The centric clamp can be used for both wet and dry machining. The permiss-
ible usage and environmental conditions must be observed (see
of Use and Environmental Conditions [
).
The centric clamp is only intended for commercial use.
2.2
Improper Use
If the centric clamp is operated for a purpose other than the intended use as
specified in this operating manual, this is deemed to be improper use.
Any utilisation beyond the scope of the intended use poses risks and is not
approved by RÖHM GmbH.
Improper use refers to the following:
▪ use of defective jaws (e.g. sprockets on base jaw broken off or cracks in
the jaws).
▪ use of an actuation device which does not maintain the clamping force in
the event of a power failure.
▪ clamping of workpieces when the centric clamp is not installed.
▪ clamping of compressible workpieces.
▪ clamping of other workpieces without the permission of RÖHM GmbH.
▪ clamping of excessively heavy workpieces - (for bases of calculation, see
Röhm norm RN 1391).
▪ clamping of excessively long workpieces (for bases of calculation, see
Röhm norm RN 1391).
▪ clamping of workpieces with insufficient clamping depth (for bases of cal-
culation, see Röhm norm RN 1391).
▪ one-sided clamping of a workpiece.
▪ operation without assembly on a suitable machine table or machine pallet.
▪ operation without an unlockable check valve (e.g. to prevent an uncon-
trolled decrease in pressure).
▪ direct pointing of the coolant spray at guides or lubricating nipples.
▪ operation without or with insufficiently clamped workpiece.
▪ removal of swarf during operation.
▪ use of the centric clamp in explosive atmospheres.
▪ operation with insufficient maintenance.
▪ use of non-OEM parts as replacement parts.
▪ use of the centric clamp for suspending loads.
▪ operation outside of the defined operating parameters.
▪ operation with modifications not approved by the manufacturer.
▪ operation without effective safety equipment.
