Abstract
The invention provides a gripper that is plugged onto a rotatable shaft with a flat locating groove in which the caps of locating spheres engage, these locating spheres being peripherally distributed in an annular groove of the shaft. As a result, the gripper is held precisely on the shaft and can be replaced without causing significant wear.
