Abstract

A chuck device includes: a cylindrical chuck including a first contact part on a first side and a second contact part on a second side, and configured to hold a bar-like workpiece; a tubular outer cylinder including a restriction part configured to restrict axial movement of the chuck by abutting on the first contact part; and a sleeve provided in an axially movable manner on the inner peripheral side of the outer cylinder, and including, on the first side, a pressing part axially driven to abut on the second contact part. The chuck includes a first tapered face in the first contact part, and a second tapered face in the second contact part. A first angle between the first tapered face and a center axis is equivalent to a second angle between the first tapered face and the center axis, or is smaller than the second angle.

Claims (16)

1. A chuck device comprising:

a cylindrical chuck formed so that at least a part in an axial direction is circumferentially divided, including a first contact part on a first side in the axial direction and a second contact part on a second side opposite to the first side, and configured to hold a bar-like workpiece;

a tubular outer cylinder covering an outer peripheral side of the chuck, and including, on the first side, a restriction part configured to restrict axial movement of the chuck by abutting on the first contact part; and

a sleeve provided in an axially movable manner on an inner peripheral side of the outer cylinder, and including, on the first side, a pressing part axially driven to abut on the second contact part, wherein

a movement-restricting tapered face is formed in the restriction part of the outer cylinder,

a pressing tapered face is formed in the pressing part of the sleeve,

the chuck includes, in the first contact part, a first tapered face whose outer diameter reduces toward an end on the first side, and includes, in the second contact part, a second tapered face whose outer diameter reduces toward an end on the second side,

the first tapered face includes at least two tapered face parts,

angles respectively formed between the at least two tapered face parts and the center axis of the chuck are different from each other, and

each of the at least two tapered face parts abuts on the movement-restricting tapered face.

2. The chuck device according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least two tapered face parts includes a first tapered face part and a second tapered face part positioned closer to the second side than the first tapered face part, and

an angle between the second tapered face part and the center axis is smaller than an angle between the first tapered face part and the center axis.

3. The chuck device according to claim 2 , wherein

the first tapered face includes a third tapered face part closer to the first side than the first tapered face part, and

an angle between the third tapered face part and the center axis is larger than the angle between the first tapered face part and the center axis.
