Abstract
A clamping mechanism connects a tool head including a hollow tool shank with a clamping shank having a seat for receiving the tool shank. Each of the face ends of the clamping elements of the clamping mechanism are overlapped by at least one centering element. The centering elements are connected to each other by axially parallel links forming a centering cage that overlaps the clamping mechanism with axial play. The centering elements each lock into an axially central, cylindrical recess situated in the floor area of the clamping shank and the hollow tool shank.
