Basic safety notes
Intended use
The product is used to clamp workpieces in machine tools or
assembly devices during machining.
• Rotation of the lathe chuck can be initiated by the machine
during machining or the lathe chuck can be at rest. The use of
coolants during machining is permitted.
• Use top jaws with a suitable interface and associated T-nuts.
• Workpiece specifications:
– Workpiece temperature between 0°C and 100°C.
– Interference circuit diameter of the workpiece must be
smaller or at most equal to the outer diameter of the lathe
chuck.
– Sufficient rigidity in the elastic range to absorb the clamping
force.
• The necessary speed of rotation and the clamping force of the
lathe chuck must be determined by the operator for the
respective clamping task, however the technical data engraved
on the lathe chuck should never be exceeded!
Any other use is not as intended.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
Any use other than that defined under "Appropriate Use" or any
use that goes beyond that definition is considered improper use
and is prohibited.
Examples of foreseeable misuse:
• Operation by unauthorized personnel:
– incorrect mounting of the top jaws.
– incorrect actuation of the lathe chuck.
– incorrect feeding of the workpiece.
• Clamping in stroke end position of the lathe chuck:
– The clamping point is too close or directly on the stroke end
position of the lathe chuck, which means that the desired
clamping force will not act on the workpiece.
• Use of jaws that are too high or a clamping area that is too
high.

2.1
2.2

Basic safety notes
8 01.00|1416054_ROTA-M2 + 2 |en
• Due to the clamping force and height of the clamping area, a
moment load acts on the guideways of the lathe chuck. This
must not exceed the maximum value.
• Incorrect application parameters for the machining situation.
No determination of the clamping force or maximum speed of
rotation required for the clamping situation. These parameters
can be calculated from the desired machining situation.
• Exceeding the technical data of the lathe chuck. Actuation with
an actuation moment that is too high, rotation above the
maximum speed of rotation.
• Use on machines other than machine tools or assembly
devices.
• Use as a safety component.
• Carelessness, lack of concentration.
• Clamping of insufficiently rigid workpieces, clamping of
workpieces that do not meet the specifications:
– The rigidity of the workpiece is not sufficient to provide the
lathe chuck with the necessary resistance that will allow the
clamping force to build up.
• Use for stationary or rotating processes where there is no
workpiece or the workpiece is not clamped.
• Use of chuck jaws that have not been approved by SCHUNK
(self-built, third-party products).
• Removing the release mechanism from the actuation key.
• By removing the release mechanism, the actuation key can
remain on the lathe chuck.
Constructional changes
Implementation of structural changes
By conversions, changes, and reworking, e.g. additional threads,
holes, or safety devices can impair the functioning or safety of the
product or damage it.
• Structural changes should only be made with the written
approval of SCHUNK.

Spare parts
Use of unauthorized spare parts
Using unauthorized spare parts can endanger personnel and
damage the product or cause it to malfunction.
• Use only original spare parts or spares authorized by SCHUNK.
Chuck jaws
Requirements of the chuck jaws
Accumulated energy can make the product unsafe and risk the
danger of serious injuries and considerable material damage.
• Only change chuck jaws if no residual energy can be released.
• Do not use welded jaws.
• The chuck jaws must be designed to be as light and as low as
possible. The clamping point must be as close as possible to the
lathe chuck face (clamping points at a greater distance lead to
greater surface pressure in the jaw guidance and can
significantly reduce the clamping force).
• If, for constructional reasons, the special chuck jaws are heavier
than the top jaws assigned to the lathe chuck, greater
centrifugal forces must be taken into account when defining
the required clamping force and the recommended speed of
rotation.
• The maximum recommended speed of rotation may only be
operated in conjunction with maximum actuating force and
only with the lathe chuck in optimum, fully functioning
condition.
• After a collision, the lathe chuck and the chuck jaws must be
subjected to a crack test before being used again. Replace
damaged parts with original SCHUNK spare parts.
• Renew the chuck jaw mounting bolts if there are signs of wear
or damage. Only use bolts with a quality of 12.9.

Fundamental dangers
General
• Observe safety distances.
• Never deactivate safety installations.
• Before commissioning the product, take appropriate protective
measures to secure the danger zone.
• Disconnect power sources before installation, modification,
maintenance, or calibration. Ensure that no residual energy
remains in the system.
• Do not reach into the open mechanism or movement area of
the product during operation.
Protection during handling and assembly
Incorrect handling and assembly
Incorrect handling and assembly may impair the product's safety
and cause serious injuries and considerable material damage.
• Have all work carried out by appropriately qualified personnel.
• For all work, secure the product against accidental operation.
• Observe the relevant accident prevention rules.
• Use suitable assembly and transport equipment and take
precautions to prevent jamming and crushing.
Incorrect lifting of loads
Falling loads may cause serious injuries and even death.
• Stand clear of suspended loads and do not step into their
swiveling range.
• Never move loads without supervision.
• Do not leave suspended loads unattended.

Protection against dangerous movements
Unexpected movements
Residual energy in the system may cause serious injuries while
working with the product.
• Switch off the energy supply, ensure that no residual energy
remains and secure against inadvertent reactivation.
• Never rely solely on the response of the monitoring function to
avert danger. Until the installed monitors become effective, it
must be assumed that the drive movement is faulty, with its
action being dependent on the control unit and the current
operating condition of the drive. Perform maintenance work,
modifications, and attachments outside the danger zone
defined by the movement range.
• To avoid accidents and/or material damage, human access to
the movement range of the machine must be restricted.
Limit/prevent accidental access for people in this area due
through technical safety measures. The protective cover and
protective fence must be rigid enough to withstand the
maximum possible movement energy. EMERGENCY STOP
switches must be easily and quickly accessible. Before starting
up the machine or automated system, check that the
EMERGENCY STOP system is working. Prevent operation of the
machine if this protective equipment does not function
correctly.
Notes on particular risks
DANGER

Falling loads can cause serious injuries and even death.
• Stand clear of suspended loads and do not step within their
swiveling range.
• Never move loads without supervision.
• Do not leave suspended loads unattended.
• Wear suitable protective equipment.

For the respective machining task, the permissible speed of
rotation for a given initial clamping force or the required clamping
force for a given speed of rotation must be calculated according to
VDI 3106, whereby the maximum speed of rotation or the
maximum clamping force of the lathe chuck must not be
exceeded. The calculated values must be checked by dynamic
measurement. Functional monitoring must be performed
according to the guidelines of the insurance association.
