• If the lathe chuck is involved in a collision, it must be subjected to a crack test before using it again. Damaged parts must be replaced with original SCHUNK spare parts. • Renew the chuck jaw mounting bolts if there are signs of wear or damage.
• Structural changes should only be made with the written approval of SCHUNK. Personnel qualification The lathe chuck must only be installed, removed, started up, operated and serviced by qualified specialist personnel with the relevant safety training.
Only allow specialists to remedy malfunctions. Spare parts Only ever use original SCHUNK spare parts. Environmental regulations Comply with the applicable legal norms when disposing of waste. Personal protective equipment...
Technical data Warranty If the product is used as intended, the warranty is valid for 60 months from the date of delivery from the production facility or 50 000 cycles* under the following conditions: • Refer to the applicable documents, (...
Functional monitoring must be performed according to the guidelines of the insurance association. The recommended speed is valid for ROTA-S plus 2.0 with SCHUNK stepped block jaws, hard, type STF. For this, the base jaws are inserted flush with outer diameter of the chuck.
In the determination process, 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. Should one or several of above-mentioned parameters be changed, the diagrams will no longer be valid.

Technical data Reduction in effective clamping force by the magnitude of the total centrifugal force, for clamping from the outside inwards. The required effective clamping force for machining F calculated from the product of the machining force F and the safety factor S .
Technical data NOTICE For safety reasons, in accordance with DIN EN 1550, the centrifugal force may be a maximum of 67% of the initial clamping force. The formula for the calculation of the total centrifugal force F For this, n is the given speed of rotation in .
Technical data Note: Masses of the jaw mounting screws and T-nuts are not taken into account. First the required effective clamping force F is calculated using the machining force stated: Initial clamping force during shutdown: Calculation of total centrifugal force: For two-part chuck jaws, the following applies: Centrifugal torque of base jaw and top jaw specified in "Chuck data"...
Technical data NOTICE The calculated permissible RPM may not exceed the maximum RPM inscribed on the chuck for safety reasons! Example of calculation: Permissible RPM for a given effective clamping force The following data is known from previous calculations: • Initial clamping force during shutdown F = 17723 N •...
Attachment of the manual lathe chuck Attachment of the manual lathe chuck The item numbers specified for the corresponding individual components relate to the drawing in chapter "Drawings" ( 12, Page 41). Handling prior to attachment Before mounting on the lathe, remove the base jaws from the chuck, then re-install the base jaws and turn the spindle several times as far as it will go to the right and left.
Attachment of the manual lathe chuck NOTICE When mounting with the intermediate flange, never allow the outer rim of the chuck body to make contact. The flange must support on the entire surface. ROTA-S plus 2.0 chucks are delivered with different short taper mountings.
Function Function The item numbers specified for the corresponding individual components relate to the drawing in chapter "Drawings" ( 12, Page 41). Handling and jaw change NOTE: For rotating lathe chucks, the centrifugal forces applied can cause the indicator pin to emerge from the chuck body. When the lathe chuck comes to a stop, the indicator pin must be reinserted.
Page 30
Function Oil the cleaned pressure bolt; do not grease with chuck grease! • Adjust exchanged jaws until the desired clamping diameter has been reached. The slides (item 12) must snap in when doing this. NOTICE Actuating the chuck if a jaw is not engaged will damage the chuck! Manually move the jaw back and forth without actuating the pressure bolt.
Function Jaw change If you turn the spindle to the right, the indicator pin (item 17) will protrude from the chuck body (item 1) (gold-colored pin). WARNING If the indicator pin protrudes, the entire serration of the wedge bars (items 5 and 6) no longer engages into the base jaws. The base jaws are not sufficiently engaged by the wedge bars.
Function • Regularly adjust the lathe chuck during operation to compensate for loss of clamping force caused by vibrations. • Following a longer period of shutdown (more than 8 hours), always re-tension the clamped chuck in order to compensate for the spindle settling and the resulting loss of clamping force. •...
Function True running check (on delivery of ROTA-S plus 2.0 with STF/SHF hard jaws ground on the chuck) To check the radial and axial run-out accuracy, hardened and ground test pins or test disks are clamped (see Fig. "True running check").

For this reason, it is recommended to regularly clean the chuck and lubricate it using SCHUNK LINOMAX plus special grease. CAUTION Allergic reactions if lubricating grease comes into contact with the skin.
Page 36
Maintenance WARNING Risk of injury due to dropping the manual lathe chuck during transport, installation or removal During transport and when installing or detaching the manual chuck, ensure it does not fall off. • Remove the jaws from the guideways (see chapter "Handling and jaw changes"...
Maintenance Replace damaged parts with original SCHUNK spare parts only! Before installation, lubricate all individual components with LINOMAX plus grease. Assembly The chuck is assembled in the reverse order. Observe the following when doing this: • Do not forget any parts! Even small components are essential for the safety of the lathe.
In this case, disassemble the chuck, carefully clean all parts with degreasing agent and check for wear and damage. Replace damaged parts with original SCHUNK spare parts only! Before installation, lubricate all individual components with SCHUNK LINOMAX plus special grease.
• Dispose of the chuck's metal parts as scrap metal. Alternatively, you can return the chuck to SCHUNK for proper disposal. 07.00|0889002_ROTA-S plus 2.0 with jaw lock |en-US...
Spare parts Spare parts When ordering spare parts, it imperative to state the type, size, and, above all, the manufacturing no. of the chuck. Seals, sealing elements, screw connections, springs, bearings, screws, wiper bars and parts that come into contact with the workpiece are not covered by the warranty.
