  • Tensioning or gripping device in particular a linear or centering gripper
    Patent number: 7806395
    Abstract: A tensioning or gripping device in particular a linear or centering gripper, comprises at least one displaceable base jaw (14) and a false jaw (16) which may be placed on the base jaw (14), whereby the false jaw (16) comprises two coupling sections (22, 24), running at least in part perpendicular to the direction (20) of displacement of the base jaw (14) and arranged one behind the other in the direction (20) of displacement of the base jaw (14), for connection to the base jaw (14). The base jaw (14) comprises a spring-loaded pin (18), running in the direction (20) of displacement of the base jaw, which, with the false jaw (16) placed on the base jaw (14), acts against a coupling section (24) for retaining the false jaw (16), such that the other coupling section (22) is tensioned against a stop surface (26) arranged on the base jaw (14).
