Basic safety notes Basic safety notes Intended use This product is intended for clamping workpieces on machine tools and other suitable technical devices. • The product may only be used within the scope of its technical data, ( 3, Page 19).
Use of unauthorized spare parts Using unauthorized spare parts can endanger personnel and damage the product or cause it to malfunction. • Use only original spare parts or spares authorized by SCHUNK. Chuck jaws Requirements of the chuck jaws Stored energy can make the product unsafe and poses the danger of serious injuries and considerable material damage.
• After a collision, the lathe chuck and the chuck jaws must be subjected to a crack test before being used again. Damaged parts must be replaced with original SCHUNK spare parts. • Renew the chuck jaw mounting screws if there are signs of wear or damage.
Basic safety notes If the clamping force has dropped too much or if the base jaws and piston no longer move properly, the chuck must be disassembled, cleaned, and relubricated ( 7, Page 38). Personnel qualification Inadequate qualifications of the personnel If the personnel working with the product is not sufficiently qualified, the result may be serious injuries and significant property damage.
Basic safety notes Personal protective equipment Use of personal protective equipment Personal protective equipment serves to protect staff against danger which may interfere with their health or safety at work. • When working on and with the product, observe the occupational health and safety regulations and wear the required personal protective equipment.
Basic safety notes 2.10 Transport Handling during transport Incorrect handling during transport may impair the product's safety and cause serious injuries and considerable material damage. • When handling heavy weights, use lifting equipment to lift the product and transport it by appropriate means. •...
Basic safety notes • Disconnect power sources before installation, modification, maintenance, or calibration. Ensure that no residual energy remains in the system. • If the energy supply is connected, do not move any parts by hand. • Do not reach into the open mechanism or movement area of the product during operation.
Basic safety notes 2.13.3 Protection against dangerous movements Unexpected movements Residual energy in the system may cause serious injuries while working with the product. • Switch off the energy supply, ensure that no residual energy remains and secure against inadvertent reactivation. •...

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 17
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 18
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 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.

Torques per screw (–) for gripping from the outside inwards (+) for gripping from the inside outwards 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
Torques per screw 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...

Torques per screw Grades of Accuracy Tolerances for radial and axial run-out accuracy correspond to the Technical Supply Terms for lathe chucks as per DIN ISO 3442-3. Permissible imbalance The ROTA NCA in ungreased state without T-nuts and top jaws corresponds to the balancing quality class 6.3 (according to DIN ISO 1940-1).
Assembly Assembly 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.
If they cannot be attached directly to the draw tube, an adapter must be used. O-ring ROTA NCA 160-32 M38 x 1.5 2.4 28 38 x 1.5 ROTA NCA 200-53 M67 x 1.5...
Assembly Checking the chuck mount The machine side must be aligned prior to the flange being installed in order to achieve high concentricity of the chuck. To do this, check the contact surfaces on the spindle for concentricity and axial run-out accuracy using a dial indicator. There should be a maximum concentricity error in the centering of the mount of 0.005 mm and a maximum axial run-out error in the contact surfaces of 0.005 mm.

Assembly necessary, align at the outer diameter with gentle taps using a hammer. 8 Tighten the fastening screws (item 10) with a torque wrench. The breakaway torques( 4, Page 27) 9 Check the chuck again for concentricity and axial run-out accuracy (see Fig.
Assembly 5.4.2 Assembly preparation for chuck with reduction or extension flange If the bolt pitch circle of the machine spindle does not correspond to the bolt pitch circle of the lathe chuck, a reduction or extension flange must be used. Affix this flange to the spindle nose prior to chuck assembly.
Function Function Function and handling Wedge-hook chucks are actuated using rotating closed-center or open-center hydraulic cylinders or via a static hydraulic cylinder. The axial tensile and pressure forces are converted to the radial jaw clamping force by the wedge hook angle in the piston and base jaws.
Function If the chuck jaws are changed, adjust the stroke control to the new situation. Speed of rotation DANGER Risk of fatal injury to operating personnel if the top speed is exceeded, resulting in workpiece loss and parts flying off! •...

Soft standard top jaws must be hardened in the countersink region. They should only be depth-hardened, not surface-hardened. Changing the top jaws When changing the top jaws, the serration has to be cleaned and lightly greased with SCHUNK LINOMAX plus special grease. 02.00|ROTA NCA |en...
Depending on the operating conditions, the function and clamping force must be checked after a specific period of operation (see "Maintenance intervals" ( 7.2, Page 39)). Only use a calibrated clamping force tester for measuring in the clamping force test (SCHUNK GFT-X). 02.00|ROTA NCA |en...
If the clamping force has dropped too much or if the base jaws and piston no longer move properly, the chuck has to be disassembled, cleaned, and relubricated. Only use genuine SCHUNK spare parts when replacing damaged parts. Maintenance intervals...
