8 Maintenance
8.1 Care and storage
• Store the TRIBOS clamping device in unpressurized condition.
• Only store and use the TRIBOS clamping device in horizontal
position, because it is just intended for horizontal applications.
Otherwise, the pump may draw with air.
• Before storing, lightly lubricate the TRIBOS clamping device, the
reduction insert and the TRIBOS toolholder.
• If the TRIBOS clamping device is not used for a longer period of
time, cover it with the optionally available protective cover.
• Each time the tool/work piece is changed, clean the clamping
diameter in the clamping area. (Suitable cylindrical brushes are
available separately).
• If the desired pressure can no longer be achieved, check the oil
level in the container inside the housing. To open the housing,
loosen the 4 screws at the back and remove the back wall. The
oil level can now be checked and, if necessary, oil can be
refilled. The oil container should always be full.
• If there is air in the pressure system (caused by improper
storage or insufficient oil in the oil container), release the air via
the air vent positioned at the top inside of the pressure hull. To
release air, slightly unscrew the vent screw and pump with the
actuation handle until the air escaped (oil leaks a little). Close
the vent screw (tightening torque max. 3 Nm) and check the oil
level of the container. If necessary, refill oil.
8.2 Maintenance and service
Service and repair work should only be carried out in accordance
with the service instructions by qualified personnel. This includes
SCHUNK service technicians or qualified technicians trained by
SCHUNK.
