Hydro mechanical clamping device

Abstract

Hydromechanical clamping device, in particular in the form of a chuck or a mandrel, preferably intended to be, with one end thereof, mounted in a machining device, such as a drilling machine, a milling machine, a lathe machine etc., and with the other end to releasably hold a tool, such as a drill, a milling tool, a rotary saw blade, a grinding roll a work piece, a transition element etc., the clamping device comprising an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve. The inner sleeve and the outer sleeve encloses at least one chamber in which a clamping means in the shape of an annular piston is enclosed, which piston by means of hydraulically operating means is displaceable in the axial direction, wherein the piston and the inner sleeve and/or the outer sleeve have interacting conical surfaces which at axial displacement of the piston in one direction cause radial compression of the inner sleeve for clamping the tool. At axial displacement of the piston in the other direction the tool is released.
