Power Chuck for the Oil Industry
February 1, 2015
SCHUNK is featuring the ROTA TB2 pneumatic self-contained power chuck, designed for the machining of rods and pipes for the oil, mining and construction industries. According to the company, this power chuck has many features that help to fully utilize the productivity potentials of modern machining centers. It has a large through-hole up to 560 mm, with an air pressure of 6 bar, achieving clamping forces up to 280 kN. The anti-corrosive coating is designed to significantly increase the service life of the chuck and the base jaw guidance is equipped with a special seal to prevent penetration of contamination, dust and chips, reducing maintenance costs. Its lubrication system is designed to ensure constant clamping forces and high process stability and an optional integrated pressure sensor provides process reliability and operational safety in daily use.
"To increase the cycle time in the machining of pipes and rods, the ROTA TB2 features a double acting check valve with extra large channel bores, which considerably speeds up the clamping process. After completion of machining, a quick action ventilation system allows for a quick release of the clamping set-up. If needed, the extended jaw stroke can be mechanically monitored by a radial stroke indicator on the outer diameter," said a company spokesperson.
The TB2 is available in sizes from 470 mm to 1,000 mm with bore diameters from 185 mm to 560 mm.
