Abstract: A diaphragm chuck with an operating element inserted in a chuck body and axially movable in relation to the chuck body, a diaphragm attached to a free end of the operating element with the diaphragm secured to the chuck body by its outer circumference, three base jaws in driving connection with the diaphragm, on each of which a centering surface is disposed in a concentric alignment with the axis of the operating element, three clamping jaws attached to the corresponding base jaws, by which a gear to be machined can be clamped and which make contact with the centering surface, and clamping pins, each allocated to one of the clamping jaws, radially aligned and arranged between two teeth of the gear in the clamped condition, such that the diaphragm chucks reliably clamps differently sized gears and gears with different numbers of teeth between the three clamping jaws.
