Abstract
The device is constructed with a tensioning spindle (12), a counter-holder (14) and a carrier (30), at least the tensioning spindle (12) being mounted such that it is rotatable about the longitudinal axis, and the carrier (14) being fixed to the tensioning spindle (12) and, when the workpiece (50) is clamped between the tensioning spindle (12) and the counter-holder (14), being capable of being brought into engagement with the workpiece (50) in such a way that it transmits a rotary movement of the tensioning spindle (12) to the workpiece (50). The device furthermore provides for the carrier to have a spring element (30) which can be coupled to the workpiece (50) under prestress to transmit a torque.
Claims16
A device (10;
- 110) for clamping a workpiece (50, 50a, 50b, 50c 50d;
- 150d) on a rotatably drivable longitudinal axis having:
- a tensioning spindle (12;
- 112)
- a counter-holder (14;
- 114) and
- a carrier,
- at least the tensioning spindle (12;
- 112) being mounted such that it is rotatable about the longitudinal axis (A), and
- the carrier being fixed to the tensioning spindle (12;
- 112) and, when the workpiece (50, 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d;
- 150d) is clamped between the tensioning spindle (12;
- 112) and the counter-holder (14;
- 114), being capable of being brought into engagement with the workpiece (50, 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d;
- 150d) in such a way that it transmits a rotary movement of the tensioning spindle (12;
- 112) to the workpiece (50, 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d;
- 150d),
- the carrier having a spring element (30;
- 130),
- characterised by an adapter element (58;
- 158) which is constructed to be fixed to the workpiece (50, 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d;
- 150d) and which cooperates with the tensioning spindle (12;
- 112) to clamp the workpiece (50, 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d;
- 150d), the spring element (30;
- 130) acting on the adapter element (58, 58a, 58b, 58c, 58d;
- 158d) under prestress to transmit a torque or being capable of being brought into engagement with said adapter element.
