1.Maximum static gripping force The static gripping force is the gripping force when the chuck is at a stop. The power chuck has a mechanism to convert input force (piston thrust force, draw bar drawing force) from the cylinder to gripping force. Therefore, the gripping force when the allowable maximum input force becomes the maximum static gripping force. However, the gripping force is different depending on the state of grease lubrication, grease in use, height of the jaw, etc. The maximum static gripping force specified in the standard soft jaw specification is the value under the following conditions: ・The Kitagawa standard soft jaw is used as the jaw. ・The attaching bolts of the soft jaw are tightened at the specified torque. (Refer to page 9) ・The numerical values are obtained with the Kitagawa Allowable gripping force meter . The gripping position of the maximum gripping force meter is at a position 1/2 of the height input force of the soft jaw top surface (height from the chuck ...
As the rotation speed becomes higher, the centrifugal force of the jaw increases and the gripping force lowers. The curves displayed in Fig. 6〜9 shows relationships between the rotation speed and the centrifugal force when using the standard soft jaw. The centrifugal force differs significantly depending on the size and shape of the top jaw and the attaching position, therefore, when the rotation speed is high, actual measurement using a Kitagawa gripping force meter is required.
