Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clamping mechanism technology, specifically to a lead screw clamping mechanism for a machine tool tailstock. Background Technology

[0002] In existing lead screw clamping mechanisms, clamping springs and disc springs are mostly installed at the lead screw nut and lead screw seat, moving with the tailstock or slide plate. However, after the tailstock or slide plate is equipped with a protective device, the pressure adjustment and sensing device is hidden inside the protective cover, making it difficult to observe, adjust, and maintain. When adjusting the clamping force, the protective device must be removed, which increases the complexity of operation. Furthermore, the clamping force adjustment device moves with the nut and cannot adjust the clamping force in real time. It can only estimate the compression amount when the machine is stopped, and repeatedly adjust it, which increases the difficulty and time of adjustment. Utility Model Content
