German to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Milling machine/balancing

Spanndorn Da es sogar Auswuchtdorne / balancing arbors gibt, würde ich hier wahrscheinlich stark zu arbor tendieren

Mandrel/arbor

According to the reference below, the two terms are often used interchangeably. I think either would be fine, however if you do need to make a distinction, I understood the difference to be as follows:

- A mandrel is a shaft or spindle to which work is fixed while being turned.
- An arbor is an axle or spindle on which something (a tool) revolves.

collet (chuck)

Wenn das Werkstück eine Bohrung oder Innenkontur hat, wird der Spanndorn eingelegt. Mit einer Schraube oder auch hydraulisch wird der Dorn jetzt fest auf gespreizt, so dass er das Werkstück sicher hält. Der Spanndorn überträgt nun die Drehung der Spindel auf das Werkstück. http://www.metalltechnik-lexikon.de/spanndorn/

A collet /ˈkɒlᵻt/ is a subtype of chuck that forms a collar around an object to be held and exerts a strong clamping force on the object when it is tightened, usually by means of a tapered outer collar. It may be used to hold a workpiece or a tool. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collet
