A workholding apparatus (10) wherein a draw bar (22) effects chucking and de-chucking of a workpiece (W) and wherein un-seating of the workholding apparatus is effected by piston-like mechanisms (30) located in a machine spindle (2).

A rotating tool includes a circumferential surface formed with a tool anchorage arrangement. The tool anchorage arrangement follows a stepped path. The tool anchorage arrangement includes an entry recess and, subsequent thereto, a radial recess and, subsequent thereto, an axial recess. Additional radial and axial recesses may be alternated to increase the number of steps, thereby extending the length of the stepped path.

A release unit for a machine tool spindle, in particular motor spindle, for releasing a tool clamp, wherein the release unit comprises at least one adjustment element which can be linearly adjusted along an adjustment path for actuating the tool clamp, which release unit reduces the structural and/or economic complexity. This is achieved according to the invention in that the release unit is constructed as an electric motor which comprises an electromagnetic drive system having a hollow-cylindrical rotor shaft which rotates about a rotation axis, in that the linearly adjustable adjustment element is constructed as a spindle element of a conversion unit for converting the rotation of the electric motor into a linear adjustment and in that the rotor shaft is constructed as a spindle nut of the conversion unit which rotates about the rotation axis.

A tool holder includes a main body, a deformable receptacle for clamping a tool, and at least one blocking element which, in order to prevent axial migration of the tool out of the tool holder, is configured to engage in a corresponding counterpart element on the tool and is arranged at the receptacle. In order to allow particularly high concentricity of the tool holder and stable fastening of the clamped-in tool, and at the same time to ensure easy production, the receptacle has two spaced-apart clamping portions, between which the at least one blocking element is arranged.

A cutting tool comprises a shank having an insertion portion protruding from a shank main body, a head in which an insertion hole into which the insertion portion is inserted is formed, and a spacer disposed in a gap between the shank main body and the head. The insertion portion has a tapered outer circumferential surface which gradually decreases in diameter from the other side toward one side in the axial direction. The insertion hole has a tapered inner circumferential surface coming into surface contact with the tapered outer circumferential surface. A head end surface of the head which faces the other side in the axial direction comes into surface contact with a surface facing one side in the axial direction of the spacer.

A tool holder module has a tool holder and a tool holder assembly jig. The tool holder assembly jig has a horizontal supporting seat. A flange recess is formed in the top surface of the horizontal supporting seat and is configured to accommodate a flange of the tool holder. The flange recess has two clamping portions, and each clamping portion protrudes from a respective one of two opposite surfaces of the flange recess and extends linearly from an opening of the flange recess toward a bottom of the flange recess. The two clamping portions are configured to engage with the two clamping recesses to prevent the tool holder from rotating relative to the horizontal supporting seat. The tool holder is selectively mounted on one of the vertical supporting seat and the horizontal supporting seat.

An assembly comprises: a chuck, which has a tool-receiving socket, a contact surface, and a screw thread; and a cutting tool, which has a tool shaft, a mating contact surface, and a mating screw thread. In a clamped state, the mating screw thread of the cutting tool is screwed into the screw thread of the chuck, the mating contact surface of the cutting tool is seated against the contact surface of the chuck, and the tool shaft is frictionally torque-transmittingly clamped in the tool-receiving socket. The invention also relates to a chuck of this type and to a cutting tool of this type.

The invention concerns a shrink-fit chuck (1) for clamping an object, in particular for clamping a milling cutter in a milling machine, having a cylindrical receiving bore (3) for receiving a cylindrical shank of the object to be clamped, the receiving bore (3) extending in the shrink-fit chuck (1) and being bounded on the outside by a wall (4). The shrink-fit chuck (1) according to the invention is characterised by a rib (12) which extends transversely to the longitudinal axis (13) of the receiving bore (3) and projects inwards from the wall (4) of the receiving bore (3) into the receiving bore (3), so that the rib (12) permits the complete insertion of the shank (5) into the receiving bore (3) only in a predetermined angular position of the shank (5).

A surgical device comprising: a handle assembly; a locking collar; and a set of replaceable bits that load into the handle assembly; wherein the locking collar is fully removable from the handle assembly, loads axially to a first position, and rotates between the first position and a second position; wherein, in the first position, the locking collar is free to be removed from the handle assembly and the replaceable bits are free to be loaded or unloaded from the handle assembly; wherein, in the second position, the locking collar is prevented from axial movement relative to the handle assembly and the replaceable bits are prevented from being received within, or removed from, the handle assembly; and the locking collar is guided to the first position and between the first position and the second position by a groove in the handle assembly mating with a member carried by the locking collar.

A quick detachable and adjustable magnetic seat for sleeve includes a magnetic device and a detachable positioning device. The magnetic device includes a first end and a second end. The first end is magnetic. The detachable positioning device includes a connecting end slidably disposed on the second end of the magnetic device, such that the magnetic device axially slides against the detachable positioning device. The detachable positioning device further includes a resilient quick detach device disposed on one end of the detachable positioning device away from the connecting end, whereby the detachable positioning device is removably disposed in a sleeve. Therefore, when the sleeve is damaged or broken, the adjustable magnetic seat is efficiently removed from the sleeve and re-installed in a new sleeve replacement.
