Corrosion
The KSC-D's tool body has been nickel-plated. Carriages and jaws are made of steel. Well-
maintained coolant is necessary to guarantee ideal functionality which must demonstrate
specified concentrations, pH values and conductivity properties.
Deviations from manufacturer data may lead to a formation of corrosion.
4.3
Jaw range
The reliable function of the clamping device is significantly affected by the selection of the
correct jaws.
For further data, please see the current catalogue >> Schunk stationary Workholding <<

Servicing, cleaning, maintenance
No special maintenance required, the spindle and the internal vice components have been
protected by the carriage and central jaw design. Regularly grease carriage contact surfaces
,
e.g. with MOTOREX Supergliss 68 K to ISO VG 68
.
We recommend cleaning the double vice when replacing jaws as these components are
fast and easy to remove.
Regularly clean the vice through the two cleaning bores on the face of the
front carriage using a compressed-air gun to prevent deposits of small chips and swarf.
5.1
General cleaning / lubrication
Lubricate the lubrication nipples (pos. 180) on both carriages using multi-purpose grease once
a month. For this purpose, turn the carriages towards the far inside.
If you have applied excessive amounts of grease, it may be possible that the closing disc
(pos. 170) in the carriage (pos. 60) is pressed out.
Check whether or not the scraper (pos. 80) is faulty.
