2. Technical data / intended purpose
2.1. Intended Use
Hydraulically actuated clutches for press construction are characterised by
a low spatial requirement, low moment of inertia and very reliable switching
cycles. They are largely maintenance-free.
Moreover, the multi-plate clutch design enables the transmission of high
torques at high heat loading.
The clutches are also quiet, even without noise protection, generating
about 85 dB(A) during switching.
2.2. Appropriate use
Our products are intended exclusively for use in accordance with the tech-
nical data stipulated per the design shown on the product drawing
(0 . . . - . . . - . . - . . . . . .)
The order-specific design which was performed by Ortlinghaus may only
be used for the intended application.
The technical data specified by the customer is a component of the
intended use. Insofar as a specification sheet which has been approved by
both sides is present, it is also essential. The customer is responsible for
the correctness of its data.
Our product is intended to be integrated into a system or machine or to be
assembled with other components to form a system or machine. For this
reason, the product should only be brought into circulation once the system
or machine into which the product is to be integrated has completely
fulfilled the applicable EU machinery directive.
Intended use also includes complying with the directions given in this oper-
ating manual, and paying attention to any residual dangers. Remaining
hazards are described in the hazard warning sections of the following
chapters. During the various applications (operating stages) in which
damage to the machine or hazards to personnel can arise, the operator
must ensure that appropriate safety measures are applied. Observe the
applicable national regulations pertaining to accident prevention and envi-
ronmental protection.

2.3. Improper use
Any other use or use going beyond the use described in the chapter
“Intended purpose” and “Proper use” is considered to be improper use.
Ortlinghaus is not liable for damages arising from this.
Especially, but not exclusively, improper use of our product includes:
➜use as a bearing in the sense of supporting and guiding moving
machine parts with respect to the stationary part
➜overloading by excessive speed, excessive torque during gear changes
or braking or by excessive operating pressure (also briefly by pressure
peaks)
➜overloading by excessively long sliding actions on the friction surfaces
(e.g. by overloading)
➜operation with insufficient cooling or with an operating pressure that is
too low
➜overloading by an excessively high switching frequency e.g. in activa-
tion mode
➜operation with an incorrect fluid medium with wet running system
NOTE!
➜If the safety instructions and residual hazards are not observed then this
is also considered improper use.
WARNING!
• Unauthorised conversions and modifications on the product are not
permitted for reasons of safety.
➜Modifications to or on our products are prohibited. Where this is not
observed, any claims made against Ortlinghaus-Werke GmbH will be
deemed void.

2.4. Functional description
The clutch is hydraulically actuated. The oil-cooled plates with steel/sinter
friction pairing are almost free of wear and tear during operation; the low
running-in wear is automatically compensated for by the piston so that
there is no need for adjustment.
The rated operating pressure is:
Size 80, 86, 90 80 +5 bar
Size 94, 96, 98 90 +5 bar
CAUTION!
➜Never operate the clutch under high pressure, as otherwise there is a
risk of shearing screws.
NOTE!
➜Install a throttle directly in front of the main valve to prevent short term
pressure peaks over 85 bar or 95 bar (size 94, 96, 98).
2.4.1. Engage the clutch
Springs 1impinge on the piston 2in the cylinder. This releases the plates
and the clutch cannot transmit any torque.
Pressure oil is directed into the cylinder of the clutch via the oil inlet. Pres-
sure oil 3moves the piston against the resistance of the pressure springs.
This means that the clutch plates 5are now positive locking. The clutch is
applied.
2.4.2. Releasing
When the pressure oil is switched off, the springs push the piston into its
home position. The clutch is opened.

4. Installation and assembly instructions
The supplier or operator is responsible for the installation of the product
described. Comply with the applicable regulations and requirements as
well as these OI. Check the operational readiness before installation. Use
appropriate lifting gear for handling whilst the installation work is being
carried out.
Follow the instructions for installation.
WARNING!
• Observe the hazard notes in chapter “Maintenance” and “Repair, modifi-
cation”!
➜Observe the applicable environmental regulations.
It is necessary to carry out a check for compliance with the geometric
tolerances after installation. It may be necessary to correct radial and axial
misalignments by adjusting the shaft(s) and other machine parts. Note that
there may be thermal expansion, shaft bending and soft mountings/bear-
ings. Check tightening torques of all bolts and correct if necessary.
WARNING!
• Please obtain the values required for the check from the product drawing
or contact Ortlinghaus-Werke.
➜Personal injury or machinery damage are potential effects of non-obser-
vance and are caused, for example, by components breaking or heat
generated by contact with moving parts.
➜If the geometrical installation conditions are not observed, our product
must not be installed.
4.1. Installation conditions
• Moving parts must be safeguarded by the customer against unintended
contact, without significantly compromising the ventilation.
• The installation area, with its connection faces, and the product must be
free of grease, dust or other contamination.
• It must be ensured that the friction components are not contaminated by
operating fluids such as oil or grease (other than the specified operating
fluids) during installation or subsequent operation. Exceptions are the
lubricants approved for operation. If clamping rings are used for shaft
connection then no oil must emerge from these after installation.
• There must be no damage present at the joints of the machine.
• Observe the fitting and position tolerances and the data on the product
drawing. Otherwise small cracks or gaps from angular or radial misalign-
ment of the shaft/machine are created.
• Ensure that there is adequate space available in the installation area.
4.2. Fundamental installation variants
It is not possible to deal with special installation variants - custom-made
for machine construction - here. However, we would like to show how our
products can be integrated with some examples.

Ortlinghaus-Werke GmbH Operating instructions TPI 1230 EN
05.2013 13
4.3. Installation
• Detach clutch housing from the actuator unit and bolt and pin it to the
machine body.
• Fix the hub to the shaft. Ensure that the axial position is correct!
• When fixing with a tensioning set, observe the manufacturer's installation
instructions and remove any plastic plugs!
• Install plates in accordance with the condition on delivery, alternately,
i.e. outer then inner plate and so on. The first and last plate is always an
outer plate.
• Bolt the actuator unit to the clutch housing.
• Observe the tightening torques of the housing bolts. Secure housing
bolts with LOCTITE 262.

5. Commissioning
Prior to commissioning, the connection on the drive side and output side
must be checked for correct attachment and a functional test carried out.
Furthermore, a functional test must also be carried out after maintenance
or repair with a stationary system or machine.
With hydraulic systems, the existing contamination must be filtered out
before first use. The piston chamber should be bled via the connection
provided (if available) prior to commissioning.
Check for unusual noises, vibrations and oscillations. Monitor the operating
temperature. If unusual heating should be detected in the first hours of
operation, the commissioning is to be halted.

WARNING!
• The product must be screwed together using all provided securing
screws on the machine body.
➜Stick to the specifications from Chapter “Size and tightening torque of
the screws”.
• Charge the brake with the required air pressure while it is stationary.
• Check the piston function.
• Pressure oil moves the piston against the resistance of the pressure
springs (against the plates). This means that the clutch plates are now
positive locking.
• In the event of wet running, check the amount of cooling oil and, if neces-
sary top up or adjust the flow rate.

6.2. Inspection while the machine is in operation
Check for unusual noises, vibrations and oscillations. Monitor the operating
temperature. If unusual heating is detected in the first hours of operation,
the commissioning process is to be halted.
The clutch is largely wear- and maintenance-free. Incorrect operation (oil
pressure too low, operating temperature too high, excessive switching
frequency etc.) can however still result in wearing of the plates.
Plate wear is reflected in the changed operating performance of the clutch,
e.g. the clutch slips.
If you detect slippage of the clutch, then you must shut down the machine
immediately. Please contact customer services.
6.3. Recommended oils
The function of the selected lubricant is of decisive importance for the
permanent operation of our wet-running products.
➜Please refer to factory norm
ON 9.2.19 for a list of the oils which we recommend.
➜The factory standard can be requested from us easily by telephone or
email (for telephone number or email address, see front page).
The indicated oil recommendations are based exclusively on the function
of the product described here.
Restrictions may be caused by other components connected to the
same oil circuit.
Please note the system manufacturer’s approved oils list.
CAUTION!
• Under no circumstances should lubricants of different types be mixed
together! Mixing them together can negatively alter the properties.
➜This can lead to functional impairments, e.g. reduction in friction or foam
generation. Damage to the product or machinery, e.g. seals/gaskets, is
also possible.

7. Troubleshooting
If unusual operational noises, oscillations, increased temperatures or func-
tional faults should arise then the system must be brought to an immediate
standstill and secured against a re-start whilst maintenance work is carried
out.
WARNING!
• After being brought to a standstill there is a possible risk of burning due
to residual heat.
➜Allow the working area to cool sufficiently.
The following faults are only intended as a rough guide for troubleshooting.
Always additionally consider the other components of the system and
include these in the troubleshooting.
Observe the instructions for commissioning after maintenance or repair
work is completed.
Malfunction Reason Remedy
Clutch slips Oil pressure too low Increase operating
pressure to
80 + 5 bar *
or 90 + 5 bar*
(size 94, 96, 98)
Malfunction in
hydraulic system (dirt,
leaks ...)
Repair hydraulic
system
Friction lining worn
(maximum permitted
size of air gap
achieved)
Instruct customer
services to replace
the plates
Unaccountable
machinery damage Request Ortlinghaus
customer service
CAUTION!
• Deviating (lower) operating pressures possible!
➜View design calculation.
CAUTION!
• If plate wear has been determined, the clutch must have been operated
incorrectly (operating pressure too low, excessive switching frequency,
operating temperature too high etc.).
➜Make sure therefore that operation is correct to prevent further wear.
• In the case of functional faults, the product is to be sent back to the
Ortlinghaus-Werke for inspection or alternatively arrange for our trained
fitters to perform an inspection on site.
