  • Patent number: 9486858
    Abstract: A drill chuck and a drill apparatus is provided that includes a drilling machine, which has a motor and a machine spindle that is supported in rotary fashion in a machine housing. The a drill chuck is connected to the machine spindle and can be moved between a clamping configuration and a drilling configuration and has a clamping sleeve and a chuck body in which clamping jaws are movably guided by a threaded connection. When a sliding sleeve is moved relative to the chuck body between a first position that corresponds to the clamping configuration and a second position that corresponds to the drilling configuration, a flow of force traveling from the motor via the machine spindle to the threaded connection is shifted to a flow of force traveling from the motor via the machine spindle to the chuck body and vice versa.

  • Patent number: 9403217
    Abstract: A drill-chuck body is rotatable about an axis and formed with a plurality of passages opening axially rearward at a rear face of the body and radially outwardly at windows in a side of the body. Jaws displaceable between front and rear positions in the passages each have a row of teeth exposed radially outwardly at the respective windows. A tightening ring rotatable about the axis is formed with an internal screwthread engaged at the windows with the teeth such that rotation of the ring moves the jaws between the front and rear positions. A tightening sleeve fitted around and coupled rotationally to the tightening ring extends axially rearward past the windows. This brace ring is radially inwardly engaged with the body and engages radially outwardly between the windows and the rear face with the tightening sleeve so as to coaxially center it on the body.

  • Patent number: 9387539
    Abstract: A gripper for use in combination with a pin has a body having an axially open cavity in which the pin is engageable. Jaws in the cavity are radially displaceable between an inner holding position bearing radially inwardly on and gripping the pin and an outer release position in which the pin can be removed axially from the cavity. An actuating element in the body is engageable with the jaws and shiftable between end positions corresponding to the inner and outer positions of the jaws. An actuator connected to the actuating element can move it from one of the end positions into the other of the end positions. An externally accessible connecting or operating member on the chuck body is connected through an emergency release with the jaws for moving the jaws into the outer release position as the result of connection to or operation of the member.

  • Patent number: 9352398
    Abstract: A high-frequency spindle has a tube shaft extending along and rotatable about an axis, a chuck carried on a front end of the shaft, adapted to fit with a tool or tool holder, and a ball cage in the shaft and having a radially extending window. A locking ball os radially displaceable in the window between a holding position engaging in a seat of the tool and a freeing position clear of the seat. An angled surface is engageable radially with the ball, and an actuating rod is axially shiftable and coupled to the cage or to the angled surface. An actuator can axially shift the rod and thereby relatively axially displace the ball and the angled surface and cam the ball with the angled surface into the holding position. A primary spring biases the rod so as shift the ball with the angled surface into the holding position.
