Abstract: A fastening assembly for clamping plate-shaped components, including a clamping device used with a plastically deformable sleeve, and which has a housing, a nut element which is displaceably and rotatably accommodated therein, a feed rod engaged with the nut element, and a pressure sleeve which is displaceable relative to the feed rod in the axial direction thereof. An adapter may be used with the clamping device.

Abstract: A fastening assembly, comprising a first element forming a first contact surface and a second element forming a second contact surface, which for producing a clamping force may be moved relative to one another in an axial direction is disclosed. The fastening assembly also comprises a device for performing a relative motion of the two contact surfaces with respect to one another. The second element is provided in the form of a plastically deformable sleeve which may be detachably fastened to the first element designed as a pretensioning element. The disclosure further relates to a disposable sleeve for use in such a fastening assembly, and to a method for fixing and/or clamping at least one in particular multilayer component.

Abstract: A disposable sleeve for clamping of plate-shaped elements with an abutting face for the formation of a support area, a spacer section adjoining the abutting face and positioned in axial direction of the disposable sleeve, a segment formed on the opposite side of the abutting face for the introduction of axial forces, whereby a deformation segment, located between the spacer section and segment for the introduction of axial forces, is provided and formed as a groove in the outer surface of the sleeve, and which is designed in such a way that it deforms under a defined axial load in such a way that it results in a radially outward bulge. In order to allow for high clamping force, as well as uniform material stress of the plate-shaped elements, the groove is curtailed on the side opposite the abutting face through a radially positioned first recess.
