CHUCK ADAPTED FOR AUTOMATED COUPLING

摘要

A chuck for clamping workpieces or tools in a clamping space with a clamping force (F). The chuck includes at least two chuck jaws movable in translation along one clamping plane (E) in the direction of one center Z of the clamping space and a gear train located at least largely within the chuck for transfer of a driving torque of a drive motor, which can be coupled to the gear train by coupling means of the gear train, to the chuck jaws for movement of the chuck jaws. The coupling means able to be coupled to a corresponding coupling connection of the drive motor. The movement from the maximum size of the clamping space to the minimum size of the clamping space is executed via the gear train from the drive motor.

1. A chuck for clamping of workpieces or tools in a clamping space with a clamping force, the chuck comprising:
at least two chuck jaws moveable in translation along a clamping plane in a direction of a center of the clamping space, the clamping space defined by faces of the chuck jaws; and a torque transfer member including coupling means, said torque transfer member located at least largely within the chuck for transferring a driving torque produced by a drive member which can be coupled to the torque transfer member by the coupling means to drive movement of the chuck jaws, wherein the clamping space is changeable solely by operation of the drive member via the torque transfer member and movement of the at least two chucks, the at least two chuck jaws moveable between a position defining a clamping space having a maximum size and a position defining a clamping space having a minimum size, wherein the coupling means of the torque transfer member is able to be coupled by automation to a corresponding coupling connection of the drive member, and wherein an opening width between the at least two chuck jaws and/or the clamping force is directly adjustable by operation of the drive member.
