Schunk is expanding its program for high-performance hydraulic expansion toolholders with the Tendo Aviation. This toolholder specifically focuses on demanding applications, which usually occur in the aerospace industry.

Tendo Aviation combines the strength of hydraulic expansion technology with that of Weldon toolholders. This includes high runout accuracy, a balancing grade of G 2.5 at 25,000 min-1, perfect vibration damping, and a fast tool change using an Allen key. An integrated anti-pullout mechanism ensures an orientation of the tool and form-fit clamping when using the Weldon shank. The mechanism prevents tool pullout, and positional tolerances can be held. These features allow the full potential of both tool and machine to be used.

Tendo Aviation allows maximum torque transmission at consistently high precision and process reliability. There are tremendous advantages compared to conventional Weldon and Heat Shrink toolholders, where the runout accuracy decreases over time. The runout accuracy and vibration damping of the Tendo hydraulic toolholders prevents the cutting edge from wear, extends tool life, and ensures smooth surfaces. The uniform load profile ensures a longer service life of spindle and spindle bearing.

This affordable toolholder is available for the interfaces HSK-A63, HSKA 100, CAT 40, and CAT 50.
