Abstract: The invention relates to a connecting method or a connecting arrangement for clamping at least one first and one second component (1, 2) to be clamped with each other, in particular with a connection by force on all sides. The connecting arrangement has at least one first and one second component (1, 2) to be connected with a connection by force on all sides, a through opening (20) of the components, a bolt (3) extending from the first component (1) through the through opening (20), a clamping nut (4) which is screwed on the bolt (3) for clamping the components (1, 2), and a cone pair (8) comprising an inner cone (60) with a split (8) and an outer cone (50). One part of this cone pair is formed as a conical clamping element (5), which is arranged and axially moveable for radial clamping on the bolt between the components and the clamping nut.

Abstract: A clamping device with overload protection and a process to connect both elements, which are to be connected, whereby the clamping device is fitted with an element to be connected first, an element to be connected second, which is connected to the first element, and a bracing bolt to connect.
