A plate stack clamping element is formed of adjacent leaf springs preformed to diverge where they extend beyond the plate stack. Compression of the diverging portions creates large area contact clamping force against the plate stack.

The plate stacks are positioned for further processing in a clamping arrangement with clamping elements between stacks. Each element is displaceable by an amount of play X with respect to its neighboring element.
