively axial movement of the vane element and shaft. The compartments can be alternately pressurized to rotate the vane element and shaft about the axis. A pair of counterweights angularly fixed on the shaft axially flank the vane element to allow the actuator to operate at very high speeds.
