collet
Explanation:
In most Dutch publications, such as Dremel's "Quick Start Book" [page58]'spanbek' is usually called 'spantang'.
This boils down to the same meaning.
On the corresponding 'GB'-pagina [22] this is called a 'Collet'.
'Chuck'often is a correct alternative, mainly I think in US English.

Explanation:
I think it should be 'opspanbek', klembek, or spanklem

Kluwer Werktuigbouwkunde:
opspanbek = spanklauw = clamping jaw; gripping jaw
spanklem = clamping chuck
klembek = clamping jaw; cramp cheek; grip; grip cheek; gripping jaw

agree  Ramon Somoza: Without further context, I'd go for "clamping jaw", which seems to fit best the 3mm...

neutral  Ton Remkes: Ample choise! But all this 'clamping' and 'gripping' is redundant. The obvious and simple 'collet' is missing.
