Cryostat configuration for keeping cryogenic fluids in at least one cryocontainer (1) which is suspended on thermally insulating suspension tubes (2) and/or suspension devices which are connected to an outer jacket (3) of the cryostat configuration, wherein the at least one cryocontainer (1) is centered relative to a container disposed further outside, preferably the outer jacket (3), using at least three centering elements (4) which are distributed about the periphery of the cryocontainer (1), wherein one end (5) of each centering element (4) abuts or is connected to the container disposed further outside, characterized in that in at least one of the cryocontainers (1), each end (6) of the centering elements (4) facing away from the outer jacket (3) is connected to an actuator (7) which exerts a pressure or tensile force on the respective centering element (4), and which is mounted to the cryocontainer (1) at at least one contact point (A, A', B, B'), wherein, through fixation of the actuator (7) to the cryocontainer (1) at the contact point (A, A', B, B'), through thermal changes in size of the cryocontainer (1), through thermal changes in sizes of individual components of the actuator (7), and optionally through mechanical translation, a mechanical tension is generated in the corresponding centering elements (4) such that the centering elements (4) remain loaded with a nearly constant pressure or tension, preferably in the range of .+-.10% of the pressure or tension prevailing at room temperature and irrespective of the temperatures within the cryostat configuration. This yields a cryostat configuration which permits pressure centering without overloading the centering elements.
