Intended use
The clamping unit KEC is intended to serve both as an individual product and integrated into a cylinder
DNC (for cylinder with clamping unit DNCKE) for the following usage:
–
As a safety device for holding and clamping round material.
–
As a well-tried component for braking a linear movement (stopping a movement) for processing or
handling procedures in a normal industry environment without substances and ambient condi-
tions that influence the function or materials used.
If used as a braking device, e.g. for interrupting potentially dangerous movements in a danger zone, a
regular check of the overtravel as a factor of the travel speed and the frequency of the braking proced-
ures (increased wear) as well as of the ambient operating conditions (min./max. temperature) is
necessary.
2.3
Foreseeable misuse
The product is not suitable for positioning tasks or for transmitting torques and lateral forces. A self-
aligning rod coupler (è 3 Further information) can prevent the transmission of lateral forces and
bending moments.
