Basic safety notes DANGER Possible risk of fatal injury to operating personnel if a jaw breaks or if the lathe chuck fails because the technical data have been exceeded and a workpiece is released or parts fly off • The technical data specified by the manufacturer for using the lathe chuck must never be exceeded.
Page 17
Basic safety notes CAUTION Danger of limbs being crushed by opening and closing of the chuck jaws during manual loading and unloading or when replacing moving parts. • Do not reach between the jaws. • Wear safety gloves. • Observe the safety and accident prevention regulations during operation of the chuck, especially in connection with machining centers and other technical equipment.
Page 18
Basic safety notes CAUTION Hazard from vibration due to imbalanced rotating parts and noise generation. Physical and mental strains due to imbalanced workpieces and noise during the machining process on the clamped and rotating workpiece. • Ensure the chuck's axial and concentric runout. •...
Examples of calculation can be [kgm] found in the "Technology" chapter of the SCHUNK lathe chuck catalog and in the "Chuck jaws in special design/technology" chapter of the SCHUNK chuck jaws catalog. These catalogs can be downloaded from schunk.com.
For this, the maximum actuating force was applied and the jaws were set flush with the outer diameter of the chuck. The chuck is in perfect condition and lubricated with SCHUNK LINOMAX plus special grease. If one or more of these prerequisites is modified, the graphs will no longer be valid.

Technical data DANGER Risk to life and limb of the operating personnel and significant property damage when the RPM limit is exceeded! With gripping from the outside inwards, and with increasing RPM, the effective clamping force is reduced by the magnitude of the increasing centrifugal force (the forces are opposed).
Page 24
Technical data CAUTION This calculated force must not be larger than the maximum clamping force ΣS engraved on the chuck. See also "Chuck data" table ( 3.1, Page 19) From the above formula it is evident that the sum of the effective clamping force F and the total centrifugal force F is multiplied by...
Technical data 3.3.2 Calculation example: required initial clamping force for a given speed Required initial clamping force F for a given speed n The following data is known for the machining job: • Gripping from the outside in (application-specific) • Machining force F = 3000 N (application-specific) •...

Technical Supply Terms for lathe chucks as per DIN ISO 3442-3. Permissible imbalance DIN ISO 21940-11 The ROTA NCX in ungreased state without chuck jaws corresponds to the balancing quality class 6.3 (according to DIN ISO 21940-11). Residual imbalance risks may arise due to insufficient rotation compensation being achieved (see DIN EN 1550 6.2 e).

Assembly Checking the chuck mounting • Check the machine spindle head or the ready-machined inter- mediate flange for radial and axial run-out. The permissible limit is 0.005 mm as per DIN 6386-1. • The contact surface must be chamfered and clean at the bores. Mounting the lathe chuck onto the machine spindle •...

Lubricating before commissioning the lathe chuck Before commissioning, move the chuck into the open position. Using a high-pressure grease press, press SCHUNK special grease LINOMAX plus into the lubricating nipple every 3 strokes. For optimum grease distribution and to achieve the maximum clamping force, close and open the chuck several times over the entire clamping stroke.
Function and handling Function and handling The item numbers specified for the corresponding individual components relate to chapter drawings.( 9, Page 42) Function of the chuck The quick-change power chuck is actuated using rotating solid or open-center hydraulic cylinders. The axial tensile or pressure forces are converted to the radial jaw clamping force via wedge bars positioned tangentially to the chuck body.
Function and handling The jaw change key is locked so long as the chuck jaws have not been moved into the functional area! The functional area means that the base jaw is engaged by the serration of the wedge bar. CAUTION The jaw-change bolt (item 6) may only be turned when the chuck is in open position.
Function and handling Change or supplement of jaws Jaws for highest repeatability must be bored and ground in the chuck under clamping pressure. • When boring and grinding it is important that the boring ring or the boring bolts are clamped by the top jaws – and not by the base jaws.
Page 35
Function and handling DANGER Risk of fatal injury to operating personnel if the top speed is exceeded, resulting in workpiece loss and parts flying off! • A reliable speed limiter must be installed in the machine tool or technical equipment and proof must be provided that the speed limiter is effective! 03.00|0889148_ROTA NCX |en...
(A - see Fig. "Lubrication") using a high-pressure grease gun with two to six strokes (depending on the chuck side) of SCHUNK LINO MAX special grease at each nipple. For optimum grease distribution, the clamping piston must travel the entire clamping stroke several times after lubrication.
If a jaw is removed from the jaw guidance, turn the release key counterclockwise.The monitoring pin (item 6) must exit from the wedge bar (item 5). If this is not the case, the chuck must be disassembled and cleaned. Only original SCHUNK spare parts may be used. 03.00|0889148_ROTA NCX |en...
Maintenance Disassembling and assembling the chuck The lathe chuck may only be disassembled once it has been uninstalled (see chapter "Mounting the lathe chuck" ( 5, Page 29)). • Move the jaws to the outermost position permissible and leave them in the chuck, move the piston to the front end position (chuck open).
