Assembly NOTE • For vertical installation, the opening of the coolant drain (item 13) must always face downwards • Surface "X" is parallel to the guideway of the base jaws (item 2) so the clamping block can be aligned on the machine table. Assembly with clamping sleeves: Mount the clamping block on the machine table together with clamping sleeves (item 27) and screws (item 19).
Page 21
Assembly Connecting the clamping block The clamping force block has four hydraulic connections: I, II, III, Two connections for OPEN (I and III) and two connections for CLOSE (II and IV). Which of the two hydraulic connections has to be opened for actuation depends on the specific application: •...
Page 22
Assembly Hose-free direct connection If the clamping system is connected via hose-free direct connections in the machine table, the base side openings in the cover (item 5) must be sealed. Do not open the front connections (I, II) on the clamping system, alternatively seal them airtight with locking screws for hydraulics (G⅛").
Assembly Sealing is carried out in each case via an O-ring, which is inserted in an O-ring seat in the table top. • The dimensions for the production of the axial-sealing O-ring seat are: Ø 9 + 0.1 x 1.1 + 0.05 The recommended O-rings for sealing the supply lines Ø...
• If the clamping system is involved in a collision, it must be tested to see if it is still functioning properly before using it again. Only use original SCHUNK spare parts when replacing damaged parts. • Visually inspect the clamping block at least once per shift for visible damage and defects.
(e.g. due to overload) damaged parts ( 8.1, Page 26) or send to SCHUNK for repair The clamping block does not make a complete stroke Possible cause Remedial measures Chips or dirt between the covering strip...

14 Clean all the parts thoroughly and check for damage and wear. Replace damaged and worn parts with original SCHUNK spare parts. 15 Grease the new seal (item 15) with Renolit HLT 2 or an equivalent grease.
Page 29
Maintenance and care 20 When pressing in the cylinder piston (item 4), the seal (item 12) must sit snugly in the cylinder and must not be damaged during assembly. 21 Lubricate the new seals (items 17, 22, 41) with Renolit HLT 2 or an equivalent grease.
To assemble the seal (item 12), a multi-part assembly tool is required. If no assembly tool is available, repair work on the TANDEM clamping block should be carried out by SCHUNK. 1. Assembly • Disassemble the two-part seal (item 12) and grease with Renolit HLT 2 or an equivalent grease.
