Mounting tool for hydromechanical chuck

Abstract

A mounting tool for a hydromechanical chuck or mandrel of the type which is clamp connected using a pressure medium in order to clamp connecting a shaft or a shaft tool or a working piece, and in which said shaft or working piece is dismantled from the chuck, and which chuck using a pressure medium in the opposite direction, and which chuck is formed with two separate pressure chambers, a first chamber acting as a clamp connection chamber, and a second chamber acting as a dismantling chamber, which chambers are formed with inlets/outlets provided on opposite sides of the chuck and opening at the periphery thereof. The mounting tool is formed as a yoke (2) adapted to stridingly engage the chuck or mandrel to be actuated, said yoke having a first leg (4) formed with a fixed nozzle (8) and the second leg (5) formed with an axially displaceable nozzle (9), both nozzles adapted to engage the two opposite inlets/outlets of the chuck to be activated, and each leg (4, 5) formed with a passageway (6, 7) for directing pressure medium into and out of the nozzle (8, 9). The yoke (2) is substantially U-shaped having the legs thereof (4, 5) so widely spaced as to be able to engage differently wide chucks.
