A clamping and/or braking device with a basic body (3) has a clamping and/or braking region for pressurizing an element (9). Basic body (3) has an actuating mechanism which, upon actuation, causes a substantially elastic deformation of the basic body (3), so that the clamping and/or braking region is moved into or out of a pressurizing position or that the pressurizing force which the clamping and/or braking region exerts on the element (9) is changed. The actuating mechanism comprises a minimum of one chamber (15), which can be pressurized and which is located on or incorporated in the basic body (3) and which is bounded at least in part by a minimum of one wall (13), at least partial regions of which are flexible but tension-proof and/or pressure-resistant. The wall (13) is connected to the basic body (3) so as to ensure that upon pressurization of the minimum of one chamber (15) forces are exerted on the basic body (3), which forces generate an essentially elastic deformation of said basic body or a change in the pressurizing force that is exerted by the clamping and/or braking region. |
