A clamping device for releasably holding a tool holder shank includes a housing, a drawbar axially moveable in a bore in the housing, engagement members moveable under the effect of the drawbar into locking engagement with the tool holder shank, and an actuating member rotatably arranged in the bore. Upon rotation of the actuating member, a contact surface on a motion transferring element fixedly connected to the actuating member achieves an axial movement of the drawbar by pressing against a contact surface on another motion transferring element fixedly connected to the drawbar. At least one of the contact surfaces includes two sections with mutually different pitch, such that the same angular displacement of the actuating member, when rotated in a first rotary direction, results in a longer axial movement of the drawbar in a first phase of the rotary movement than in a final phase thereof.

Clamping device for tool holder

A clamping device for releasably holding a tool holder shank includes a spindle rotatably mounted inside a housing. A drawbar is axially moveable in a bore in the housing between an advanced releasing position and a retracted locking position. A plurality of engagement members are moveable under the effect of the drawbar into locking engagement with the tool holder shank. An actuating member is slidably mounted to the spindle. A motion transferring mechanism is arranged for transferring an axial movement of the actuating member into a movement of the drawbar. Two or more hydraulic actuators are arranged in or mounted on the housing on different sides of the spindle and configured to move the actuating member in relation to the spindle. A connecting element forms a connection in radial direction between the actuating member and piston members of the hydraulic actuators.

A clamping device is arranged for releasably holding a tool holder shank. The clamping device includes a housing, a drawbar mounted reciprocally movable inside a bore in the housing, and an actuator. An aperture extends along an actuator axis and is delimited by an aperture housing surface and a drawbar groove. A first locking pressure applying surface on the actuator acts upon a first locking pressure receiving surface in the drawbar groove to effectuate a displacement of the drawbar when the actuator is moved along the actuator axis in a first direction, resulting in clamping of the tool holder shank.
