  • Page 19: Technical Data

    For the chuck THW plus it's necessary to determine those jaw with data specific. Calculation examples are in the chapter fine serration "Technology" in the SCHUNK-lathe-chuck-catalog or in the [kgm] chapter "Special jaws/Technology" in the SCHUNK-power- chuck-catalog. Those catalogs are also available as down- load at www.de.schunk.com.

  • Page 23 Technical data (–) for gripping from the outside inwards (+) for gripping from the inside outwards DANGER Risk to life and limb of the operating personnel and significant property damage when the RPM limit is exceeded! With grip- ping from the outside inwards, and with increasing RPM, the effective clamping force is reduced by the magnitude of the in- creasing centrifugal force (the forces are opposed).
  • Page 24: Calculation Example: Required Initial Clamping Force Fsp0 For A Given Rpm N

    Technical data NOTICE This calculated force must not be larger than the maximum clamping force ΣS engraved on the chuck. See also "Chuck data" table ( 6.1, Page 19) From the above formula it is evident that the sum of the effective clamping force F and the total centrifugal force F is multiplied by...

    Attachment and disassembly of the chuck Attachment and disassembly of the chuck The item numbers specified for the corresponding individual com- ponents relate to chapter drawings.( 12, Page 41) Pre-assembly measures Carefully lift the product (e.g. using suitable lifting gear) from the packaging.
  • Page 29 Attachment and disassembly of the chuck with a depth gauge R2 = R1 + 0.3 mm (max. + 0.5 mm) You have to ensure that the piston can be moved to the foremost (jaw change) position. To do this, ensure that the dimensions for the attachment (see Fig.
  • Page 30 Lubricate before commissioning the chuck Before commissioning, move the chuck in the open position. Press three strokes SCHUNK special grease LINOMAX into each of the grease nipples using a high-pressure grease gun. To achieve the optimal grease distribution and the maximum clamping force, close and open the chuck several times over the entire clamping stroke.
  • Page 31: Disassembling And Assembling The Chuck

    Attachment and disassembly of the chuck Disassembling and assembling the chuck The chuck may only be disassembled once it has been uninstalled (see Mounting the chuck, chapter 7.2). • You can leave the base jaws (item 2) in the chuck. Move them to the outermost permissible position.
  • Page 32 Clean all individual components and check them for damage and wear. Only original SCHUNK spare parts may be used. The chuck is assembled in the same way but in the reverse order. Before installation, lubricate parts well with LINO MAX special grease.
  • Page 33: Function And Handling

    Function and handling Function and handling The item numbers specified for the corresponding individual com- ponents relate to chapter drawings.( 12, Page 41) Function of the chuck The type THW plus quick-change power chucks are actuated using a rotating solid or through-hole cylinder. The axial tensile or com- pressive forces are converted to the radial jaw clamping force via wedge bars positioned tangentially to the chuck body.
  • Page 34: Base Jaw Position

    Function and handling NOTICE The chuck piston (item 3) must not be moved so long as the jaw change key (item 90) is located in one of the jaw-change bolts (item 8) for the chuck. Risk of damage to the chuck. NOTICE The mechanical system of the chuck is opened when the protec- tion sleeve (item 4) is changed.
  • Page 35 Function and handling • Keep the base jaws and top jaws screwed in place for recurring work. Tighten the jaw mounting screws to the specified torque ( 4, Page 17). Tighten the jaw mounting screws with a torque wrench. On no account tighten the screws with an extension pipe or with ham- mer blows.
  • Page 36: Maintenance

    Number of strokes Lubricate all three segments evenly in order to avoid imbalances. (For product information about LINO MAX, see the "Accessories" chapter of the SCHUNK lathe chuck catalog or contact SCHUNK). CAUTION Allergic reactions due to grease in contact with skin! Wear gloves.
  • Page 37: Maintenance Intervals

    If the clamping force has dropped too far or if the base jaws and clamping piston no longer move properly, the chuck has to be dis- assembled, cleaned, and relubricated. Only original SCHUNK spare parts may be used. 01.00|ROTA THWplus |en...
