Abstract:
A rotary tool (100) includes a housing (104), a tool holder (120), and a wrench assembly (108). The housing (104) includes an end portion (124) having external threads (128). The tool holder (120) extends from the end portion (124) and includes a fastening member (172) configured for movement between an undamped position and a clamped position in which the tool holder (120) can engage a tool. The wrench assembly (108) includes a body portion (220) and a wrench member (228). The body portion (220) includes (i) a plurality of internal threads (240) configured to meshingly engage the external threads (128) and (ii) an opening (236) through which a portion of the tool holder extends (120) when the internal threads are meshingly engaged to the external threads. The wrench member (228) includes a wrench surface (258) configured to engage the fastening member (172).
Abstract:
A collet holder for insertion into a multi-jaw chuck. The collet holder includes a multi-faceted body having a smooth bore extending therethrough for housing a standard collet and a cap nut threadably secured to the body.
Abstract:
An assembly generally comprises a collet (12) for receiving a cutting tool shank (34) and a lock nut (16) for creating a gripping force between the collet (12) and the cutting tool shank (34). The collet (12) has a nose (100) and the lock nut (16) has a front face (74) that is substantially flush with the nose (100). The lock nut (16) further has a fastening element that mates with a fastening element of a coolant sealing ring (18) for attaching the coolant sealing ring (18) to the lock nut (16) so that the coolant sealing ring (18) may be detached from the lock nut (16).
Abstract:
Eine Spannvorrichtung (1) zum Aufnehmen und zum spielfreien Vorspannen eines Radlagers weist eine Spanneinrichtung (3) auf, die das Radlager (8) radial von außen vorspannt.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a clamping nut which is unbalanced by the eccentrically machined extraction tab (4) which serves to release the clamping chuck (2) from its housing (1). To compensate for said imbalance a previously defined quantity of material (5) is removed at the level of the inner contour of the clamping nut (3).
Abstract:
A quick release chuck device (10) includes a body member (18) having a frusto-conical chamber (24) defined therein for receipt of a conventional collet (26). A plurality of weighted cam members (32) are disposed around the circumference of the body member (18) and include a first end (34) which is pivotally mounted to the body member (18). The cam members (32) have a center of gravity (50) longitudinally spaced from the pivot point (40) wherein upon rotation of the body member (28) in an operational mode, the cam members (32) are caused to pivot relative to the body member (18) and swing radially outward from the body member (18). A collet engaging member (56) is disposed at a first end of the cam members (32) and is configured to engage and move the collet (26) into the frusto-conical chamber (24) as the cam members (32) swing radially outward.
Abstract:
A quick release chuck device (10) includes a body member (12) having a frustoconical chamber (14) defined therein with a collet device (16) operably housed in the chamber (14). A least two longitudinally extending members (18) are disposed equally spaced around the circumference of the body member (12) and are pivotally mounted relative to the body member (12) at pivot points (20) near a front or first end (22) of the longitudinal members (18). The longitudinal members (18) have a second end (24) opposite the first end (22) wherein the second ends (24) are moveable radially outward from the body member (12) as the body member (12) is rotated in an operational mode of the device (10). The first ends (22) of the longitudinal members (18) engage the collet device (16) and force the collet device (16) longitudinally into the frustoconical chamber (14) when the second ends (24) are moved radially outward by centrifugal force as the body member (12) is rotated.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for balancing a high speed rotary tool assembly (1) is provided. The apparatus includes a rotary tool holder (3) having an axis of rotation (11), a cutting tool retainer (13) in the rotary tool holder (3) having a lockring (23) that circumscribes the axis of rotation (11) of the holder (3), and a pair of axially spaced balancing rings (35a, 35b) for balancing the entire rotary tool assembly (1) which are rotatably mounted around bearing surfaces (37) circumscribing the lockring (23) so as to be angularly positionable around the axis of rotation (11) of the tool holder (3). In the method of the invention, the unbalance of the tool holder (3) and cutting tool (17) is determined, and then the rings (35a, 35b) are rotatably adjusted about the bearing surface (11) on lockring (23) to create an unbalance which cancels out the determined unbalance of the tool holder (3) assembly.
