Compensation device and clamping device for workpieces equipped with a compensation device of this type

A compensation device (10) for the flat-compensated clamping of a workpiece, said workpiece comprising a toothed workpiece or a workpiece to be toothed, the clamping being carried out via a clamping device (100) defining a clamping axis (X), said workpiece having an axis of rotation and abutting a contact surface (1) of the compensation device with a flat side, the workpiece axis of rotation being coaxially centered to the clamping axis (X) when the clamping device (100) is actuated, and any deviations arising therefrom of the abutting flat side from an orthogonality to the workpiece axis of rotation being compensated by a deflection movement carried out at the compensation device (10),

• characterized in that the contact surface (1) has at least three contact areas (1a, 1b, 1c) spaced apart from one another and the deflection movement comprises an axial movement of the contact areas (1a, 1b, 1c),
• wherein axially rigid areas (3a, 3b, 3c) are formed between the contact areas (1a, 1b, 1c) and
• wherein the contact areas (1a, 1b, 1c) project axially relative to an axial height level of the rigid areas (3a, 3b, 3c) and
• wherein the position of one contact area (1a, 1b, 1c) remains unaffected by a deflection movement carried out at another contact area (1b, 1c;
• 1a, 1c;
• 1a, 1b).
