Safety
Safety instructions and safety equipment serve to prevent accidents and dam-
age when working on the power chuck. The safety instructions contain warn-
ings and basic safety instructions. In addition to the safety instructions in this

protection of personnel and the environment from dangers and trouble-free
operation is only possible when all safety instructions and warnings in this op-
erating manual are observed.
2.1
Intended Use
The power chuck DURO-A RC is used to clamp regularly and irregularly
shaped workpieces. Only metal workpieces may be clamped in the power
chuck DURO-A RC. Other materials are only permissible by arrangement with
RÖHM GmbH.
To ensure safe clamping of the workpiece with the machining forces which oc-
cur, the clamped material must have adequate rigidity for the clamping force
and may only be slightly compressible. The clamping force is given in the
clamping force diagram (Clamping Force-Speed Diagram [
}
65]).
Depending on the construction size of the power chuck DURO-A RC, the max-
imum permissible actuating force and speed must be observed (Overview of
Construction Sizes [
}
63]).
The power chuck DURO-A RC may be installed in machine tools for cutting
and non-cutting processes. The power chuck DURO-A RC may be installed
and used both horizontally and vertically. Stationary machining without rota-
tion of the power chuck DURO-A RC is permitted. Locking and unlocking is
only permitted with the original safety key of RÖHM GmbH.
