A jig system with hydraulic expansion clamp mechanism for clamping a work piece includes a plate that is manufactured integrally as one piece using three-dimensional printing. The plate is formed with an expansion chamber that is defined by a surrounding wall for allowing the work piece to extend therethrough, an inlet that is fluidly connected to a hydraulic source that supplies pressurized fluid, and a passage that is fluidly connected to the inlet and the expansion chamber. When pressurized fluid is supplied into the passage from the inlet, the expansion chamber is caused to expand and move the surrounding wail inwardly into contact with the work piece.

The invention relates to a hydraulic tool mount having a bore into which a sealing piston is inserted, wherein the sealing piston comprises a pin, a seal and a head which are arranged one behind the other in an axial direction (A) and thus form a stack, wherein the seal comprises a circumferential sealing lip for abutment and sealing against an inner wall of the bore in order to achieve a first sealing effect, and the bore comprises a sealing seat which, when the sealing piston is inserted, forms a stop for the head in axial direction (A), so that, in an end position of the sealing piston, the head abuts the sealing seat and thereby closes the bore in order to achieve a second sealing effect. The invention further relates to a corresponding sealing piston.

A pushing structure of a clamping mechanism is disclosed which comprises a working platform and a chuck. The working platform has a clamping shaft inserted in the chuck, and the chuck has a piston seat and a movable seat at a center of the piston seat for an insertion of the clamping shaft. The chuck further comprises a base at a bottom of the piston seat corresponding to the movable seat and a projection at a bottom of the base. The projection provides an upward push force to the working platform when the piston seat is lifted to release the clamping shaft of the working platform.

A cylinder case includes a first main path communicating first port with an end surface, a second main path communicating a second port with the end surface, first and second front chamber paths respectively communicating a front chamber with the end surface, and first and second rear chamber paths respectively communicating a rear chamber with the end surface. A manifold block includes a first intermediate path communicating first and second manifold holes opened in an abutting surface with each other and a second intermediate path communicating third and fourth manifold holes opened in the abutting surface. The manifold block configured to be attached and fixed to the cylinder case such that the abutting surface is abutted against the end surface and a relative position of the abutting surface with respect to the end surface portion is capable of being selected from a first position and a second position.

A pushing structure of a clamping mechanism is disclosed which comprises a working platform and a chuck. The working platform has a clamping shaft inserted in the chuck, and the chuck has a piston seat and a movable seat at a center of the piston seat for an insertion of the clamping shaft. The chuck further comprises a base at a bottom of the piston seat corresponding to the movable seat and a projection at a bottom of the base. The projection provides an upward push force to the working platform when the piston seat is lifted to release the clamping shaft of the working platform.

A drive system for driving a chuck device includes a controller and a switching valve, which is a 5-port servo valve, switching the state of supply of compressed air to the chuck device based on a valve command signal from the controller. During switching of first and second fingers from a closed position to an open position, when the axial position of a piston reaches a switch point, which is a predetermined distance short of a target position corresponding to a freely selected intermediate position of the first and second fingers, the switching valve is opened at a third opening for a predetermined period and then switched to be opened at a fourth opening so that supply and discharge of compressed air are stopped. As a result, the first and second fingers stop in the intermediate position.

A counter bearing for machining spindles of machine tools has at least one expansion bushing with an elastically deformable wall that delimits at least one pressure chamber. The pressure chamber accommodates a pressure medium. A supply line for the pressure medium opens into the pressure chamber. A pressure conduit opens into the pressure chamber. A mechanically actuatable pressure element is disposed in the pressure conduit and actuated by an actuating tool. A piston is slidably arranged in the pressure conduit and actuated by the pressure element, wherein the piston loads the pressure medium.

[Object] To provide a main-shaft and holder combination, a holder, and a machine tool which prevent a hydraulic fluid from leaking when the holder is detached from the main shaft, in a configuration for feeding the hydraulic fluid from the main shaft to the holder.

[Solution Means] A main shaft fluid passage A30 is provided at a center of a spindle 25 and a main shaft check valve A11 is attached, and a holder fluid passage A32 is provided at a center of a holder 22 and a holder check valve A17 is attached. At a main shaft cylinder 23 position away from the spindle 25, a main shaft fluid passage B11 and a holder fluid passage B48 are provided, and a main shaft check valve B39 and a holder check valve B40 are attached. When the holder 25 is attached to the spindle 25, the main shaft check valve A11 (B39) and the holder check valve A17 (B40) are connected.

A hydraulic chuck device includes a cylinder portion operated by pressure oil, a chuck opened and closed by operation of the cylinder portion, a pressure oil supply controlling pressure of pressure oil supplied to the cylinder portion, and a chuck controller controlling the pressure oil supply. When controlling the pressure oil supply to cause a jaw portion to perform a clamping operation, during movement of the jaw portion from an unclamping position to a preliminary position situated before a clamping position, the chuck controller supplies pressure oil set at a first pressure into a cylinder chamber for clamping to move the jaw portion quickly, and during movement of the jaw portion from the preliminary position to the clamping positon, the chuck controller supplies pressure oil set at a second pressure lower than the first pressure into the cylinder chamber for clamping to move the jaw portion slowly.

The invention relates to an expansion clamping sleeve (6) comprising a sleeve body (30) having a tool receptacle (24) for a chipping tool, wherein the sleeve body (30) is expanded in a longitudinal direction (10) as well as in a radial direction (20) transverse to the longitudinal direction (10), wherein the sleeve body (30) comprises a pressure membrane (44) delimiting a hydraulic chamber (40) in the sleeve body (30), and wherein the sleeve body (30) comprises a receptacle (46) for a mechanical actuator (48) for activating the pressure membrane (44). In addition, the invention relates to a hydraulic expansion clamping chuck (2) having such an expansion clamping sleeve (6).
