A clamp device is provided which is operable with extreme ease for clamping and unclamping a rotary shaft portion under remote control and which is capable of exerting a great clamping force and unlikely to displace the shaft axis. The clamp device includes a fixed sleeve (10) radially elastically deformable, rotatably supporting the shaft portion (7) and having a tapered surface (12) over a periphery thereof on the opposite side of a shaft supporting portion (11) thereof, a rotatable clamp member (17) having a tapered surface fitting to the sleeve tapered surface (12) with rollers (15) provided therebetween, the rollers being arranged as inclined with respect to the axis of the sleeve, and a drive unit (23) for rotating the clamp member.
