The invention relates to a clamping bushing (21) for clamping in a bore (3) of a component (2), in particular of a workpiece to be clamped, wherein the clamping bushing (21) is radially contracted in a relaxed state such that the clamping bushing (21) can be inserted into the bore (3) and pulled out of the bore (3), whereas the clamping bushing (21) is radially expanded in a stressed state such that the lateral surface of the clamping bushing (21) forms a mechanical connection to the inner wall of the bore (3). According to the invention, the mechanical connection between the lateral surface of the clamping bushing (21) and the inner wall of the bore (3) is positive-locking and consists of a threaded connection. The invention further relates to a corresponding clamping device (1). An essential feature of the invention is also the possibility of being able to exchange the clamping bolt (tension anchor) by means of a bayonet coupling without having to open hydraulic lines and without removing the clamping element from the device.

An expanding collet device can selectively clamp a workpiece to a workpiece support and can include an arbor, expandable collet and threaded screw actuator. The threaded screw actuator mechanism can include a support, drawbar, socket and a pair of thrust bearings. The drawbar can be connected to the collet and can extend into the support. An outer circumferential portion of the drawbar can oppose and be spaced away from an inner circumferential portion of the support. The socket can surround the drawbar and can include external threads engaging internal threads on the support such that rotation of the socket relative to the support displaces the socket in the axial direction. The socket, support, and drawbar can be configured such that rotation of the socket relative to the support displaces the drawbar in the axial direction such that the drawbar moves the collet between the released position the clamped position.

Clamping apparatus

The disclosure relates to a clamping apparatus for fixing in a recess of a component and for holding a workpiece carrier against the component. The clamping apparatus includes a housing for attachment to the workpiece carrier and a clamping sleeve for insertion into the recess. A clamping mandrel is at least partially disposed inside the clamping sleeve. The clamping mandrel is movable relative to the clamping sleeve between a release position and a clamp position. When the clamping sleeve is inserted into the recess and the clamping mandrel is in the clamp position, the clamping sleeve is braced within the recess by a holding force so as to be in a clamped position. When the clamping sleeve is in the clamped position, the housing is movable relative to the clamping mandrel, which permits the housing to move the workpiece carrier into contact with the component and apply a bearing force thereagainst.
