Important Safety Precautions
DANGER

Failure to follow the safety precautions below will result inserious injury or death.

Provide sufficient strength for the draw pipe (Refer to pages 43-45).
Provide sufficient screw depth for the draw pipe.
Firmly tighten the draw pipe.
For Machine Tool Manufactures
・If the draw pipe break, the gripping force is instantly
lost and this is dangerous as work will fly out.

・

If the screw depth of the draw pipe is insufficient, thescrew will break and the gripping force will be lost
instantly, and this is dangerous as work will fly out.
If the engagement of the screw of the draw pipe is・・loose, vibration may occur resulting in breakage ofthe screw. If the screw breaks, the gripping force will
be lost instantly, which is dangerous as the work will
fly out.
If the draw pipe is unbalanced, vibration occurs, thescrew is broken and the gripping force will be lost
instantly, which is dangerous as the work will fly out.
Use a cylinder with a lock valve (safety valve, check valve) incorporated incase of sudden hydraulic pressure drop due to blackout, malfunction of
the hydraulic pump, etc. Further, use a solenoid valve with a circuit thatretains the gripping position when no current is carried.
For Machine Tool Manufactures

・If the hydraulic pressure
suddenly drops due to blackout
or malfunction of the hydraulicpump, etc., this is dangerous
as work will fly out.

・

Lock valve retains the hydraulicpressure inside the cylinder
temporarily, when the hydraulicpressure suddenly drops dueto blackout or malfunction of
the hydraulic pump, etc.

Important Safety Precautions
WARNING

Failure to follow the safety precautions below could
result in serious injury or death.

Do not modify the chuck.
For All Users
・It may not only break the chuck but the chuck
and the work may fly out, which is dangerous.

・If you attach a locator or jig on the chuck,use the taps of the chuck surface.
(Refer to page 34).
Periodically supply adequate grease (Refer to page 35-36). Turn off power
before adding grease.
For All Users

・

Insufficient grease supply lowers the gripping
force, causes operation failure due to lower
hydraulic pressure, lowers the gripping precision,and causes abnormal wearing and seizing, etc.

・This is dangerous as the work could fly out froma drop in the gripping force.
Do not operate the machine
after drinking alcohol or taking
medication.
For All Users

・

Do not operate the machine wearing
gloves, a necktie, and other loose
clothing or
jewelry.

・Dangerous sincethese lead tooperation mistakes
and misjudgment.

For All Users

Dangerous since
it will be caught.

Do not grip a chuck with a chuck.
For All Users
・

Because it is easy to confuse the specifications ofeach chuck and the protrusion become long and is
apt to raise rotation speed, it is apt to exceed thespecifications of the base chuck. The chuck may
break and the chuck or work could fly out.

153-2. Relationship between gripping force and rotation speed
1. Maximum static gripping force
The static gripping force is the gripping force when the chuck is at a stop.
The power chuck has a mechanism to convert input force (piston thrust force, draw pipe
drawing force) from the cylinder to gripping force. Therefore, the gripping force when theallowable maximum input force becomes the maximum static gripping force.
However, the gripping force is different depending on the state of grease lubrication, greasein use, height of the jaw, etc. The maximum static gripping force specified in thespecification is the value under the following conditions:・The Kitagawa standard soft jaw is used as the jaw.

・The attaching bolts of the soft jaw are tightened at the specified torque.
(Refer to page 25)

・The numerical values are obtained with the Kitagawa gripping force meter . The gripping
position of the gripping force meter is at a position 1/2 of the height of the soft jaw.

・・

CHUCK GREASE PRO is used. (Refer to page 35).
A variable displacement pump with the discharge volume of 20 liters/min or more isused as the hydraulic source. The pressure is set by the pressure control equipment of
the pump itself, or the pressure reduction valve equipped separately.

Fig.5

16

2. Allowable maximum rotation speed
In the case of outside diameter gripping, when the chuck is rotated, the gripping force
lowers due to the centrifugal force of the top jaw. Therefore, the rotation speed when the
dynamic gripping force (gripping force during rotation) becomes approximately 1/3 of the
maximum static gripping force is set as the allowable maximum rotation speed. The
centrifugal force is different depending on the mass of the top jaw and the barycentric
position as well as the rotation speed. The allowable maximum rotation speed specified in
the specification is the value under the following conditions:・・・The Kitagawa standard soft jaw is used.
The base jaw and soft jaw are attached to the position refer to Fig.6.
Grip the gripping force meter in the center of the jaw stroke, and at this point, the basejaw is attached at the position where the periphery side end of the base jaw and thechuck periphery are almost lined up.

・The numerical values are obtained by the Kitagawa gripping force meter. The gripping
position of the gripping force meter is at a position 1/2 of the height of the soft jaw.

Fig.6

To avoid serious accidents caused by the chuck or work flying out:・

Determine the gripping force required for processing by the machine tool
manufacturer or user, and check that the required gripping force is provided
before processing. The gripping force of the chuck must not exceed the
maximum static gripping force.

・

Determine the rotation speed required for processing by the machine tool
manufacturer or user based on the gripping force required for the processing.
The rotation speed at this point must not exceed the allowable maximum
rotation speed.
17

・

When determining the cutting conditions, consider about the reducing gripping force
by the centrifugal force and the limitation of the gripping force by gripping height.

・Pay attention since the gripping force is different depending on the state of the oil
supply, grease in use, height of the jaw, performance of the pump and the pressure
reducing valve, piping state, etc.

3. Relationship between gripping force and rotation speed
As the rotation speed becomes higher, the centrifugal force of the jaw increases and thegripping force lowers. The curves displayed in Fig.7 shows relationships between therotation speed and the centrifugal force when using the base jaw and the standard soft jaw
which are not exceeding outer diameter of chuck. The centrifugal force differs significantly
depending on the size and shape of the top jaw and the base jaw attaching position,
therefore, when the rotation speed is high, actual measurement using a Kitagawa gripping
force meter is required.

Fig.7
18

・

In the case of processing a considerably unbalanced work, lower the rotation
speed. The work will fly out and this is dangerous.

・Vibration is generated if there is unbalance due to the work and the jig, etc.
Vibration decreases process precision and shortens the working life of thechuck, even possibly breaking it. Correct the unbalance by using a balance
weight, etc., or lower the rotation speed for use.

・In the case of heavy cutting at high rotation speed, vibration is easily
generated in the same manner as the unbalance of the chuck, therefore, set
the cutting conditions appropriate for the dynamic gripping force and machine
rigidity.

19

3-3. Relationship between gripping part center height, static
griping force and input force / Relationship between top jaw
mass moment and gripping force loss
If the gripping part center height of the used top jaw (dimension H in Fig. 8) is higher than
the gripping part center height of the standard soft jaw, a large load is applied to the basejaw, jaw attaching bolts, etc. To prevent these parts from being broken, it is necessary to
use the machine by using a lower input force than the allowable maximum input force.
Additionally, if the top jaw is larger and heavier, the centrifugal force generated at the top
jaw will increase. It is necessary to examine the dynamic gripping force considering thecentrifugal force and to use the machine at a rotation speed that can withstand the cutting
force.

G: Center of mass of the top jaw
m: Mass of the top jaw
r: Distance from the center of mass of the top jaw to the chuck center
H: Gripping center height

Fig.8

・

Keep the height of the top jaw within the range of the gripping force limit table.
(Refer to Fig.9)

・

If a top jaw is taller than the standard soft jaw, use it at the input force (piston
thrust force, draw pipe drawing force) specified in the gripping force limit
table. If it is used without lowering the input, the chuck will break and this isdangerous as the chuck and work will fly out.

Analysis of the gripping force, input force and rotation speed using Fig. 9, is carried out
as shown below.
About ① and ② of a Fig 9, positions when a base jaw is attached to the body differ.
① Base jaw is attached at the position where the periphery side end of the base jaw
and the chuck periphery are almost lined up.
② Base jaw is attached to a body outermost position.
The graph of ② is used for the body outermost position for base jaw at attachment.
・For example, in the case of QJR08, when base jaw is attached at the position where
the periphery side end of the base jaw and the chuck periphery are almost lined up(Refer to Fig.9-1-①). Standard soft jaw (mass moment 156kg・mm), it cannot exceed
5000min-1 (rpm), and the gripping force loss due to the centrifugal force at thisrotation speed is 66kN . The required static gripping force for the dynamic gripping
force (gripping force loss by static gripping force - centrifugal force) to become 1/3 ofthe static gripping force is 100kN, and the required input to obtain this gripping force
is 45kN. However, it is necessary to use at the gripping part center height H=25 mm
or less.
In the case of QJR08, when base jaw is attached to a body outermost position(Refer
to Fig.9-1-②). Standard soft jaw (mass moment 210kg・mm), it cannot exceed
4200min-1 (rpm),

・

If the gripping part center height H is high, it is necessary to lower the static gripping
force.

・・

If the top jaw mass moment is large, the rotation speed needs to be lowered.
If the rotation speed is high, the gripping force loss due to the centrifugal force
becomes large. The centrifugal force is proportional to the square of the rotation
speed.

The required static gripping force and input force required at the rotation speed in use are
predicted from Fig.9, however, it contains a number of hypothetical conditions. Therefore, itis necessary to only use these as reference, and the processing conditions must be
determined after trial cutting without fail.

23

24

4. Attaching Base jaws andForming Soft jaws
Always use original base jaws.
Other manufacture’s base jaws will be cause to damage of the chuck.

4-1. Joining soft jaws to base jaws

・Be sure to use the attached bolts. In an unavoidable case, use the bolt ofstrength 12.9 (M22 or more, 10.9) or more and sufficient length.

・Never start the spindle when attaching bolts have been loosing. The top jaws
will discharge.

・

Always tighten the bolts at the specified torque. If the torque is insufficient orexcessive, the bolt will break, which is dangerous as the chuck or work will fly
out.

・

If rotate lock pin while stroke to close position of the chuck, it will be cause of
breaking the chuck.

・

Hold base jaw and soft jaw while process of replacing them, because there is adanger of injury or damage if they fall down by the weights of themselves.
26

・Check that the reference mark on the side of the base jaw is within the stroke
range. Full stroke the jaws at least once a day to check it before work or whenreplacing base jaws. If it goes out of the stroke range due to loosening of thedraw nut, etc., the work may not be gripped, and this is dangerous as the work
will fly out.

・When gripping the work, use it by keeping the position within the appropriate
stroke range. Gripping in the center of the stroke is the most stable for themechanism, and the best precision can be obtained.
・

When gripping near the stroke end or stroke start, the work may not be
gripped sometimes according to the deviation, etc., of the gripping partallowance of the work, and this is dangerous as the work will fly out.

・When gripping near the stroke end or stroke start, the chuck may break
and the chuck or work could fly out.

Set the hydraulic pressure when forming the same as whenprocessing of the work, or slightly higher. Additionally, in thecase of inside diameter gripping, it is necessary to use theinput at 1/2 of the allowable maximum input or less.

・When the ring distorts, lower the hydraulic pressure or change
the ring into a shape which does not easily distort.

5. Trial cutting・

Remove the ring for forming and grip the work to check the jaw
stroke.

・

Implement trial cutting to check the process precision and that
there is no slip, etc.

・Contacting on the gripping surface is to be 2 points contact of
the side A and the side B when gripping.
29

4-5. Forming method when you use forming jig
1. Preparation of the jig for forming
・Prepare the jig for forming. (There is a commerciallyavailable product.)・

Attach the pin (Example 1) or the bolt and nut (Example 2)
by dividing equally into 3 portions onto the ring shapeplate. Make the ring into a shape with sufficient thickness
which does not distort.

2. Gripping of the jig for forming・Operate the switch valve and maximize the opening of thejaw. Then, operate the switch valve to insert the jig forforming into the bolt hole of the soft jaw to grip. At thistime, grip by pressing the ring end surface of the jig forforming onto the jaw so as not to generate run-out.

・

Check that it is gripping almost in the center of theappropriate stroke.

・

Set the hydraulic pressure when forming slightly higher
than when processing the work.

3. Forming・Process the gripping part (dimension φD’) of the work inthe state that the jig for forming is kept gripped. The φD’part is to be approximately the same diameter (H7) as thediameter of the gripping part of the work, and process tobe surface roughness at 6s or less.

4. Trial cutting・

Remove the jig for forming and grip the work to check thejaw stroke.

・

Implement trial cutting to check the process precision andthat there is no slip, etc.

・Contacting on the gripping surface is to be 2 points contactof the side A and the side B when gripping.

5. Usage
This product is a device to fix a work-piece when it is processed by the lathe machine or therotary table.
The rotary cylinder closes the jaw and fixes a work-piece so that it does not move during
processing. The chuck opens the jaw after having processed it and remove a work-piece.

・

When replacing the base jaws, carefully clean the sliding surface of the body and thebase jaws. Failure to do this may cause a precision failure.

・

Set the hydraulic pressure according to the shape of the work and the cutting
conditions. Pipe shape work, etc., may be distorted if they are tightened at a highgripping force.

5-1. Precautions during gripping work with chuck・

When gripping a work with thechuck, do not get fingers or hands
become caught. This could cause
crushed or cut fingers and hands.

5-2. Precautions during gripping work in irregular shape・Cast metal, pitched shape or taper shape cannot be gripped.

・

If the protrusion of the work is long, support it with a center or the steady rest.
If the protrusion is long the tip of the work turns, and this is dangerous as thework will fly out.

31

5-3. Precautions related to usage of jaw

・If a base jaw other than one made by Kitagawa Corporation is used, theengagement will be inferior, and the master jaw will be deformed, the gripping
precision will worsen, and the work will fly out due to gripping failure, which isdangerous.

・

If a soft jaw other than one made by Kitagawa Corporation is used, theengagement will be inferior, and the base jaw will be deformed, the gripping
precision will worsen, and the work will fly out due to gripping failure, which isdangerous.

・Do not use a top jaw with a different serration pitch from the base jaw. The
engagement of the crests of the serration will become insufficient, therefore,
the serration crests will break when gripping the work, and this is dangerous
as the jaw and work will fly out.

・Do not use the soft jaw by welding to join for extension. The jaw will break due
to insufficient strength and the serration part will become distorted due towelding. As a result, the engagement will worsen, the serration crests will
break, and this is dangerous as the work will fly out.

32

5-4. Precautions related to processing<1> Unbalance・In the case of processing largely unbalanced work, lower the rotation speed.
The work will fly out and this is dangerous.

・Vibrations are generated if there is unbalance owing to the work or the jig, etc.
Vibration not only will impart a negative influence on the process precision
but also the endurance of the chuck being remarkably shortened, and thechuck may break. Correct the unbalance using balance weights, etc., or lower
the rotation speed for use.

・

Heavy cutting at high rotation speed easily generates vibration in the samemanner as chuck unbalance, therefore, set cutting conditions appropriate forthe dynamic gripping force and machine rigidity.
<2> Interference, contact, impact
・Before starting work, check that the top jaw, locator, work, etc., and the tooland the tool post, etc., do not interfere at low rotation and then start
processing.

・

Do not allow anything to impact the chuck, jaw, and the work. The chuck will
break and this is dangerous as the chuck and work will fly out.

・

If the tool and the tool post contact the chuck or the work due to malfunction
or tape mistake, etc., and impact is given, immediately stop the rotation, andcheck that there are no abnormalities in the top jaw, base jaw and bolts ofeach part, etc.
<3> Coolant
・Unless coolant with a rust preventive effect is used, rust will occur inside thechuck and gripping force drop may result. The work will fly out due to thegripping force drop and this is dangerous.

33

5-5. Attachment of locator and jig
・In the case of attaching the locator and the jig on the chuck surface, use the taps
specified in Fig. 11.

・Attach the locator or the jig with bolts which have sufficient strength due tocentrifugal force. The locator or the jig may fly out, and this is dangerous.

34

6. Maintenance and Inspection
6-1. Periodic Inspection・・・

Clean and lubricate the sliding surface when replacing the base jaws.
Add grease at least once a day.
Fully stroke the jaw before starting work or upon supplying grease, and check that thejaw is inside the appropriate stroke area. (Refer to page 26)

・Always clean the chuck body or the sliding surface using an air gun, etc., at the end of
work.

・

Check that the bolts of each part are not loosened at least once every 3 months.

・Disassemble and clean at least once every 6 months or every 100,000 strokes (onceevery 2 months or more for cutting cast metal).

6-2. Grease lubrication
1. Position to lubricate
・・・

Lubricate using a grease gun from the grease nipple on the rear body periphery part.
Supply the grease both times when the jaws are opened and closed.
After lubrication, repeat opening and closing the jaw several times without grippingwork.

2. Grease to use
・Use the designated grease specified in Table 5. If grease other than the designatedgrease is used, sufficient effect may not be obtained.

3. Frequency of lubrication
・Lubricate the sliding surface when replacing the base jaws.

・Add grease at least once every day.

・

Lubricate same volume each jaw. Difference will be cause of the unbalance.

・

Add approximately 2-4g up to 8 inches and 4-8g for 10 inches or larger of grease to theeach jaw.

・In the case of high rotation or in the case of using a large amount of water soluble
cutting oil, increase the frequency of lubrication according to the usage conditions.

・To keep the chuck running in the best condition for a long time, adequate greaselubrication is necessary. Insufficient grease lubrication causes a drop in thegripping force, operation failure at low hydraulic pressure, drop in gripping
precision, abnormal wearing, seizing, etc. The work will fly out due to a drop in
the gripping force and this is dangerous.

Remove the eyebolt or the belt without fail after using. If the chuck is rotatedwith the eyebolt, etc., attached, they may fly out and this is dangerous.

・Disassemble and clean the chuck at least once every 6 months or every
100,000 strokes (once every 2 months or more for cutting cast metal). If
cutting powder or other substances stagnate inside the chuck, it will lead toinsufficient stroke and a drop in the gripping force, and this is dangerous as
the work will fly out. Check each part carefully and replace any part that isworn or cracked.

・After inspection, apply sufficient grease in the designated areas andreassemble.

・After assembling, measure the gripping force according to the method on
page 16, and check that the specified gripping force is obtained.

・

If you stop the machine for a long period of time, remove the work from themachine. If you don't, the work can drop due to a drop in the hydraulicpressure or the cylinder can stop or malfunction.

・If you stop the machine or store the chuck for a long period of time, add
grease to prevent rust.

For Machine Tool Manufactures
Following pages are described for machine tool manufacturers (personnel who attach achuck to a machine). Please read following instruction carefully when you attach or detacha chuck to machine, and please sufficiently understand and follow the instructions for safe
operation.

8. Attachment
8-1. Outline drawing of attachment

Fig.13
・

Attach the manual switching valve at a position where it is easy to operate for theattaching equipment.

・Install the hydraulic unit at a position where the drain hose is not kinked and the needleof the pressure gauge is easily read.
41

・When other actuators are operated by the same hydraulic pressure source as
the cylinder for chuck, be sure that a pressure drop of the cylinder does notoccur during use. A hydraulic pressure drop leads to a drop in the gripping
force which could allow the work to fly out.

・As to the drain hose・ Use one with inside diameter φ32.
・・

Use a transparent vinyl hose for visualization.
Provide a stream slope, without air pocket. This will ensure no backpressure.

・The end of the hose is physically above the oil level. (Refer to Fig.13)

・

If the hydraulic oil stagnates inside the cylinder, oil leakage occurs, which may
cause a fire.

・・Install after removing the dust inside the pipe completely.
Add a filter to the pressure supply line. If foreign matters gets inside thecylinder, this is dangerous since the rotation valve of the cylinder will seize,
the hose will tear off, and the cylinder will rotate. This is also dangerous as thework will fly out.

・Always use a flexible hose for the hydraulic piping to the cylinder, and thebending force or tensile force of the pipe must not be applied to the cylinder.
Use a pipe inside diameter as large as possible and keep the piping length as
short as possible.

・

Especially, when a large sized hydraulic unit is used, excessive surge pressure is
generated and the gripping force becomes large, therefore, it may result in breakageof the chuck or the lowering of endurance. Restrain the surge pressure by adoptinga throttle valve, etc.
