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 should be designed to be as light and as low as
possible. The clamping point must be as close as possible to the
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 design 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.
2.3
2.4
2.5

Basic safety notes
10 03.00|1440828 ROTA THW3 |en
• After a collision, the lathe chuck and the chuck jaws must be
subjected to a crack detection test before being used again.
Damaged parts must be replaced 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.
Environmental and operating conditions
Required ambient conditions and operating conditions
Incorrect ambient and operating conditions can make the product
unsafe, leading to the risk of serious injuries, considerable material
damage and/or a significant reduction to the product's life span.
• Make sure that the product is used only in the context of its
defined application parameters, (3, Page 19).
• Make sure that the product is a sufficient size for the
application.
• Only use high-quality cooling emulsions with anti-corrosive
additives during processing.
Clamping force measurement
Depending on the operating conditions, the function and clamping
force must be checked after a certain period of operation
(7.1, Page 40).
With the smallest possible actuating pressure (hydraulic cylinder),
the base jaws should move evenly. This method only provides a
limited indication and is not a substitute for measuring the
clamping force.
If the clamping force has dropped too much or if the base jaws and
piston no longer move properly, the chuck must be disassembled,
cleaned, and relubricated (7, Page 40).

* The specified centrifugal torque of the base jaw has been
calculated in the radially outermost position of the base jaw. For
other positions, it is necessary to specifically determine this data.
Calculation examples can be found in the "Technology" chapter of
the SCHUNK lathe chuck catalog.
The maximum RPM stated is only valid with the maximum
clamping force and when using the hard standard chuck jaws that
go with the chuck.
The maximum permissible speed of rotation for the specific
machining has to be defined by the user on the basis of the
3
3.1

Technical data
20 03.00|1440828 ROTA THW3 |en
required clamping forces. This speed of rotation must not exceed
the maximum speed of rotation of the lathe chuck.
Ensure minimal weight for all jaws.
For unhardened top jaws or special chuck jaws, the permissible
speed of rotation according to VDI 3106 must be determined by
means of calculation for the respective machining job whereby the
maximum recommended speed must not be exceeded. The
calculated values must be verified by means of a dynamic
measurement. Function monitoring (piston movement and
actuating pressure) must be performed in accordance with the
guidelines of the Berufsgenossenschaft (employers' mutual
insurance association).
Clamping force-RPM diagrams
Clamping force/RPM curves have been calculated using the
corresponding standard top jaws (stepped jaws and monoblock
jaws). In the determination process, the maximum actuating force
was applied and the jaws were set flush with the outer diameter of
the chuck.
The chuck is in perfect condition and lubricated with SCHUNK
LINOMAX plus special grease.
If one or more of these prerequisites is modified, the graphs will
no longer be valid.
