ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic chuck for a drill string has a hydraulic actuator to operate the jaws. The actuator remains stationery while the spindle is rotated and a pair of skirts attached to the actuator cover the bearing assemblies. The jaws are supported in slots in the spindle and are part cylindrical to reduce stress in the spindle. The chuck is secured to a drive unit by bolts received in open slots in an attachment flange to facilitate attachment of the chuck after routine maintenance.
