A chuck according to claim 1, wherein the actuating means is arranged to the side of the clamping element. 8. A chuck according to claim 1, wherein the actuating means includes gear teeth provided on an outer circumferential surface of said rotational body and engaged by a worm gear mounted in said housing and extending transverse to said longitudinal axis of said chuck. 9. A chuck according to claim 7, wherein the actuating means include gear teeth on an outer circumferential surface of said rotational body and engaged by a gear mounted on said housing. 10. A chuck according to claim 1, wherein the actuation means includes handling means or a coupling means for providing an external connection arranged on a side surface of the housing body. 11. A chuck according to claim 1, wherein the rotational body is supported on the housing body, in a tensioning direction for the clamping element, via a first axial thrust bearing, and is supported on the housing body, in the release direction for the clamping element, via a second axial thrust bearing. 12. A chuck according to claim 11, wherein at least one of the first axial thrust bearing and the second axial thrust bearing is a roller bearing. 13. A chuck according to claim 1, wherein the rotational body is supported on the housing body at both of its ends on respective radial bearings, and the actuating means engages the rotational body between the radical bearings. 14. A chuck according to claim 1, wherein the tensioning thread has a smaller diameter than any other outer diameter of the clamping element, and the clamping element can be unscrewed from the rotational body. 15. A chuck according to claim 1, wherein the tensioning thread connection and the axial play of the rotational body determine a rotational play of the rotational body between a tensioning position, in which the rotational body pulls the clamping element into the centering opening, and a release position, in which the rotational body pushes the clamping element from its tensioned position. 16. A chuck according to claim 3, wherein the rotational body in its central opening is provided with an annular radial shoulder that faces an end surface of the clamping element to form an arrangement for limiting a tensioning distance for the clamping element. 17. A chuck according to claim 1, wherein the clamping element has an axial through opening that follows the shaft opening and is provided with an internal thread. 18. A chuck according to claim 17, wherein an adjustment bolt, provided with an external thread, is inserted into the through opening. 19. A chuck according to claim 18, wherein following the holding chamber, the housing body is provided with a through bore for providing access to the adjustment bolt. 20. A chuck according to claim 1, wherein the housing body is arranged to be connected to a working spindle of a machine tool, as well as to be connected to tool revolvers or similar tool holders. 21. A chuck according to claim 1, wherein the housing body is a two part housing including a first housing part and a second housing part that are joined at the holding chamber. 22. A chuck according to claim 21, wherein the housing parts are joined inseparably. 23. A chuck according to claim 1, wherein the housing body is provided on its front with a level surface surrounding the centering opening for supporting tools or their parts. 24. A chuck comprising: a clamping element with an axial opening and a cone-shaped outer surface, which is connected to a hollow rearwardly extending axial shaft that is provided with a tensioning thread, with the outer surface determining a conical angle 3.5°; a housing body provided with a conically tapered axially extending centering opening in which at least a forward portion of the clamping element is disposed, and a holding chamber for a chucking mechanism, with the centering opening leading to t he holding chamber; and a chucking mechanism including a rotational body that is disposed inside the holding chamber coaxial to the centering opening, and is mounted such that it can rotate and essentially cannot be displaced axially, with said rotational body having a thread that directly engages the tensioning thread of the clamping element, and actuation means connected to the rotational body for selectively rotating the rotating body to cause axial displacement of said clamping element; and wherein: the rotational body is supported on the housing body, in a tensioning direction for the clamping element, via a first axial thrust bearing; the rotational body is supported on the housing body, in the release direction for the clamping element, via a second axial thrust bearing; and each of said first and second thrust bearings is a roller bearing. 25. A chuck according to claim 24, wherein at least one sealing device is located adjacent to each thrust bearing. 26. A chuck, comprising: a clamping element with an axial opening and a cone-shaped outer surface, which is connected to a hollow rearwardly extending axial shaft that is provided with a tensioning thread, with the outer surface determining a conical angle <3.5°; a housing body provided with a conically tapered axially extending centering opening in which at least a forward portion of the clamping element is disposed, and a holding chamber for a chucking mechanism, with the centering opening leading to the holding chamber; and a chucking mechanism including a rotational body that is disposed inside the holding chamber coaxial to the centering opening, and is mounted such that it can rotate and essentially cannot be displaced axially, with said rotational body having a thread that directly engages the tensioning thread of the clamping element, and actuation means connected to the rotational body for selectively rotating the rotational body to cause axial displacement of said clamping element; and wherein at least one of the outer surface of the clamping element and the housing wall defining the centering opening is provided with a friction-reducing coating. 27. A chuck according to claim 26, wherein the tensioning thread connection has a radial play that exceeds any radial movement of the rotational body, caused by the actuating means. 28. A chuck according to claim 26, wherein the frictional value of the coating is 0.05 to 0.15. 29. A chuck according to claim 28 wherein the rotational body is axially supported in the housing body by first and second axial thrust bearings; and each axial thrust bearing is a roller bearing. 30. A chuck according to claim 26, wherein the coating is an impact-resistant hard material coating. 31. A chuck according to claim 26, wherein the coating is a smooth, diamond-like carbon coating, or other type of coating that must be deposited at temperatures of <200° C. 32. A chuck according to claim 26, wherein the coating is a tungsten carbide coating with excess carbon or another type of coating deposited at temperatures <300° C. ersatile Outside Plant Solution for Optical Access Networks", IWCS, Nov. 1999, 5 pages (not numbered).
