A retention knob tool. A tubular body, is held in the tubular sleeve, and symmetrically formed around an axis. The tubular body also has an internal bore. Four locking ball retainer sockets are formed in the tubular body. A retention knob aperture is recessed within a top plate. Four balls are movably held in the ball retainer sockets. A tubular end stop is affixed to the tubular body rearward end. A drive tool cavity is recessed within the tubular body rearward end. The sleeve forward end includes a recessed circumferential portion bounded by a first thicker portion of the inside wall, where the first thicker portion bears against the balls when the tubular body is translated rearwardly into an inward lock position and the inward force is removed from the plurality of balls when the tubular body is extended forwardly into a release position.

A device for the quick change of tool holder adapters, especially for use on CNC machine tools such as multi-spindle or single-spindle lathes, turning and milling centres, transfer machine tools, for orienting and clamping the different tool holder shanks in the appropriate seats of the rotating and non-rotating shafts present in the mechanical bodies such as motorised or non-motorised tool holders, multiple or single, comprising a tool holder shank of truncated-cone shape designed to fit, starting from its smaller diameter rear part, into a complementary housing made in the rotating shaft of a motorised module. On the smaller diameter rear face of the tool holder shank a milling cut is made configured to accommodate at least one removable insert which protrudes partly frontally in the direction of a recess made on the back wall of the tapered seat of the rotating shaft of the motorized module.

A cutter holder has a body and a retention knob connected to the body by threading. The body has a connecting hole having an internal threaded segment and a straight segment. The retention knob has a head, an abutting portion, and an external threaded portion. The abutting portion has a flange and an extending portion. The extending portion and the straight segment are in a clearance fit, and a sealing member seals the clearance between the extending portion and the straight segment. The external threaded portion is engaged with the internal threaded segment by threading, and has a first threaded segment and a second threaded segment. The first threaded segment is away from the head of the retention knob, and a tolerance class of the second threaded segment is higher than a tolerance class of the first threaded segment.

A tool holder assembly includes a holder body, a pull stud and a flow adjustment unit. The holder body has a holder coolant channel extending through a first end and a second end thereof. The pull stud has an insertion potion, a grip portion, and a longitudinal passage extending through the insertion portion and the grip portion, and fluidly communicating with the holder coolant channel. The flow adjustment unit includes a connection tube that extends into the longitudinal passage and projects outwardly from the grip portion, a resilient member urging the connection tube to project outwardly from the grip portion, and a flow guide channel extending through the connection tube and fluidly communicating with the holder coolant channel.
