A tool holder having a main body for coupling the tool holder to the spindle of a machine tool and having a clamping surface connected thereto for clamping a tool, characterized in that the tool holder has at least one portion shaped in one piece by primary shaping, which in its interior has one or more cavities that form an enclave in the portion shaped by primary shaping.

A clamping assembly includes a collet adapter and an expansion sleeve movably disposed in collet adapter and a draw pin movably disposed in the expansion sleeve. The expansion sleeve cooperates with the draw pin to define a containment system configured maintain the expansion sleeve within an axial envelope and a radial envelope within the collet adapter. Axial movement of the draw pin in the expansion sleeve within the axial envelope causes a portion of the expansion sleeve to expand radially outward to a predetermined maximum diameter to releasably clamp the collet in the collet adapter.

In a component for connecting a shaft to a clamping holder that can receive a rotor, the clamping holder is able to be inserted into a cup-shaped housing and is able to be fixed there by fasteners. On the housing base of the housing is a connector for connecting the housing to the shaft in a torque-proof manner. The fasteners are arranged with their base surface on the outer lateral surface of the housing, and can be brought into engagement with the clamping holder by bores present in the housing. The fasteners have at least one recess in the base surface, such that they rest with their base surface on the outer lateral surface only in some regions.

A chucking apparatus for chucking an object contains a basic body which has a receiving space in which the object can be disposed. A chucking device is provided with a chucking nut which is screwable onto the basic body and by the chucking nut being screwed onto the basic body the object disposed in the receiving space can be chucked non-rotatably. The chucking nut has a plurality of roller bodies having a defined roller engagement structure. The roller bodies are held in an axially rotatable manner on a chucking body of the chucking nut and are arranged distributed in the circumferential direction on the chucking nut. The rollers by their roller engagement structure are in engagement with the basic body engagement structure of the basic body.

The invention relates to a clamping device for clamping a cylindrical instrument shank, in particular, a dental instrument, the clamping device including a spring-loaded element for holding the instrument shank, a hollow shaft for transmitting a rotational movement, and a plunger, with the spring-loaded element being designed as a sleeve with a cylindrical wall, a first opening and a second opening; and the wall having cut-outs. The spring-loaded element, the shaft and the plunger have axes of rotation that are arranged coaxially; the shaft protrudes at least partially into the first opening of the spring-loaded element; and the plunger protrudes at least partially into the second opening of the spring-loaded element.

A method of forming a receiver 130 comprises arranging first structures 120a in a first set 117 and second structures 120b in a second set 119 such that the first structures 120a and the second structures 120b extend within an interior space 136 of the receiver 130 in a direction normal to a longitudinal central axis 112 of the interior space 136. The method further comprises indirectly bonding the first set 117 of the first structures 120a to the second set 119 of the second structures 120b.

A cutting tool includes a tool holding system having a clamping portion. The clamping portion includes an integrally formed one-piece inner coupling member that at least partially forms a clamping sleeve portion having a clamping bore for clampingly receiving a cutting insert. The clamping portion also includes an integrally formed one-piece outer coupling member that is circumferentially disposed about at least a portion of the inner coupling member. The tool holding system also has a mounting portion that is connected to one of the inner and outer coupling members. The inner and outer coupling members are captively and non-releasably engaged with each other via inter-engaged first and second engagement surfaces that are slidingly displaceable with respect to each other.
