Abstract

The present invention relates to a clamp device. The clamp device is provided with a driving force transmission mechanism, which transmits driving force from a drive unit to clamp arms. The driving force transmission mechanism converts the rectilinear movement of a piston rod of the drive unit into: a first operation, in which the clamp arms rotate while moving in directions toward or away from each other; and a second operation, in which the clamp arms move in parallel in directions toward or away from each other with gripping surfaces in a mutually parallel state.
