• Ensure the chuck's axial and concentric runout. • Check options for remedying imbalances on special top jaws and workpieces. • Reduce the speed. • Wear hearing protection. 02.00|ROTA TP |en...
RPM according to VDI 3106 must be calculated for the respective machining job. Whereby the recommended maximum speed must not be exceeded. The values calculated must be checked by means of dy- namic measurement using a clamping force tester. 02.00|ROTA TP |en...
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 Should one or several of the above mentioned parameters be changed the diagrams are no longer valid.

Centrifugal torque of base jaw and top jaw specified in "Chuck data" table: For the centrifugal torque of the top jaw, the following applies: Centrifugal torque for one jaw: The chuck has 3 jaws, the total centrifugal torque is: 02.00|ROTA TP |en...
Identifying the permissible RPM: The calculated RPM n = 1495 is smaller than the maximum permissible RPM of the chuck n = 3200 (see "Chuck data" table ( 3.1, Page 17)). This calculated RPM may be used. 02.00|ROTA TP |en...
Technical Supply Terms for lathe chucks as per DIN ISO 3089. Permissible imbalance The ROTA TP in ungreased state without T-nuts and top jaws cor- responds to the balancing quality class 6.3 (according to DIN ISO 1940-1). Risks of residual unbalance may arise due to insufficient rotation compensation being achieved (see DIN EN 1550 6.2 e).
When determining the necessary clamping force to machine a workpiece, take the centrifugal force acting on the chuck jaws into account (according to VDI 3106). If the chuck jaws are changed, adjust the stroke control to the new situation. 02.00|ROTA TP |en...
The off- and return air out of the opposit cylinder chamber leaves for the most part directly below the associated profile sealing. 02.00|ROTA TP |en...
Both sides of a piston cover screwed onto the piston neck for clamping and unclamping are pressurized, thus causing the piston cover to trigger the axial motion of the piston. 02.00|ROTA TP |en...
(1). Please make sure that the entire fast stroke plus at least 1/3 of the clamping stroke (corresponding to the basic covering) of the TB-LH lathe chuck is executed during workpiece clamping (2). 02.00|ROTA TP |en...
• Place the angle under the eye bolt on the distributor ring. • Screw the eye bolt into the thread provided. Using the angle prevents the distributor ring from slipping back- wards out of the chuck. 02.00|ROTA TP |en...

Mounting Inclusion For ROTA TP 125 / Z up to 350 / Z lathe chuck types, a normal inter- mediate flange must be placed on the spindle head. Using 6 pin screws M12 x 40 (sizes 160 - 350), the rear flange side of the front of the power chuck which has been turned free is screwed »across...
The distributor ring is automatically centered with the chuck body by a plastic centering sleeve (Hostaform C). The following maximum speeds are possible with this mounting: ROTA TP125-25 ROTA TP 160-38 ROTA TP 200-55 ROTA TP 250-58 ROTA TP 315-90 4000 min 4000 min...

Retighten the screws. The profile seals only begin to wear if the chuck is actuated by the control unit during the rotation, which is generally prevented by the connection of the electrical interlock to the machine. 02.00|ROTA TP |en...
Page 38
For this mounting type, the distributor ring must be equipped with a spacer ring instead of the plastic centering sleeve. This spacer ring is loosely enclosed with each ROTA TP / TP-LH front-end power chuck. If the distributor ring is to be fastened but is equipped standard with the centering sleeve, the centering sleeve must be replaced with the enclosed spacer ring.
If the face side of the headstock is not machined, a mean must be determined and any height differences must be compensated by means of a positioning screw or positioning sleeve. Incidentally, the spacing consoles can be customized, but they should achieve the stability of the presented design. 02.00|ROTA TP |en...
During the assembly, as mentioned at the start, it must be ensured that the distributor ring is axially and radially aligned with the chuck body without contact and fixed. Note Therefore, ONLY flexible connection cables may be used. 02.00|ROTA TP |en...

The dial indicator is placed radially against the distributor ring and the distributor ring is aligned until the dial indicator no longer indicates a significant deviation (approx. 0.2 mm). 02.00|ROTA TP |en...
Commissioning and maintenance Initial operation Check that the jaw guides and the piston of the ROTA TP-type power chuck are sufficiently lubricated at the lubrication nipples set into the base jaws; if not, relubricate the base jaws in the re- tracted position with LINOMAX acid-free grease.
