Setting tasks 5 Setting tasks Functional principle The piston, which is pressurized with compressed air, moves and transmits the driving force via pinions. Just before the end position, which is set using the set-screws at the lowest pinion, an industrial shock absorber intervenes and dampens the movement.
Setting tasks 5.3 Adjustments for GFS driven on both sides Adjusting the angle of rotation Position of the item numbers } 8 [/ 28] Pressurize connection A of both GFS until the swivel jaws have reached their end position. Release the counter nut (37) for connection B and set the end position with the stop screw (32).
Unused air connections open. Close unused air connections. Flow control valve closed. Open the flow control valve. Component part defective. Replace component or send it to SCHUNK for repair. 6.2 Does the swivel jaw not make a complete stroke? Possible cause Corrective action Dirt deposits between cover and piston.
