module and machine.
•Wear protective gloves.
5.2 General Installation Notes
If several clamping pillars with VERO-S NSE plus clamping systems are mounted linked
together, make sure that the interface position deviation does not exceed ± 0.015 mm.
Due to redundancy between several quick-change pallet systems VERO-S NSE plus, the
clamping pins or the clamping pin extensions with positioning accuracy in one direction (SPB
40 / SPB-VLK50) must be used for clamping systems that are more than 160 mm apart or
that do not show a positioning tolerance of ± 0.01 mm. For the clamping areas that are not
intended aligning the device, workpiece or pallet, clamping pins or clamping pin extensions
with centering clearance (SPC 40 / SPC-VLK50) can be used (see also chapter "Clamping pins"
5.3 Clamping pins SPA 40, SPB 40,
SPC 40, SPG 40
The VERO-S clamping pins SPA 40, SPB 40, SPC 40 and SPG 40 are compatible with the direct
clamping module.
These clamping pins are suitable for use on clamping structures with precisely aligned height
supports on the workpiece or the clamping pallet.
If you want to compensate for variable height distances on the workpiece or the clamping
pallet, you can use the height-adjustable adapter SBA-HE 50-75 with manual clamping
device

Assembly
01.00|WDM 80 |de
19
CAUTION
Notes on clamping pins and mounting screws
The holding force of the quick-change pallet system is limited
essentially by the tightness of the screw connection which
connects the clamping pin to the pallet or the device.
•This is why only screws of strength class 12.9 may be used.
•Only original SCHUNK clamping pins may be used.
•If the clamping pins are to be used in customer-owned
devices, the customer must provide sufficiently dimensioned
threaded holes or a sufficiently thick mounting material.
5.3.1 Standard clamping pins
The clamping pins can be attached to the workpiece or pallet in two different ways; the
mounting variants are however numbered in the preferred order.
