What is provided is a hydraulic expansion chuck (1) with a central clamping opening extending along a longitudinal central axis (5) for receiving and clamping a tool shank and a pressure chamber, which surrounds the clamping opening and to which pressurized fluid can be applied, and which is delimited from the clamping opening by means of a radially elastically deformable dividing wall (34). A plurality of expansion joints (38), which are distributed around the clamping opening and which extend along the longitudinal central axis (5) and which are open towards the clamping opening and closed towards the pressure chamber, are formed in the dividing wall (34).

The present invention provides a fluidic clamping device (100) comprising a sleeve (110) for clamping and holding a movable part (200). The sleeve (110) comprises a central element (111) having a cross-section in a longitudinal direction of the central element (111), comprising a cavity configured to receive the movable part (200). The fluidic clamping device (100) is characterized in that the sleeve (110) further comprises at least one chamber (112) disposed on an outer periphery of the central element (111) and extending along a longitudinal direction of the central element (111), the at least one chamber (112) configured to containing a fluid, wherein the fluidic clamping device (100) is configured to pressurize an interior of the at least one chamber (112) with a first predetermined fluidic pressure or a second predetermined fluidic pressure, wherein the first predetermined fluidic pressure is lower than the second predetermined fluidic pressure, and wherein the central element (111) is configured to be in frictional contact with the movable part (200) at at least a portion of an inner periphery of the central element (111) and to clamp and hold the movable part (200) in a first state in which the interior of the at least one chamber (112) is pressurized with the first fluidic pressure, and wherein the central element (111) is configured not to be in frictional contact with the movable part (200) at any portion of the inner periphery of the central element (111) in a second state in which the interior of the at least one chamber (112) is pressurized with the second fluidic pressure.

Utilities supplied through a first utility path of a turning tool holder via a docking device is supplied to a second utility path of an adjacent rotating tool holder through a communication arrangement, there is no need to provide a complex hydraulic line, a pneumatic line and a coupler for receiving the utilities from the docking device at a rearward side of the rotating tool holder. A rearward size of the rotating tool holder may be minimized, so that even when the rotating tool holder is mounted on the turret, no interference occurs with the docking device in the rearward direction when the turret rotates. As a result, it is possible to use the rotating tool holder, to which utilities supply is necessary, even in the turret which is provide with the docking device.
