An apparatus for clamping a component on a rotating machine part, in particular a balancing machine, having a basic body, having a clamping mandrel, which is arranged in an axially displaceable manner within the basic body, and having a plurality of clamping devices, which can be moved between a release position and a clamping position by axial displacement of the clamping mandrel. In order to make it possible for components to be clamped centrally with repeated accuracy, the clamping devices are designed as clamping segments which can be displaced radially in relation to the center axis of the basic body above the latter.

A tooling exchange mechanism and a machine tool having the tooling exchange mechanism, in which a load applied to a turret is reduced when exchanging a tooling in the machine tool, are provided with a pressing member 210 of a tooling detachment unit 200 that presses the rear end of a tooling holding unit 100 to be able to release the retracted state of a tool holder Th of a tooling T by a tool holder holding portion 150 of the tooling holding unit 100, and a locking lever 220 of the tooling detachment unit 200 engageable with an engaging projection 112a formed on the rear end side of the tooling holding unit 100.

A machine tool includes: a frame; a hollow ram disposed on the frame in a reciprocable manner; a hollow spindle to which a tool is mountable, rotatably supported by the ram, and having a lever hole penetrating the spindle in a radial direction and extending in an axial direction; a drawbar including a collet, reciprocate in the spindle, and urged toward a basal end of the spindle; a lever connected to the drawbar and extending radially outward of the spindle through the lever hole; a trigger fixed to the frame; a feed unit that reciprocates the ram, advances the ram toward a distal end to machine a workpiece, and retracts the ram toward a basal end to bring the lever into contact with the trigger for the drawbar to advance with respect to the spindle to open the collet.
