Abstract
A clamping system for detachably assembling two pieces. The clamping system includes a clamping device concentrically mounted in a receiving section which extends in a hollow shaft of one of the two pieces, when the two pieces are engaged. The clamping system further includes at least two clamping bodies which can move in opposite directions and an actuating device which actuates the clamping bodies. The clamping bodies can be engaged with an undercut clamping shoulder of the hollow shaft and disengaged therefrom, whereby a pressure force is applied between the flat surfaces of the two pieces to be assembled.
Claims24
A clamping system for detachably connecting two parts, of which one part has a hollow shank and the other part has a corresponding holding portion for holding the hollow shank in accurately fitting relationship, with a clamping device, which is disposed concentrically in the holding portion and which, in the joined together condition of the two parts, extends into the hollow shank of the one part and is provided with at least two clamping members which can move in opposite directions as well as with an actuating device for driving the clamping members, by means of which device the clamping member can be synchronously moved into and out of engagement with an undercut clamping shoulder of the hollow shank, whereby a pressing force is generated between plane faces of the two parts to be connected, the clamping members being constructed as head portions of elongated clamping elements, which are disposed substantially parallel to a longitudinal or rotational axis of the holding portion and foot portions of which are connected to one another, characterized in that
- the clamping elements are each provided in a region between head and foot portions with a retaining portion, which can be brought into engagement with an undercut recess of the holding portion.
A clamping system for detachably connecting two parts, said clamping system comprising:
- a first part having a hollow shank, the hollow shank having an undercut clamping shoulder;
- a second part having a holding portion configured to receive the hollow shank, said holding portion having an undercut recess;
- and
- a clamping device disposed within the holding portion and extending into the hollow shank, the clamping device having at least two clamping members and an actuating device configured to drive the at least two clamping members into and out of engagement with the undercut clamping shoulder, whereby a pressing force is generated between plane faces of the first part and the second part, the clamping members being head portions of elongated clamping elements, the elongated clamping elements having foot portions that are connected to one another, wherein the elongated clamping elements are provided in a region between head and foot portions with a retaining portion configured to engage the undercut recess of the holding portion.
