Assembly • Surface "X" is parallel to the guideway of the base jaws (item 2) so that the clamping block can be aligned on the machine table. Assembling the clamping block Assembly with clamping sleeves: the clamping block is mounted on the machine table together with clamping sleeves (item 27) and screws (item 19).
Assembly Connections of the clamping block Connections of the clamping block KSF plus and KSF-F plus: The clamping block has two air connections: »I« and »III« • Open against spring assembly, no turbo function. The clamping block is closed mechanically via the integrated spring assembly.
Page 18
Assembly Connection of the KSF plus and KSF-F plus versions: The clamping block has two air connections for OPEN: "I" and "III" (opening against spring assembly, no turbo function) and an air bleed screw (sound absorber). The application determines which of the two air connections (at the front or at the base) must be opened for actuation: •...
Assembly NOTICE Always make sure that the connections are tight and use a suitable metal hose to protect the pneumatic hoses against hot chips, falling parts or other damage. WARNING Risk of injury due to immediate closing of the clamping block with a high spring pressure in case of failure of the pneumatic pressure.
Assembly 7.3.1 Installation recommendation for partial integration: • The cover (part 5) is built into the table top via a mounting- or through-hole. • Compressed air is supplied to the base-side air connection »III« on the clamping block by a hose line with a pneumatic plug-in connection that is built into the opening in the cover (item 5) below the table top.
Page 21
Assembly • Do not open the frontal connection »I« of the clamping block or seal it airtight with a locking screw (M5 or G1/8"). • The pneumatic pressure supply to connection »III« is sealed by an O-ring, which is laid into the O-ring seat in the flat surface of the mounting hole.
Disassemble clamping block and piston rod breakage replace damaged parts ( 9.1, Page 23) (e.g. due to overload) send to Schunk for repair Clamping block does not complete stroke Possible cause Remedial measures Chips or dirt between covering strip and...
Reassemble everything and relubricate the two frontal or the two lateral lubricating nipples with LINOMAX 200 or an equivalent lubricant. (Product information about LINOMAX can be requested from SCHUNK). CAUTION Skin contact with lubricating grease can cause allergic reactions! Wear protective gloves.

Maintenance and care removed after being heated by a hot-air blower. The sleeve should therefore remain built into the base body. 13 Remove the seals (items 20, 22). 14 Remove the seals (items 12, 15, 17). 15 Clean all the parts thoroughly and check for damage and wear. Damaged and worn parts must be replaced.

Maintenance and care diagonal sequence. It is absolutely necessary to install the original fastening screws (item 21) afterwards. 27 If using clamping sleeves (item 27) for centering, insert these into the housing (item 1) now. 28 Grease the sliding surfaces of the housing (item 1), base jaws (item 2) and chuck piston (item 3) with LINOMAX 200 or an equivalent lubricant.
Maintenance and care Control of thightness • The following components are required to check for leaks: pressure gauge, pneumatic fitting, supply line and quick coupler. • Check for leaks with the clamping block in the CLOSED position. Proceed as follows: 1 Connect the following sequence of parts to the connection in the OPEN (I) position: pressure gauge, pneumatic fitting, supply line with fast coupler.
