Abstract

L'invention concerne un élément de serrage (1) et un corps de serrage (104, 204) pour un dispositif de serrage (100, 200) pour serrer une pièce (101) ou un outil, un tel dispositif de serrage (100, 200) et un procédé pour serrer une pièce ou un outil. L'élément de serrage (1) est orienté autour d'au moins un axe central (M) et comprend au moins une surface de serrage (3) pour la pièce (101) ou l'outil et au moins une surface d'appui (2) opposée à la surface de serrage (3), pour un appui contre une surface d'appui (106) d'un corps de serrage (104) du dispositif de serrage (100). La surface de serrage (3) de l'élément de serrage (1) est formée de deux ou plus de deux segments de surface de serrage (4) qui sont espacés les uns des autres dans la direction circonférentielle (U) autour de l'axe central (M), la surface d'appui (2) de l'élément de serrage (1) est formée par deux ou plus de deux segments de surface d'appui (5) qui sont espacés les uns des autres dans la direction circonférentielle (U) autour de l'axe central (M), les segments de surface de serrage (4) et les segments de surface d'appui (5) étant espacés les uns des autres dans la direction radiale (R).
