workpieces.
The workpieces are intended to be
machined, transported and measured.
Proper use also includes:
- Following all instructions in this Operating
Manual.
- Carrying out inspection and maintenance
work.
- Using only genuine parts.
4.2 Foreseeable misuse
Any other usage than that stipulated in
chapter
„4.1 Bestimmungsgemäße Verwendung“
or a usage in excess of this is a misuse!
In case of improper use risks may arise.
Improper use includes e.g.:
- Exceeding the technical data defined for
normal operation.
- Using as lifting gear and for transporting
loads.
The operator/owner bears the sole
responsibility for damage due to improper use.
The manufacturer will not accept any liability
whatsoever.
4.3 On the use of rotating machine
tools
On usage in a rotating application the fast
closing clamp is only allowed to be
operated if it has been ensured that it is
safely clamped. It must be ensured that the
permissible forces acting on the fast closing
clamp as per the specifications are not exceeded.
Specialist help is required to calculate and design
fast closing clamps for rotating use. Stark
Spannsysteme GmbH offers this service.
4.4 Modifications or changes
Any unauthorised modifications or
changes to the fast closing clamping
device render null and void any liability or
warranty on the part of the manufacturer.

4.5 Spare parts, wear parts and
auxiliary materials
Only retractable nipples manufactured by
Stark Spannsysteme GmbH may be used
on the mating element and they must be
mounted in accordance with the appropriate
data sheet issued by Stark Spannsysteme
GmbH.
The use of spare parts and wear parts from other
manufacturers can result in risks. Only use
genuine parts or parts approved by the
manufacturer. Stark Spannsysteme GmbH
accepts no liability for damage resulting from the
use of spare parts, wear parts or auxiliary
materials not approved by the Stark
Spannsysteme GmbH.
4.6 Obligation by the operator/owner
The operator/owner undertakes the
obligation only to allow work on the fast
closing clamping device by personnel
who
- are familiar with the essential health and
safety regulations.
- have been instructed on the operation of
the fast closing clamping device and have
read and understood this Operating
Manual.
The requirements of the EC directive on the use
of work equipment at work 2007/30/EC are to be
met.
4.7 Residual risks
Pay aAttention to the occurrence of
mechanical and pneumatic residual
energy on the fast closing clamping
device as well as pressure in cylinders and
valves after switching off the fast closing
clamping device.
4.7.1 Spring assembly
If the fast closing clamp is dismantled
incorrectly, the internal pre-tensioned
spring assembly may cause damage or
even injuries. Installation work may only be
carried out by Stark Spannsysteme GmbH.
4.7.2 Malfunction in the
hydraulic/pneumatic system
during operation
Malfunctions in the hydraulics or
pneumatics may cause an
unintentional pressure increase in the
release line to occur which releases the fast
closing clamp as a result. Especially in a rotating
application, a very hazardous situation may arise.
Possible measures to prevent unintentional
release:
- Disconnect the release pressure pipe
(decouple) mechanically. As a result a
pressure increase during operation is then
no longer possible.
- Decouple the safety valves from the
machine hydraulics/pneumatics. As a
result a pressure increase during operation
is then no longer possible.
- If the hydraulics are decoupled, there must
be no temperature increase in the
system/pallet, e.g. caused by hot swarf or
machining processes.
- With integrated pressure monitoring in the
release circuit for the fast closing clamp,
the machine can be stopped if there is an
unintentional pressure increase.

4.7.3 Hazard due to overpressure
Pipes or hoses bursting due to
overpressure can place personnel and
the environment at risk.
Action:
- Secure hydraulic lines with overpressure-
safety valves
- Observe data on pressure limits.
4.7.4 Hazard due to incorrect mounting
of the fast closing clamp
The pallet could be released due to
incorrect tightening of the fastening
screws or insufficient screw strength.
Action:
The mounting data on arrangement, property
class and tightening torque are to be followed.
4.7.5 Hazard on use in a rotating
application
Excessive speed, excessively high weight
or imbalance may cause the failure of the
fast closing clamp. As a consequence, the
pallet could be thrown off.
Action:
It is imperative you comply with specifications
and regulations from the manufacturer regarding
the maximum values!
4.7.6 Aspects that may affect service
life
The service life may be affected by:
- Inadequate filtering of the oil or the
compressed air: a filter fineness of < 15 µm is
to be ensured.
- External mechanical damage to functional
components.
- Exceeding the forces stated or load cases not
intended.
- Inadequate bleeding of the hydraulic circuit.
- Overload due to sudden pressure spikes.
- Excessively high piston speeds: the release or
clamping times must not be less than stated
due to high flow rates (pay attention to the
performance of the pump)!
- Heavy soiling of functional parts (e.g. swarf,
casting or grinding dust etc.)
- Aggressive media or environmental effects,
e.g. coolants or lubricants, cleaning agents,
UV radiation. Seals and scrapers will be
attacked.
- Incorrect pre-load setting or loading position
- Damages caused by excessive loading and
unloading speed.
- An excessively long time in the released
position will result in unnecessary loads on the
seals and springs

5 Description of fast closing clamping device
5.1 General
The fast closing clamp is the connection between the machine and the means of clamping the workpiece.
There are corresponding retractable nipples on the means of clamping; these are used for quick set-up.
While machining is in progress on one pallet, the others can be set-up.

1. Check the installation contour for Speedy basic for dimensional accuracy and surface finish.
Important: The transition from the chamfer to the centre bore must be free of burrs; otherwise the O-
ring may be damaged (leaks and failure of the fast closing clamp). All parts must be clean, this
statement also applies to all supply lines. (Deep bores, pipes, hoses, etc.).
Important: Dirt and aggressive media can result in faults or failure of the fast closing clamp.
2. Thoroughly grease the centre bore and O-ring then insert the fast closing clamp into the bore until
the O-ring is in the locating and centre bore. When doing so, observe the position of the counterbore
and threaded holes. For the SPEEDY basic with equaliser, also pay attention to the required
equaliser direction.
3. The centering collar of the fast closing clamp has an allowance for interference from the centre bore
of the installation contour. To move evenly into the fitting without causing damage, screw 2 screws
into the opposite countersinks and threaded holes until the screw heads lie without force in the
countersinks (do not yet tighten). Screw in the two screws alternately in several stages until the
screw heads, thereby pulling in the fast closing clamp as straight as possible against the face in the
bore. When doing so, make sure that the fast closing clamp is not just tightened on one side. Screw
in the remaining screws and tighten them all to the appropriate tightening torque (pay attention to
leaflet enclosed).
4. After assembling all SPEEDY basic hydraulic units, vent the fast closing clamp plate and the supply
lines. Observe instructions in chapter "7 Inbetriebnahme, Bedienung und Betrieb"! Do not exceed
the permissible operating pressure (pay attention to leaflet enclosed).
Important: Only apply pressure to fast closing clamping plate when it is screwed in position. Check
the recess of all balls on all SPEEDYs. Perfect functioning of the SPEEDY is only ensured when
the retractable nipple can be inserted and removed from the locating bore without applying force. If
the retractable nipple of one or more SPEEDYs cannot be inserted or removed from the locating bore
without using force, then the SPEEDY in question must be dismantled and checked as per "6.2 Ausbau
Schnellspannverschluss" Item 1 – 4. Repeat Item 2 – 4 of "6.1 Einbau Schnellspannverschluss".
All installation data sheets for the SPEEDYs are on the website at:

5.2.2 SPEEDY basic L
The same instructions as described in 5.2.1 apply, however the
SPEEDY basic Y is screwed into the plate using a central
external thread. It is recommended to use the spanner for
installation for this purpose; this tool is available as order no.
8000 899.
5.3 Removal of fast closing clamp
1. Prior to starting removal, the system must be completely de-pressurised. Interrupt the energy supply to
the source of pressure, ensure that it cannot be unintentionally put back into operation and then relieve
any residual pressure (e.g. take account of non-return valves, shut-off valves and suchlike).
2. Evenly undo and remove all screws or unscrew the SPEEDY basic Y using the spanner for installation.
3. 2 counterbore holes each have a thread. A set screw must first be turned in to each of the two
threaded holes under the counterbores to ensure that the threaded bore cannot be damaged by the
pressure from the ejector screw. After this, press the SPEEDY basic evenly out of the fitting with the
two ejector screws (this is not required for the SPEEDY basic Y).
4. On the variants that are released hydraulically, the locating bore must be vented; otherwise pulling out
the clamping elements will cause a vacuum.

6 Start-up, operating and operation
6.1 Putting in operation for the first time
- Visually inspect the entire machine and the fast closing clamps
- Instruct unauthorised personnel to leave the machine
- Check the fast closing clamp for pneumatic/hydraulic leaks
- Check the release pressure and the hydraulic oil levels
6.2 Function check
- When all clamping elements connected to the same circuit are fitted as described and tightened to
the appropriate tightening torque, connect the pneumatic or hydraulic pressure generator to the
circuit.
- Release: Slowly and carefully increase the pneumatic or hydraulic pressure to the release pressure.
During this process check the clamping elements for leaks; if necessary, immediately switch off
source of pressure and rectify the leak. Attention: Risk of slipping on escaped oil!
- Switch on and check the blow out air to make sure enough air is flowing out of the nozzle. Check the
nozzle for ease of movement.
- If you are prompted to check the mount, then the supply line must be checked for tightness.
6.3 Operating and operation
The speed when moving the retractable nipple into the quick-release elements must be less than
100 mm/s; otherwise, the retractable nipple and quick-release elements can be damaged.
Only pressurise the fast closing clamp for the pallet-changing process.
Do not subject it to constant pressure (released)!
- Set the release pressure of the fast closing clamps (see chapter "Technische Daten 9")
- Monitor the max. operating pressure of the fast closing clamps. Set the overpressure safety valve to
max. 5 bar above the max. operating pressure (see chapter "Technische Daten 9")
6.4 SPEEDYs with blow-out function and mount control
Blowing out and clearing throws up swarf!
Take suitable safety measures, e.g. wear safety glasses, cover, protective doors…
Make sure there is sufficient air supply (see chapter "Technische Daten 9").
- First switch on the blow out air; it must remain activated during the entire loading time
- Release the SPEEDY after approx. 3 seconds
- Replace the pallet
- Clamp the SPEEDY
- Only switch off the blow out air now and switch over to mount control
- Start the machine if the mount control is successful
