Abstract:
The present invention relates to an actuating device ( 10 ) for actuating jaws ( 12 ) of a steady rest ( 11 ), which jaws can be used for clamping or supporting a workpiece ( 13 ). The actuating device comprises a carrier ( 18 ) with a mounting side ( 20 ) to which the steady rest ( 11 ) can be mounted. An outer end ( 27 b ) of an actuating part ( 27 ) projects away from the mounting side ( 20 ) of the carrier ( 18 ) and comprises a connecting arrangement ( 29 ) as the interface for the connection with an input part ( 14 ) of the steady rest ( 11 ). An inner end ( 27 c ) of the actuating part ( 27 ) is movably coupled with a piston ( 35 ) of a pneumatic cylinder ( 36 ) via a coupling arrangement ( 34 ). The coupling arrangement  34  comprises a slide ( 40 ) that is immovably connected to the piston ( 35 ), said slide having on it at least one slotted gate ( 44 ). The slotted gate ( 44 ) defines a gate path oriented obliquely to longitudinal direction L and to height direction H, along which gate path the at least one gate element ( 46 ) can be guided in a movable manner. The gate element is connected to the inner end ( 27 c ) of the actuating part ( 27 ).

Claim (Index 30):
Actuating device according to  claim 16 , wherein the at least one slotted gate has two gate surfaces extending parallel to each other, said gate surfaces defining the gate path and having the associated gate element arranged between them.
