Clamping glossary
ABS® connection: A connecting system for highest rigidity and accuracy. A version of this proven design is used for the quick jaw change on the Type D chuck. Centrifugal force compensation: Underneath the diaphragm, counter balance weights are mounted which are connected to the clamping jaws. They completely compensate the centrifugal force caused by the jaws. Roller cage clamping: Floating rollers are held in a roller cage. They extend from the location face of the clamping insert. In principle the workpiece is clamped like an external clamping but the steel rollers clamp in the pitch line. Special jaws with roller cages have been developed for the Type D . Since the clamping force is spread equally onto multiple tooth gaps easily deformed components can be clamped with less distortion. Air sensing: Air is fed through the contact face of the work stop. When the workpiece is in contact with the work stop the airflow is stopped and converted into a signal. If the component is not correctly
positioned or is lifted, the machine can not start or the spindle is stopped. This important feature is standard on all Type D chucks.
Medium supply: Coolant or air to clean / cool during the machining process come through the machine spindle/chuck. This important feature is also standard on all Type D chucks. Diaphragm clamping technology: It is based on the elastic deformation of the diaphragm (like a large belleville washer). There are no sliding parts and the mechanism is completely maintenance free. The specially and patented diaphragm of the Type D allows a constant fine regulatable clamping force with the highest precision.
Pre-locaters: These protect the clamping pins during engagement into the serration especially during automatic loading.
Pitch line clamping: Clamping gears in the pitch line with clamping pins, the radial datum for the bore to be machined is the pitch line. According to the application and customers request jaws with clamping pins to clamp in the pitch line are offered.
Ideal for PICK-UP machines: Radial access for quick change mechanism
