Abstract
A clamping device for a wire or cable ( ), the end of which has to be attached in a housing ( ) includes two clamping bodies ( ) with interacting conical surfaces. One clamping body ( ) is arranged for receiving and passing through the cable ( ), which has to be secured. The second clamping body ( ) is arranged to exert pressure against the first clamping body for frictional securing of the cable. The clamping bodies are arranged in such a manner that when the tension in the cable increases the clamping bodies enclose the cable more tightly. The invention is particularly suitable for tools that have to be lowered into a well by the cable.
