1. A chuck device, comprising:
a chuck body that has a tapered hole radially inside and at a front end thereof, the chuck body having at an outer surface thereof:
a chuck fitting portion that is located at the front end;a chuck screw portion that has a screw thread having an outer diameter which is larger than that of the chuck fitting portion; anda chuck tapered surface that is inclined with an angle with respect to an axial direction of the chuck body, having an outer diameter that decreases in the axial direction toward the front end from a rear end of the chuck body, the outer diameter being larger that that of the chuck screw portion, whereinthe chuck fitting portion, the chuck screw portion and the chuck tapered surface are arranged in this order in the axial direction from the front end to the rear end; a collet that has an outer shape corresponding to the tapered hole of the chuck body and that is configured to hold a tool inside; and a nut that has a hollow space radially inside, the nut having in the hollow space:
a nut fitting portion that has an inner diameter which is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the chuck fitting portion;a nut screw portion that has a screw thread having an inner diameter which is larger than that of the nut fitting portion, and is configured to engage with the chuck screw portion; anda nut tapered surface that is inclined with an angle with respect to the axial direction, having an inner diameter that decreases in the axial direction toward the front end, the inner diameter being larger than that of the nut screw portion, whereinthe nut fitting portion, the nut screw portion and the nut tapered surface are arranged in this order in the axial direction from the front end to the rear end, wherein when the nut is attached to the chuck body accommodating the collet in the tapered hole of the chuck body, the nut fitting portion meets the chuck fitting portion making a first contact point, and the nut tapered surface meets the chuck tapered surface making a second contact point so that the nut is supported by the chuck body at two points, further the angle of the nut tapered surface corresponds to the angle of the chuck tapered surface and a nut rear end portion, which is at the rear end of the nut and includes the nut tapered surface, is deflectable in a radial direction of the chuck body so that the nut tapered surface is in contact with the chuck tapered surface and slidable on the surface of the chuck tapered surface while the nut is further screwed, causing a radially inward force to secure the chuck body. |
