Safety

2.1

Use for intended purpose

The clamping unit KEC is intended to serve both as an individual product and integrated into a cylinder
DNC (for cylinder with clamping unit DNCKE) for the following usage:
– holding, clamping and to avoid movement of round material
– braking (stopping a movement) for processing or handling procedures in a normal industry environ­
ment without substances and ambient conditions that influence the function or materials used
The intended use has been checked by the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and is docu­
mented by a DGUV test certificate.
If used as a braking device, e.g. for interrupting potentially dangerous movements in a danger zone,
a regular check is required of the overtravel as a factor of the travel speed and the frequency of
the braking procedures (increased wear) as well as of the local operating conditions (min./max. tem­
perature).
2.2

Foreseeable misuse

The clamping unit is not suitable for positioning tasks or for transmitting torques and lateral forces.
A self-aligning rod coupler (è 11 Accessories) can prevent the transmission of lateral forces and bend­
ing moments.
