Abstract: The guide bushing (1) for a machine tool, especially for an automatic lathe, includes at least two segments (2), each segment being connected on both sides to a neighboring segment by an elastic means (3) in order to form an axisymmetric body of axis (1A) and has a central opening (10) enabling a bar to be machined to pass through, each of the elastic means (3) extends axially along the axis (1A) in a groove (8) of the guide bushing.

Abstract: A chuck for accommodating a collet chuck, comprising a housing and a chucking tool seat that is assigned to the housing. The chucking tool seat is embedded in the housing as a separate part via an intermediate filling that is made of polymer concrete for connecting the chucking tool seat and the housing. This design has improved properties regarding damping and the total weight while flat sub-areas that are composed of individual guiding plates can additionally be used as clamping areas of the chucking tool seat. Thus a pyramid-type joint is obtained, which could previously be created with the required precision only by using a lot of effort when producing the same from solid material.

Abstract: Collet chucks (20) comprise at least two tensioning segments (21). Adjacent tensioning segments are connected to each other by way of elastic spacer elements (30). The tensioning segments (21) have back-cuts (22), whilst the spacer elements have correspondingly formed sections (36). A positive fit of the formed sections in the back-cuts of the tensioning segments (21) is thus possible.

Abstract: The chuck (10) is comprised of a chuck body (11) having an inner cone surface and a grip head (12) with a corresponding outer cone surface. The grip head (12) is subdivided into individual clamping jaws (21) by several seperating slots, said clamping jaws being connected to the grip head (12) by means of elastic connecting elements (22). Recesses (25) are provided on the inner cone surface of the chuck body (11) at least in the peripheral area of each seperating slot of the grip head (12), preferably also in the peripheral area of the apex line of each clamping jaw (21). Said recesses (25) have peripheral extension which is greater than that of the separating slots of the grip head (12) or the apex region of the clamping jaws (21). The axial extension of the recesses (25) is at least identical to the largest overlap area of both cone surfaces. The recesses (25) are filled with a filling body (27), made of an elastic, compressible material, up to the imaginary inner cone surface.
