2. Proper use
The SB/SBZ series of swivel jaws are intended to be used exclusively in pairs for picking up workpieces and for swiveling and positioning
them according to the technical design. The swivel jaws may be used only as intended and in accordance with the technical parameters.
Any use other than the intended use requires written approval from Zimmer GmbH. Modications to the swivel jaws, such as adding drill
holes or threads, may be made only with prior approval from Zimmer GmbH.
Use of the swivel jaws under extreme conditions, such as aggressive liquids and abrasive dust, is subject to prior approval from Zimmer
GmbH.
Zimmer GmbH shall accept no liability for any damage caused by improper use.
NOTE:
The SB/SBZ series of swivel jaws should only be used in its original state with its original accessories, without any
unauthorized changes and within the scope of its dened parameters for use.

3. Function
The swivel jaws of the SB/SBZ series are designed for picking up, transporting and positioning workpieces. The installation options
have been designed so that the swivel jaws can be installed on grippers from Zimmer GmbH. The SB/SBZ series swivel jaws dier
in the mechanics of how force is transmitted and in how the drive works. The SB series is driven by a double-acting pneumatic rotary
cylinder. The force is transmitted to the output shaft by a toothed belt. The SBZ series is driven by a double-acting linear pneumatic
cylinder. The force is transmitted to the output shaft by a gear train. The rotational movement is limited by mechanical limit stops. The
line of accessories includes corresponding sensors for position sensing.

6.1 Adjusting the swivel angle – SB series
The swivel angle is preset to 180° at the factory (Image !)
The swivel angle can be reduced to 90°by replacing the factory-installed limit stop 3.
(Image @)
The swivel jaw is equipped with external limit stops 5, which allow the swivel angle to be
adjusted a maximum of +/- 3° per limit stop.
► Depressurize the swivel jaw
► Loosen the locknut at the respective limit stop
► Adjust the adjustment screw at the respective limit stop
It must be ensured that the adjustment screw always makes solid contact with the
respective stop surface
► Tighten the locknut

► Before the inductive sensor 4is installed on the swivel jaw, it has to be inserted into the
protective sleeve em included in the scope of delivery.
► Afterwards, the inductive sensor 4can be positioned in the desired sensing hole en and
clamped with the corresponding stud bolt eo.
When laying the cables, make sure they do not cross the swivel jaw's working area and
always comply with the manufacturer's specied permissible bending radius.
► Close unused sensing holes with the covers included in the scope of delivery to prevent dirt
from getting into the mechanics of the swivel jaws.
► Use stud bolts eo to clamp the covers, too.

To do so, see the dimensional drawings on the product data sheets at
www.zimmer-group.de
► Afterwards, the inductive sensors 4can be pushed into the mounting blocks,

Inductive sensor NJ8-E2S:
Rated switching distance Sn= 2.00 mm
Stored switching distance Sa= 1.60 mm

When laying the cables, make sure they do not cross the swivel jaw's working area
and always comply with the manufacturer's specied permissible bending radius.
► The switch cams eq and the clamping blocks for the inductive sensors can be installed on
the interior or exterior of the swivel jaws.

► The swivel jaws of the SB/SBZ series operate maintenance-free for up to 10 million swiveling cycles.
7. Maintenance
INFORMATION:
The actual service life of the swivel jaws is dependent on many factors:
•Drive with ltered compressed air, dry or lubricated
If operation begins with lubricated air, then the swivel jaws must always be operated
with lubricated air after that
• Operation in one direction, operation with change of direction
• Environmental conditions (humidity, temperature, etc.)
• The performance data for the corresponding use/handling weight
• Shock absorber setting
INFORMATION:
Complete removal of the swivel jaws can only be carried out by Zimmer.
NOTE:
Always ensure that the adjustment screws make contact with the respective limit stop surfaces, so that the shock
absorber does not serve as an end stop.
6.5 End position damping – SBZ series
The following steps should be carried out to adjust the end position damping 7:
► Loosen the shock absorber locknut hm and turn the shock absorber hn clockwise until
the drive ange 1moves
► Unscrew the shock absorber by 3-4 turns counterclockwise (decreases damping)
► Loosely attach the locknut
► Remove persons, all tools and other objects from the swivel range of the swivel jaws
► Connect the swivel jaws to the energy supply and ll them with properly prepared air
► Open the adjustment screws of the ow control valves ho by a few turns
► Pressurize the swivel jaws with compressed air on alternating sides and check the settings
► If necessary, make adjustments using the adjustment screws of the ow control valves and
by adjusting the shock absorber
► Clamp the shock absorber locknuts
An ideal setting is reached if a uniform swivel movement and an approach to the limit stops with
exhaust air throttling is guaranteed.
