PERFORMANCE AND RESTRICTIONS ON USE
5.1
Pull-in and locking force
The pull-in and locking force describes the force with which the stud is
pulled in and clamped with positive interlocking in the clamping module.
5.2
Holding force
The holding force specifies the maximum permissible axial pull force of
the engagement screw. A safety value suitable for the application must
additionally be taken into consideration.
Elevated tensile forces can cause a material-induced elastic deformation
of the components.
5.3
Safety precautions
Safety catch
: An additional mechanical safety catch must be attached for
vertically and horizontally suspended clamping. For this usage, the user
must consider a risk analysis of the forces occurring and then carry out an
accident risk assessment in order to take appropriate protective measures.
People are not permitted to be present in the danger zone.
Rotating applications:
For rotary clamping, piston location sensing and
contact monitoring are mandatory for safety reasons. For rotary usage,
the user must consider a risk analysis of the shearing, centrifugal and
imbalance forces occurring and then carry out an accident risk
assessment in order to take appropriate protective measures. People are
not permitted to be present in the danger zone.
