The patentee for the power chuck is Leifer Lorenz Albert

The power chuck (a rotating chuck that clamps workpieces on lathes and milling machines) doesn’t have a single, universally credited inventor. It evolved over time from early mechanical chucks used on lathes and milling machines, with significant advancements driven by several manufacturers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Key points:

Early chucks were developed to securely grip workpieces for high-speed, accurate machining.
The concept of self-centering chucks and hydraulically or pneumatically actuated jaws was advanced by multiple toolmakers and machine-tool manufacturers in Europe and the United States.
Notable companies in the evolution of power chucks include 3-jaw and 4-jaw designs from manufacturers like Kurt, Albrecht, R8/Rapid, and various European firms, as well as large machine tool builders who integrated power chuck systems into their lathes.
