clamping system


Explanation:
Meiner Erfahrung nach ist "system" immer eine gute Übersetzung für deutsche Begriffe, die auf 'ung' enden. Diese Übersetzung würde ich wählen, wenn die Spannvorrichtung komplex ist. Wenn es sich aber nur um eine Klemme handelt und nur das Deutsch an sich "aufgeblasen" ist, dann würde ich den nächsten von mir vorgeschlagenen Term verwenden.
