A tool holder for a cutting tool having a tool shank includes a receptacle which extends in an axial direction and a sleeve disposed in the receptacle. The sleeve includes a tool receptacle structured to at least partially receive the tool shank and a blocking element that projects radially into the tool receptacle. The axial positioning of the sleeve is adjustable with respect to the receptacle.

The application relates to hydraulic expansion chucks (1) for accommodating a machining tool (0), comprising a main chuck body (2) with a substantially cylindrical cavity (21), and comprising a bushing (3) with a first portion (31) and a second portion (32), wherein the entire first portion (31) is located within the cavity (21) of the main chuck body (2), while the entire second portion (31) is located outside the cavity (21) of the main chuck body (2).

A hydraulic expansion chuck for accommodating a machining tool, comprising a main chuck body that has a first chuck portion for fastening to a chuck connection as well as a second chuck portion for clamping the machining tool, wherein the second chuck portion includes a substantially cylindrical cavity, and wherein at least a first chamber and a second chamber for holding a fluid are arranged within the second chuck portion in such a way as so peripherally surround at least some sections of the cavity, and said first chamber and second chamber are designed in such a way as to bulge and reduce a cross-section of the cavity in at least some sections when the pressurized fluid is admitted into the chambers, the first chamber and the second chamber being positioned at an angle to one another.

An ultrasonic machining module that includes an ultrasonic transducer, wherein the ultrasonic transducer is adapted to receive a machining tool and a vibration-isolating housing adapted to be both compatible with a machining system and to receive the ultrasonic transducer therein, wherein the housing further includes at least one modification for isolating all vibrations generated by the ultrasonic transducer when the device is in operation except axial vibrations transmitted to the machining tool, thereby preventing unwanted vibrations from traveling backward or upward into the machining system. The ultrasonic machining module may also include an acoustically tuned collet and/or an acoustically tuned system for delivering coolant fluid through the module to a machining tool or target substrate.

A rotatable chuck for clamping a shank portion of a rotatably operating machining tool includes a rotatable chuck body provided with a cylindrical bore concentric with a rotation axis of the chuck body. The circumferential surfaces of a clamping portion of the bore are arranged to apply a clamping force around the circumference of the shank portion of the tool when it is mounted in the chuck to fixate the tool in the chuck. The chuck is provided with auxiliary pull out preventing means for preventing inadvertent pull out of the tool in the axial direction of the bore during machining operation, as well as auxiliary rotary preventing means for preventing inadvertent rotation in at least one direction in relation to the chuck during machining operation. The auxiliary pull out and rotary preventing means include an attachment member positionable in an inner portion of the bore and attachable to the shank portion to be clamped, such that the tool and the attachment member will be prevented from being pulled apart in the axial direction and from being rotated in at least one direction in relation to each other.

A device for hydraulically clamping tools or workpieces, a tool holder or workpiece holder for short, has a clamping portion for clamping a tool or workpiece. An interior of the clamping portion has a plurality of chambers which are connected in fluidic communication by way of a channel system. In order to be able to change, in particular increase, the dynamic rigidity of the hydraulically clampable tool/workpiece holder, a central throttle point is arranged in the channel system. The central throttle point has an adjustment element with which a flow cross section in the central throttle point can be changed.

A tool holder comprising a base element, a deformable receiver for clamping a tool and at least one locking element configured for preventing an axial extraction of the tool from the tool holder through engaging a corresponding opposite element at the tool, wherein the at least one locking element is integrally configured in one piece with the receiver.

A hydraulic expanding chuck for receiving and clamping a tool with a shank. The hydraulic expanding chuck has a main body, which on an axial side has a clamping section that extends along a longitudinal central axis of the expanding chuck and has a clamping part lying in a neck region and in which are formed a central receiving opening for receiving a tool shank and a chamber system to which a fluid pressure can be applied. The chamber system comprises at least one pressure chamber, which is separated from the receiving opening in the radial direction by an expansion wall yielding elastically under the fluid pressure, and which can be supplied with fluid pressure by means of at least one axial pressure channel running from a piston clamping mechanism accommodated in a clamping region of the hydraulic expanding chuck.

The invention relates to a hydraulic expansion chuck comprising a main body (1) that extends along a rotational or longitudinal central axis (2) and is composed of a shaft part (20), for directly or indirectly coupling the hydraulic expansion chuck to a module of a modular tool system or to a machine spindle, and a clamping part (30), joined to the shaft part in a rotationally and axially fixed manner for receiving and clamping a shank tool. The shaft part comprises a receiving socket which extends towards the clamping part and has a central socket-opening in which a connection pin (31) of the clamping part, which pin extends towards the shaft part, is form-fittingly received. According to the invention, the clamping part comprises a stop which is radially offset from the connection pin and axially strikes the receiving socket.
