CAUTION For safety reasons, in accordance with DIN EN 1550, the centrifugal force may be a maximum of 67% of the initial clamping force. 04.00 | ROTA THWplus | Power chuck | en | 0889021...
Note: Masses of the jaw mounting screws and T-nuts are not taken into account. First the required effective clamping force F is calculated using the machining force stated: Initial clamping force during shutdown: 04.00 | ROTA THWplus | Power chuck | en | 0889021...
The following data is known from previous calculations: Initial clamping force during shutdown F = 17723 N Machining force for machining job F 3000 N (application- specific) 04.00 | ROTA THWplus | Power chuck | en | 0889021...
6.3, as well as uneven lubricant application. In order to prevent damage resulting from these residual risks, the entire rotor is to be dynamically balanced in accordance with DIN ISO 21940-11. 04.00 | ROTA THWplus | Power chuck | en | 0889021...
