8.1 Function and handling
The ROTA 2B wedge hook chuck is operated by circular full or
hollow clamp cylinder or static hydraulic cylinder. The axial tension
and pressure forces are converted via the wedge hook angle in the
piston and base jaw into radial chuck clamping force.
The chuck jaw clamping and opening movement is preset by the
clamping cylinder. The fine serrations on the base jaw are suitable
for standard jaws and special jaws for awkward workpiece shapes.
All ROTA 2B sizes can also be supplied with slot and tenon base
jaws (up to size 125 with slot and tenon only). The top jaws are
moved or changed with the clamps open.
ROTA 2B‘s long jaw stroke makes it particularly suitable for
bridging long travel distances from workpiece shapes to clamping
position. This makes this chuck especially appropriate for fittings
and cast components. ROTA 2B chucks installation height has been
improved (shorter).
8.2 Replacement or renewal of jaws
Clamping jaws for maximum clamping repeat accuracy have to be
bored out or ground out in the clamping chuck under clamping
pressure.
When boring or grinding out, ensure that the turning ring or bolt is
clamped by the
top jaw
- and not the base jaw.
Tighten jaw fastening screws (Screw-quality 12.9) to specified
torque
Tighten the jaw fastening screws with a dynamometric key.Never
use a pipe extension or hammer to tighten the screws with an
