DANGER
Possible risk of fatal injury to operating personnel due to chuck
failure if the servicing instructions for the chuck are
disregarded!
The servicing instructions specified by the manufacturer must be
complied with to ensure safe operation of the chuck.
Work must be carried out by qualified specialist personnel with
the relevant safety training.
Use of special designed jaws
When using special designed jaws the following rules must be
observed:
•
The jaws should be designed as light and as low as possible. The
clamping point must be as close as possible to the chuck face
(clamping points at a greater distance lead to greater surface
pressure in the jaw guidance and can significantly reduce the
clamping force).
•
Do not use welded jaws.
•
If for constructional reasons the chuck jaws in special design
are heavier than the top jaws assigned to the clamping device,
greater centrifugal forces must be accounted for when defining
the required clamping force and the recommended speed.
•
Screw the jaw mounting screws into the bore holes furthest
apart.
•
The maximum recommended speed may only be operated in
conjunction with maximum actuating force and only with the
chuck in optimal, fully functioning condition.
•
If the clamping device is involved in a collision, it must be
subjected to a crack test before using it again. Damaged parts
must be replaced by original SCHUNK spare parts.
•
The jaw fastening screws must be replaced if they show any
signs of wear or damage. Only use screws with a quality of 12.9.
