Abstract:
1. A clamping device for rod-shaped profiled elements having a substantially circular cross section and having a central axis (R) of the profiled element which axis runs along a longitudinal direction (L) of the rod-shaped profiled element, and having at least two centering clamps distanced from each other along a theoretical central axis (S), and having at least two opposing clamping cheeks that are centrally movable between a clamping position and a release position in a moving plane arranged transversely to the theoretical central axis (S), which cheeks each have a support that jointly surround the rod-shaped profiled element in the clamped position and align the central axis (R) of the profiled elements along the theoretical central axis, wherein the shape of the supports can be changed by an adjustable adjusting device which reduces an offset of the theoretical central axis (S) from the central axis (R) of the profiled elements in the clamped position, and wherein each of the clamping cheeks has at least two adjacently arranged slots that extend in a longitudinal direction (L) of the clamped-in, rod-shaped profiled element over the entire length of the clamping cheeks and form at least one deformable tongue between themselves on which tongue a partial support is formed.
