Basic safety notes DANGER Risk of fatal injury to operating personnel due to the workpiece falling down or being flung out in the event of a power failure In the event of a power failure, the lathe chuck's clamping force may fail immediately and the workpiece may be released in an uncontrolled manner.
Page 15
Basic safety notes DANGER Possible risk of fatal injury to operating personnel from clothing or hair being caught on the lathe chuck and being dragged into the machine Loose clothing or long hair may become caught on projecting parts of the lathe chuck and be drawn into the machine. •...
Page 16
Basic safety notes CAUTION Risk of burns due to workpieces with high temperatures. • Wear protective gloves when removing the workpieces. • Automatic loading is preferred. CAUTION Risk of damage due to incorrect choice of clamping position for chuck jaws on workpiece. If an incorrect clamping position is chosen for the chuck jaws on workpiece, the base and top jaws may become damaged.
The chucks were operated with the max. permissable force and the jaws were located exactly on line with the chuck O.D. The chuck is in perfect condition and lubricated with SCHUNK LINOMAX special grease. Should one or several of the above mentioned parameters be changed the diagrams are no longer valid.

Technical data 3.3.1 Calculation of the required clamping force in case of a given rpm The initial clamping force F is the total force impacting radially on the workpiece via the jaws due to actuation of the lathe chuck during shutdown. Under the influence of rotation, the jaw mass generates an additional centrifugal force.
Page 23
Technical data The required effective clamping force for machining F is calculat- ed from the product of the machining force F and the safety factor S . This factor takes into account uncertainties in the calcu- lation of the machining force. According to VDI 3106: S ≥...
Technical data The centrifugal torque of the base jaws M can be found in the table "Chuck data"( 3.1, Page 17). The centrifugal torque of the top jaws M is calculated as per: 3.3.2 Calculation example: Required initial clamping force Fsp0 for a given rpm n The following data is known for the machining job: •...
Technical data The chuck has 3 jaws, the total centrifugal torque is: The total centrifugal force can now be calculated: Initial clamping force during shutdown that was sought: 3.3.3 Calculation of the permissible rpm nzul in case of a given initial clamping force Fsp0 The following formula can be used to calculate the permissible RPM for a given initial clamping force during shutdown:...
Technical data Grades of Accuracy Tolerances for run-out accuracy and axial run-out accuracy corre- spond to the Technical Supply Terms for lathe chucks as per DIN ISO 3089. Permissible imbalance The permissible imbalance for lathe chucks is quality class G 6.3 as per DIN ISO 1940-1.

Mounting Mounting Installing and connecting WARNING Risk of injury due to unexpected movements! If the power supply is switched on or residual energy remains in the system, components can move unexpectedly and cause serious injuries. • Before starting any work on the product: Switch off the power supply and secure against restarting.
Mounting Chuck assembly Assembly of the chuck on the machine The item numbers specified for the corresponding individual components relate to chapter drawings.( 9, Page 41) Chucks in sizes 165 and 200 The screws (item 10) cannot be inserted into the piston (item 3) and rotated.
Page 29
Mounting • Completely unscrew screw (item 33) from the piston. Caution: Secure loose pins (item 31) separately. • The rotatable screw (item 10) can only be actuated directly us- ing an Allen key. • Lift the chuck using lifting equipment on the eye bolt so that it is flush with the center of the spindle.
Mounting Cylinder piston in foremost position R1 = Push the chuck piston to its foremost position and measure with a depth gauge. R2 = Draw bar in foremost position. Measure with a depth gauge. 5.3.1 Mounting the chuck with a reduction or extension flange If the chuck is screwed on with an intermediate flange, the following points must be observed: •...
Mounting • Next, turn in the fastening screws and tighten them slightly. Check the chuck for radial and axial run-out (see figure "Assembly of the chuck" - E) and align with slight blows with a hammer on the outer diameter if necessary. Next, screw the chuck tightly onto the chuck flange by means of the fastening screws using a torque wrench.
Mounting The following table shows the maximum attainable radial and axial run-out tolerances: 1000 Chuck size max. radial run-out error [mm] 0.02 0.02 0.03 0.03 0.04 0.05 0.06 0.08 0.10 max. axial run-out error [mm] 0.02 0.02 0.02 0.03 0.04 0.04 0.04 0.05 0.06 Replacing or adding to jaws When changing the top jaws, the serration must be cleaned.
Mounting • Remove the screw (item 35). • Fully screw in the screw (item 33) as far as it will go into the piston (item 3). • Screw in the screw (item 35). Switching off the oscillating clamp: The chuck needs to be moved into the open position for shaft clamping.
Function Function Function and handling The lever chuck is actuated using a rotating solid or through-hole cylinder. The axial tension and pressure forces are diverted into the radial clamping force via lever action. The clamping and opening path of the chuck jaws is determined by the clamping cylinder.
Page 35
Function Speed DANGER Possible risk of fatal injury to operating personnel if the chuck's top speed is exceeded and a workpiece is released or parts fly off. If the machine tool or technical equipment can reach a higher speed than the chuck's top speed, a reliable speed limiter must be installed and proof must be provided that the speed limiter is effective.
"Maintenance intervals" ( 7.2, Page 36)). Measure the clamping force only by using a calibrated Grip Force Tester (SCHUNK SGT 270). Technical Condition The base jaws must move evenly at the smallest possible operating pressure (cylinder). This method is only to some extend expressive and cannot replace clamping force measurement.
Maintenance Disassembly and assembly of the Chuck The item numbers specified for the corresponding individual components relate to chapter drawings.( 9, Page 41) The lathe chuck must only be disassembled once it has been uninstalled (see chapter "Mounting the chuck to the machine" (...
Maintenance Degrease and clean all parts and check them for damage or wear. Only use genuine SCHUNK spare parts when replacing damaged parts. Before assembly, grease well with LINOMAX special grease paste. The lathe chuck is assembled in the same way but in the reverse order.
Spare parts Spare parts When ordering spare parts, it is imperative to specify the type, size and above all the manufacturing no of the chuck. Seals, sealing elements, screw connections, springs, bearings, screws and wiper bars plus parts coming into contact with the workpiece are not covered by the warranty.
