A system (1) for working hard and abrasive surfaces is provided. The system has a support and containment structure (3) equipped with a containment hole (5), and a spindle (7) to be inserted in the containment hole (5). The spindle is elongated and has a conical section with a first diameter (A) oriented towards the outside of the structure (1) and a second diameter (B) greater than the first diameter (A) and oriented towards the inside of the structure (1) and a conical section with a third diameter (A) oriented towards the outside of the structure (1) and a fourth diameter (B) greater than the first diameter (A) and oriented towards the inside the structure (1). the spindle (7) is inserted into the containment hole (5) by raising or reducing the temperature of the support and containment structure (3).

A holding tool for fixing bearings contains: a fixer, a rotary bar, and a plurality of positioning paws. The fixer includes a threaded hole and plural slots, one end of an inner wall of each slot communicates with the threaded hole, and each positioning paw is mounted on each slot. The fixer also includes a plurality of springs, each being fixed on each slot and each positioning paw has a stepped abutting rib and a tilted guiding face. The rotary bar includes a screwing section for screwing with the threaded hole, and the rotary bar also includes a conical contacting segment formed on a first end thereof and inserting through the threaded hole, wherein the contacting segment abuts against the tilted guiding face, after the rotary bar is screwed, such that each positioning paw is pushed by the contacting segment to expand outwardly.

A shrink-clamping cooling device for a cooling of, in particular previously heated, tool holders comprises at least one cooling element which forms a cooling region for creating a heat-conductive contact with the tool holder that is to be cooled, wherein that the cooling element comprises a contact switch, which is configured to detect at least a laying-in, and in particular a presence and/or a taking-out, of the tool holder that is to be cooled in the cooling region/out of the cooling region.

An appliance for heat treatment or inductive heating or cooling of shrink chucks for shaft-type tools or a shrinkage appliance or cooling appliance or shrinkage appliance with a cooling appliance, includes a receiving device or opening receiving a shrink chuck, a heat treatment unit surrounding the receiving device relative to a central axis, an induction coil arrangement or cooling unit, and a measuring unit for temperature measurement of the shrink chuck. For exactly measuring shell temperatures of chucks in receiving openings, the measuring unit has temperature sensors around the receiving device or one temperature sensor inclined around the central axis for contactless detection of the shell temperature, or the measuring unit has sensors around the receiving device including a first temperature sensor for contactless detection of a shell temperature, and a different type of second sensor for detecting another property of the shrink chuck in the receiving device.

A task of insertion of a tool is continued even when the insertion of the tool is failed in a shrink fitting method. A shrink fitting system for shrink-fitting a tool to a holder includes: a heating device that heats the holder; an insertion device that inserts the tool into the heated holder; and a control device for the shrink fitting system. The insertion device includes a sensor that detects a failure of insertion of the tool into the holder. Based on the failure of the insertion of the tool into the holder being detected, the control device performs at least one of outputting, to the insertion device, a command for adjusting an insertion position of the tool or for replacing the tool and outputting, to the heating device, a command for re-heating the holder.
