Abstract
The mechanical coupling of an actuating element of a valve to a connection element of an actuator is accomplished with the actuating element able to be displaced along a z-axis for the purpose of adjusting the valve and the connection element, at a corresponding orientation of the actuator, can likewise be displaced along the z-axis relative to the valve by the actuator. The device has (a) a first coupling element which can be coupled to the actuating element so that a certain freedom of movement is provided between the first coupling element and the actuating element along the z-axis, (b) a second coupling element which can be coupled to the connecting element, (c) a connecting element which links the two coupling elements to each other in a movable manner, and (d) a clamping device which is arranged on the first coupling element and/or on the second coupling element and which is embodied such that, upon an actuation of the clamping element the two coupling elements are braced against each other, and an actuating element coupled to the first coupling element is clamped without play to the two coupling elements along the z axis.
