Assembly WARNING Risk of injury due to unexpected movements when installing and removing the cone seal! This can cause components to move unexpectedly when working on the cone seal, resulting in injuries. • Before starting all work on the product, refer to the cone seal chapter.
Assembly Mounting and connection Flatness If several linked clamping modules are mounted, make sure that the flatness and height deviation of the outer ring bearing surfaces from clamping module to clamping module (with respect to a 200 mm gauge) is ≤ 0.03 mm. The gauge deviation may not exceed ± 0.015 mm.

Assembly Ventilation via turbo connection, ventilation via the cover Ventilation via lid in version with cone seal Applies to NSE3 138-K /-V1-K /V4-K /-P-K Turbo connection When using the turbo connection (if supply is connected), the spring actuated locking procedure is actively supported with air pressure, thereby enhancing the achievable pull down force.
Assembly bottom of the module. O-rings are used to seal the channel bores against the bearing surface. NOTE If the media transfer function is used, ensure that the coupling elements are depressurized and ventilated when loading and unloading the clamping pallet. Before starting the machining process, ensure that the change unit rests flat on the bearing surface of the quick-change pallet system and is locked.
