ABSTRACT:
A gear reducing collet nut assembly is provided for holding a tool bit. The assembly includes an outer grip sleeve that can be rotated to actuate a clamping structure with a bore for holding a tool bit. More specifically, the assembly includes a planetary gear system to amplify torque from the grip sleeve to facilitate effective manual operation. The assembly includes a base member that is securable to a shaft of a rotary power tool, and the planetary gears are rotatably mounted at a plurality of positions on the base member. The planetary gears are driven by a central sun gear that is fixed to the grip sleeve. The planetary gears deliver torque to a ring gear that extends peripherally around the planetary gears. Movement of the ring gear is effective to actuate the clamping structure. In an embodiment, an exterior of the ring gear is threaded to the base member and axially fixed relative to the grip sleeve. As a result, rotation of the outer sleeve causes axial translation of the sun gear, which has a tapered surface that acts against the clamping structure to selectively constrain or release a tool from an axial bore in the clamping structure.
