DURO-A RC
55 / 91
The DURO-A RC is a power chuck with individually adjustable jaws. Only ori-
ginal RÖHM base jaws and original RÖHM one-piece jaws may be used.
Third-party makes may impair the safety of the power chuck DURO-A RC and
lead to damage.
The jaws used must comply with the following specifications:
▪ the jaws must be designed as light as possible;
▪ the clamping point of the jaws must lie as close as possible to the power
chuck;
▪ the jaws must be adapted to the size (equal or smaller), the weight (equal
or lighter) and the rigidity (equal or higher) of the jaws assigned to the
power chuck. If the jaws are heavier or larger or if they are less rigid than
the jaws assigned to the power chuck, the higher centrifugal force and the
higher load of the power chuck must be taken into account. The neces-
sary clamping force and maximum speed must be reduced.
The maximum permissible clamping diameter of the jaws and the limits of the
jaws must be observed.
The power chuck DURO-A RC can be used for both wet and dry machining.
The permissible usage and environmental conditions must be observed (En-
vironmental and Operational Conditions [

▪ use of welded jaws;
▪ use of the power chuck DURO-A RC in explosive atmospheres;
▪ operation with the safety key inserted;
▪ operation with unlocked jaws;
▪ operation with modifications not approved by the manufacturer;
▪ operation outside of the defined operating parameters;
▪ operation with insufficient maintenance;
▪ operation without safety equipment;
