Patent attributes
The invention relates to a clamping and/or braking device with a base element (7) and a force-applying element (17), by means of which the generated clamping and/or braking forces can be transferred to an object (39), as well as at least two adjacent wall sections (3), which each apply force with an end region on the base element (7) and the force-applying element (17), and wherein the two or more adjacent wall sections (3) define an essentially sealed pressure chamber that can be pressurized with pressure or negative pressure, wherein the two or more wall sections (3) each have a bending region (3a), which is resistant to tensile force and nevertheless can be bent elastically so that the bending regions (3a) form an elastic element between the base element (7) and the force-applying element (17).
