Wow there was a lot of dissent about this one. I think 'clamp' probably works best. Thanks.

disk plate teeth


Explanation:
"teeth" is sometimes used for 爪 even though the direct meaning is "claw". I don't know if it fits your situation, but "teeth" is also used for gears and similar things. Just a guess.
