    Basic safety notes 2.13.4 Notes on particular risks DANGER Risk of fatal injury from suspended loads! Falling loads are sure to cause serious injuries and even death. Use suitable lifting equipment. Secure the product to prevent it from falling. Stand clear of suspended loads and do not step within their swiveling range.
  • Page 14 Basic safety notes DANGER Possible risk of fatal injury to operating personnel if a jaw breaks or if the lathe chuck fails because the technical data have been exceeded and a workpiece is released or parts fly off The technical data specified by the manufacturer for using the lathe chuck must never be exceeded.
  • Page 15 Basic safety notes CAUTION Danger of limbs being crushed by opening and closing of the chuck jaws during manual loading and unloading or when replacing moving parts. Do not reach between the chuck jaws. Automatic loading is preferred. If manual loading is used, adjust the jaw position so that the opening gap between the jaw and the workpiece is less than 4 mm.
  • Page 16 Basic safety notes CAUTION Hazard from vibration due to imbalanced rotating parts and noise generation. Physical and mental strains due to imbalanced workpieces and noise during the machining process on the clamped and rotating workpiece. Ensure the chuck's axial and concentric runout. Check options for remedying imbalances on special top jaws and workpieces.

    Technical data 3.3.1 Calculation of the required clamping force in case of a given The initial clamping force F is the total force impacting radially on the workpiece via the jaws due to actuation of the lathe chuck during shutdown. Under the influence of rotation, the jaw mass generates an additional centrifugal force.
  • Page 23 Technical data The required effective clamping force for machining F calculated from the product of the machining force F and the safety factor S . This factor takes into account uncertainties in the calculation of the machining force. According to VDI 3106: S ≥...

    Technical data The calculated RPM n = 1495 RPM is smaller than the perm maximum permissible RPM of the lathe chuck n = 3200 RPM (see "Lathe chuck data" table } 3.1 [/ 17]). This calculated RPM may be used. 3.4 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.
  • Page 27: Function

    Function 4 Function 4.1 Function of the chuck The type THW quick-change power chucks are actuated using a rotating solid or open-center hydraulic cylinder. The axial tensile or pressure forces are converted to the radial jaw clamping force via wedge bars positioned tangentially to the chuck body. 4.2 Functional testing Functional test After installation of the chuck, its function must be checked prior...
  • Page 28: Handling The Chuck And The Base Jaws

    Function 4.3 Handling the chuck and the base jaws The clamping and opening path of the chuck jaws is determined by the clamping cylinder. The base jaws with screwed-on top jaws are moved or changed in the open clamping position. For safety reasons, the serration for the base jaws is still engaged in this chuck piston position.
  • Page 29: Base Jaw Position

    Function 4.4 Base jaw position A marking line between the jaw guides is milled on the face side of the chuck (see drawing} 9 [/ 39]). This marking line is the positioning aid for the base jaws or top jaws. The outermost base jaw or monoblock position is reached when the front face of the base jaw or the unsplit top jaw agrees with the marking line in the jaw change position (chuck open).

    Mounting 6 Mounting 6.1 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.
  • Page 32 Mounting Piston in foremost position R1 = Push the chuck piston to its foremost position and measure with a depth gauge R2 = R1 + 0.3 mm (max. + 0.5 mm) You have to ensure that the piston can be moved to the foremost (jaw change) position.
  • Page 33 Lubricating before commissioning the lathe chuck Before commissioning, move the chuck into the open position. Using a high-pressure grease press, press SCHUNK special grease LINOMAX into the lubricating nipple every 3 strokes. For optimal grease distribution and to achieve the maximum clamping force, close and open the chuck multiple times over the entire clamping stroke.
  • Page 34: Maintenance

    Lubricate all three segments evenly in order to avoid imbalances. (For product information about LINOMAX, see the "Accessories" chapter of the SCHUNK lathe chuck catalog or contact SCHUNK.) CAUTION Allergic reactions if lubricating grease comes into contact with the skin.
