The Powerhouse of Hydraulic Expansion Toolholders Is the TENDO-ES
The SCHUNK TENDO-ES, is an extremely short hydraulic expansion toolholder, which allows the tool to be clamped directly in the mounting taper. This way, the tool shank is supported via the spindle. The result is the highest holding forces for transferable high torques and a great deal of additional space in the machining area. The TENDOS-ES L1 is 26.0 mm, has a run-out accuracy of less than 0.003...
