Clamping device

摘要

The device has an elastic clamping element arranged and formed in such a manner that a curvature of a membrane (7) is changed by applying force to the clamping element. The change of the curvature of the membrane causes a change of distance of a clamping section (8) of an inner cylinder or a clamping section (22) of an outer cylinder (6) or the membrane relative to a spindle (3). The spindle is clamped by the clamping element by the application of force to the clamping element or clamping of the spindle is released.
