The wedge sleeve (2) and the external sleeve (3) are connected to one another by providing one with a flange (8, 10) and the other with a groove (7, 9), the flange (8, 10) and the groove (7, 9) being substantially perpendicular with respect to a direction of motion (B) of the wedge (1), and by arranging the flange (8, 10) in the groove (7, 9).

Abstract: A collet has seal bores formed in interspaces of the collet. The seal bores are oriented at an acute angle ? to the longitudinal axis of the collet, and extend towards a tool end of the collet, from a clamping surface of the collet to a collet peripheral surface. Adjacent the clamping bore, the collet has stopping surfaces for accurately locating the seals. When inserted into the seal bores, the seals prevent fluid leakage between the clamping bore surface and the peripheral surface of the collet.

Abstract: An arbor of a machine tool has a collet arbor base, an expandable and releasable collet having a top band coupled to a bottom band, an actuator pin slidable from the collet arbor base arranged concentrically within the collet and having a reverse male taper on an upper end thereof that actuates the top band of the collet, and a conical ring with a taper angle matching the upper end of the actuator pin arranged proximate a lower part of the actuator pin concentric therewith, wherein the reverse male taper at the upper end of the actuator pin activating the top band and the conical ring having a matching taper activating the bottom band of the collet cause the collet to expand and retract accordingly.

Abstract: A pull-out preventer and milling collet that includes the pull-out preventer. The pull-out preventer is configured to prevent axial migration of a fluted milling tool out of the milling collet. The milling collet includes a through-hole extending from a rear-end aperture to an opposing cutting-end aperture of a basic body thereof. The pull-out preventer is located at the cutting-end aperture of the basic body.

Abstract: A side actuated collet lock mechanism includes a collet; a drawbar at least partially disposed within the collet, and a pair of wedge members threadingly received onto each end of a double-ended drive screw. The drive screw is rotated to cause the wedge members to move downward such that a first cam surface engages the drawbar. The drawbar and collet are pulled into the tool holder and firmly secure the shank. To remove the shank, the drive screw is rotated in an opposite direction to cause the wedge members to move upward such that a second cam surface engages the drawbar. The drawbar and the collet are pushed out from the toolholder, thereby releasing the shank.

Abstract: A chuck and an article are configured such that the article is releasably secured in the chuck. One of the chuck and article is provided with a crest and the other with a trough. When the article is secured to the chuck, the crest enters the trough so as help prevent slippage of one with respect to the other. The chuck may include a receiver having a tapered bore, a collet having a complementarily tapered outer surface, and a nut configured to be threadingly secured to a forward end of the receiver; the article may be a shank, such as a tool shank. An inner surface of the collet may be provided with a crest which is configured to fit into a trough formed on the shank. In a secured position, the shank is accommodated in the bore of the collect with the crest of the collet at least partially occupying the trough of the shank, thereby preventing movement of the shank relative to the collet, which itself is accommodated in the bore of the receiver.

Abstract: A chuck holds a disk by the inside diameter with a plurality of contact surfaces at the end of fingers. Axial motion of an actuator is translated into outward radial movement of the fingers to place the contact surfaces in contact with the inside diameter of the disk. The force that is applied to the disk is limited to reduce or eliminate warping or curvature of the disk, e.g., a sleeve that surrounds the fingers can be used as a hard stop to physically limit the range of outward radial movement of the fingers.

Abstract: To compensate for tolerances and diameter differences during the chucking of a tool shank (15) in a tool holder (1) of the shrink-fit chuck type, a diameter-compensating bush (17) is provided. The diameter-compensating bush (17) has an outer sleeve (19) having a tapered inner circumferential surface (25) and an inner sleeve (21) arranged coaxially therein and having a tapered outer circumferential surface (27). Once the diameter-compensating bush (17) has been put onto the tool shank (15) and the inner sleeve (21) has been drawn into the outer sleeve (19), for example by means of a ring nut (35), for the diameter compensation, the outer sleeve (19) is thermally shrunk in place in the locating section (9) of the tool holder (1). In this way, rotary tools whose tool shank (15) does not have a diameter corresponding to the diameter or the tolerance requirements of the tool holder (1) can be chucked in a tool holder (1), for example, of the shrink-fit chuck type.
