A hydraulic expanding chuck having a main body which extends along a rotational axis and has a clamping part for receiving and clamping a shank tool and a shank part having a hollow shank for directly or indirectly coupling the hydraulic expanding chuck to a module of a modular tool system or to a machine spindle. The clamping part has a central receiving opening and, around the receiving opening, at least one pressure chamber to which fluid pressure can be applied and which is separated from the receiving opening via an elastically yielding expansion wall and is connected via a pressure duct to a pressure-generating device situated in the main body. The pressure-generating device is arranged axially in the region between the receiving opening and the hollow shank in a central cut-out, which is coaxial with the receiving opening and which opens into the hollow shank.

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 wall inwardly into contact with the work piece.

A tool holder is configured for rotation about a tool holder axis of rotation defining an axial direction. The tool holder, at one axial longitudinal end thereof, has a tool section with a tool-receiving formation for receiving a tool and, at the opposite axial longitudinal end, has a coupling section with a coupling formation for torque-transmitting coupling to a machine spindle of a machine tool. A measuring apparatus is configured for acquiring data relating to the operation of the tool holder. The measuring apparatus has a sensor, in particular an acceleration sensor, with at least two measurement axes. The two measurement axes are oriented substantially radially with respect to the tool holder axis of rotation.

An expansion clamping device includes a base body and an expansion socket. The expansion socket is inserted into the base body to form a pressure chamber. The pressure chamber can be applied with a hydraulic medium while elastically deforming the expansion socket, in order to achieve a clamping effect in a receiving space which is open in the axial direction of the base body towards a face side and is surrounded by the expansion socket in the circumferential direction. The expansion socket has an elastically deformable clamping section and a collar projecting outwardly in the radial direction on the face side. The expansion socket bears with a bearing surface of the collar in the axial direction against a contact surface of a contact shoulder of the base body and, at least in the region of the bearing surface, is firmly connected, in particular by a material bond, to the base body. The clamping section transitions into the collar in a transition region, a recess being formed in the expansion socket in the transition region in such a way that the transition region overlaps over the contact shoulder of the base body in regions, the bearing surface of the expansion socket bearing against the contact surface in a radially outer contact region thereof, and the contact surface having a radially inner free region adjacent to the contact region, in which free region the expansion socket does not bear against the contact surface.

A truing device includes a housing and a truing mandrel (1) with a shaft (10) used to mount a circular tool having a concentric opening, in particular a grinding disc (3), and with a first bearing (11) fixed on the housing (4) and located in a first end region of the truing mandrel (1) The shaft (10) includes a hydraulic clamping device (20) having a chamber (21) containing hydraulic medium, to which a pre-clamping pressure can be applied with a preclamping element (23) The hydraulic clamping device is formed from a clamping section (22) lying above the chamber (21) in the radial direction and held in the shaft on both sides. The outer surface of the clamping section forms the clamping surface and which, when the hydraulic pressure in the chamber (21) increases, can be reversibly moved or bent outwards in the radial direction such that a radial clamping force can be exerted on the inner surface of the concentric opening of the circular tool penetrated by the clamping section (22). A method provides for mounting and removing a circular tool on the truing mandrel of a truing device of this kind.

The invention relates to a hydraulic expanding chuck for gripping a tool, for example a drill or a milling tool, comprising: a clamping part having an expansion sleeve having a central receiving opening for receiving and clamping the tool; and a connection part, in particular having a HSK connection. According to the invention, the expansion sleeve has at least two pressure chambers, which are designed to run around the central receiving opening, which are arranged at an axial distance relative to one another, and which can bulge when the tool received in the central receiving opening is subjected to fluid pressure. The at least two pressure chambers are connected to one another by a fluid channel.

The invention relates to an expansion clamping device having a main body (2) and an expansion sleeve (5) which is inserted into the main body (2) or surrounds the body, forming a pressure chamber (8), the pressure chamber (8) being capable of being acted upon by a hydraulic medium with resilient deformation of the expansion sleeve (5). The expansion sleeve (5) is integrally fixed to the main body (2) at the front axial end region (16) and/or at the rear axial end region (17) of the pressure chamber (8) via a friction-welded connection (14).

A tool holder (100) for holding a tool (200) has pressurizing chambers (123a, 123b) provided between a body member inner peripheral surface (111) of a body member (110) and a sleeve outer peripheral surface (122) of a sleeve (120). Grip parts (124a, 124b) are provided between the sleeve outer peripheral surface and a sleeve inner peripheral surface (121) and are elastically deformed radially inward when pressure in the pressurizing chambers is increased. An extended chamber (123d) is defined between the sleeve outer peripheral surface and the body member inner peripheral surface, fluidly communicates with the pressurizing chamber and extends in an axial direction and in a circumferential direction. The extended chamber curtails radially inward elastic deformation of a portion of the body member inner peripheral surface, which corresponds to one of the grip parts, when a pressing force is received on a body member outer peripheral surface (112).

An adapter sleeve is described for inserting into an expansion chuck of a cutting device with a substantially cylindrical body that defines a longitudinal axis (L) of the adapter sleeve and a seat area for a cutting tool. The body comprises an axial front end and an axial rear end opposite the front end by means of which the adapter sleeve can be inserted into the expansion chuck of the cutting device. An outlet element is provided at the axial front end through which a coolant can be discharged toward the cutting tool. At least one cooling line extends along the body up to the outlet element and comprises a body line section and an outlet element section. At least one channel-like outlet nozzle is formed in the outlet element and is in fluidic connection with the at least one cooling line. The flow cross-section of the cooling line decreases or remains the same toward the axial front end. In addition, a cutting device is described.

The modular clamping device includes a clamping element and a first intermediate piece. In the method, a first intermediate piece assembly (22) is provided having a plurality of prefabricated, standardized first standard intermediate pieces. The first intermediate piece (210) is selected from the first intermediate piece assortment (22). The clamping element is fabricated, and the first intermediate piece is positioned relative to the clamping element such that the first intermediate piece is positioned axially between the spindle head and the clamping element when the clamping device is mounted to the spindle head.
