Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A centering and clamping device has a housing ( 1 ) with a drive mechanism ( 2 ) situated in its interior for actuating a clamping hook ( 5 ). The clamping hook ( 5 ) is active outside the housing ( 1 ). The clamping hook ( 5 ) engages a seal element ( 3 ) that is positioned in an opening ( 4 ) on the housing ( 1 ). The seal element ( 3 ) has a passage opening ( 6 ) for receiving the clamping hook ( 5 ). The passage opening ( 6 ) fits exactly with the clamping hook ( 5 ) in every position. The seal element ( 3 ) is mounted so that it is rotatable in the opening ( 4 ) of the housing ( 1 ). A portion of the sealing element projects, at all times, outside of the housing ( 1 ) so that the opening ( 4 ) of the housing ( 1 ) is completely closed in every rotation position of the seal element ( 3 ).
