  • Publication number: 20220126421
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bore clamp for clamping a workpiece having a workpiece bore located in the workpiece, with a radially expandable clamping bush, a displaceable clamping bolt for expanding the clamping bush in the clamping position, and with a clamping bolt drive for axial displacement of the clamping bolt into the clamping position. According to the invention, the clamping bolt drive includes a laterally displaceable piston and a wedge gear with wedge surfaces sliding on each other for converting the lateral movement of the piston into a corresponding axial movement of the clamping bolt in the clamping direction.

  • Patent number: 10940542
    Abstract: The invention relates to a clamping bushing (21) for clamping in a bore (3) of a component (2), in particular of a workpiece to be clamped, wherein the clamping bushing (21) is radially contracted in a relaxed state such that the clamping bushing (21) can be inserted into the bore (3) and pulled out of the bore (3), whereas the clamping bushing (21) is radially expanded in a stressed state such that the lateral surface of the clamping bushing (21) forms a mechanical connection to the inner wall of the bore (3). According to the invention, the mechanical connection between the lateral surface of the clamping bushing (21) and the inner wall of the bore (3) is positive-locking and consists of a threaded connection. The invention further relates to a corresponding clamping device (1).
