Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2177666A1] The clamping device has a retainer, at which a hydraulically operated clamp forceps (3) is arranged. The clamp forceps is mounted in a rotary manner, and is hydraulically locked in direction of rotation. The hydraulic locking of the rotary mounted clamping forceps is controlled by a hydraulic sequence circuit. An independent claim is included for a self-aligning device for positioning of clamp forceps at a pilling element.
