Abstract
Tool spindle with a moveable pulling rod (3) axially displaceable in the spindle axle (1) for firmly attaching a tool at the axle of the spindle. The end (10) of the pulling rod (3) that is opposite to the tool extends into a unit (4) that accommodates the end of the pulling rod and that is stationary in relation to the rotation of the pulling rod, that the pulling rod (3) is provided with a piston (11) accommodated in a cylinder chamber (13) arranged in the spindle axle (1) and having at least a first (12b) and a second (12a) axial bore of which the first bore (12b) opens in the cylinder chamber (13) on one side of the piston (11) and the second bore (12a) opens in the cylinder chamber (13) on the other side of the piston (11). The first bore (12b) is put under pressure with fluid via the unit (4) to displace the piston (11) and thereby the pulling rod (3) in one direction to attach firmly the tool at the tool spindle, and the second bore (12a) is put under pressure with fluid via the unit (4) to displace the piston (11) and thereby the pulling rod (3) in the other direction to detach the tool. The spindle axle (1) for its cooling and that of a rotor (22) attached on to it, is pro…
