Abstract

A clamping device ( 10 ) for the axial (AR) clamping of a tool disk ( 300 ) on a flange ( 30 ) associated with a drive spindle ( 20 ) of a hand-held power tool ( 100 ), wherein the clamping device ( 100 ) has a screw ( 2 ), which is to be screwed into an internal thread ( 22 ) of the drive spindle ( 20 ) to securely clamp the tool disk ( 300 ), wherein the screw ( 2 ) is mounted in a coupling module ( 1 ) of the clamping device ( 10 ), wherein the coupling module ( 1 ) has an internal contour ( 16 ) which is paired or can be paired positively with the drive spindle ( 20 ) for conjoint rotation in the circumferential direction (U).

Claims (35)

1. A clamping device for axial clamping of a tool disk on a flange associated with a drive spindle of a hand-held power tool, the clamping device comprising:

a screw to be screwed into an internal thread of the drive spindle to securely clamp the tool disk,

a coupling module, the screw being mounted in the coupling module, the coupling module having an internal contour pairable positively with the drive spindle for conjoint rotation in the circumferential direction;

the screw being mounted in the coupling module via a rolling bearing, the rolling bearing being an angular ball bearing;

a clamping member subjectable to an axial clamping force by the coupling module in order to clamp the tool disk against the flange; and

a retaining ring, the clamping member being held on the coupling module by the retaining ring.

2. The clamping device as recited in claim 1 wherein the clamping device has a knob designed to be positively locked to the screw for conjoint rotation in the circumferential direction.

3. The clamping device as recited in claim 1 wherein the clamping member is a spring plate.

4. The clamping device as recited in claim 1 wherein the angular contact ball bearing has a contact angle of between 35 degrees and 45 degrees.

5. The clamping device as recited in claim 4 wherein the contact angle is 40 degrees.

6. The clamping device as recited in claim 1 further comprising an elastomer ring.

7. The clamping device as recited in claim 6 wherein the elastomer ring is arranged between a head of the screw and a collar of the coupling module.

8. The clamping device as recited in claim 1 further comprising a holding ring, coupling module being held on the screw via the holding ring.

9. The clamping device as recited in claim 1 further comprising a stop, a deflection of the clamping member being limited by the stop.

10. The clamping device as recited in claim 1 further comprising a diaphragm spring.

11. The clamping device as recited in claim 10 wherein the diaphragm spring is arranged between a head of the screw and a collar of the coupling module.

12. The clamping device as recited in claim 11 wherein the clamping device has a knob designed to be positively locked to the screw for conjoint rotation in the circumferential direction and wherein the diaphragm axially preloads the knob.

13. The clamping device as recited in claim 1 wherein the screw is slidable relative to the coupling module via the angular contact ball bearing to effect a radial and axial clamping.

14. A hand-held power tool comprising:

a drive spindle having an internal thread at an end;

a clamping device having a screw screwed into an internal thread of the drive spindle to securely clamp a tool disk, a coupling module, the screw being mounted in the coupling module, the coupling module having an internal contour, the screw being mounted in the coupling module via a rolling bearing, the rolling bearing being an angular ball bearing, a clamping member subjectable to an axial clamping force by the coupling module in order to clamp the tool disk against the flange, and a retaining ring, the clamping member being held on the coupling module by the retaining ring;

the drive spindle having an external contour paired positively with the internal contour for conjoint rotation in the circumferential direction.

15. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 14 further comprising a flange connectable positively to the drive spindle for conjoint rotation in the circumferential direction an anti-rotation safeguard.

16. A cutoff grinder comprising the hand-held power tool as recited in claim 14 .

17. A clamping device for axial clamping of a tool disk on a flange associated with a drive spindle of a hand-held power tool, the clamping device comprising:

a screw to be screwed into an internal thread of the drive spindle to securely clamp the tool disk,

a coupling module, the screw being mounted in the coupling module, the coupling module having an internal contour pairable positively with the drive spindle for conjoint rotation in the circumferential direction;

the screw being mounted in the coupling module via a rolling bearing, the rolling bearing being an angular ball bearing;

a clamping member subjectable to an axial clamping force by the coupling module in order to clamp the tool disk against the flange; and

a stop, a deflection of the clamping member being limited by the stop.

18. A clamping device for axial clamping of a tool disk on a flange associated with a drive spindle of a hand-held power tool, the clamping device comprising:

a screw to be screwed into an internal thread of the drive spindle to securely clamp the tool disk,

a coupling module, the screw being mounted in the coupling module, the coupling module having an internal contour pairable positively with the drive spindle for conjoint rotation in the circumferential direction;

the screw being mounted in the coupling module via a rolling bearing, the rolling bearing being an angular ball bearing; and

a diaphragm spring.
