Why is the clamping force getting weaker in my SCHUNK KSP3?

  Sarah BrownAug 11, 2025
  If the clamping force of your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment is weakening, there are several potential causes. First, check the connection and seal screws to ensure they are tightly sealed; reseal or replace them if necessary. Second, the seals may be damaged, requiring you to disassemble the clamping force block and replace all the seals. Finally, inadequate lubrication could be the issue, so lubricate the lubrication nipples with LINOMAX.

  If the chuck jaws on your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment clamping force block won't move, begin by checking the air supply to ensure it hasn't been interrupted. Next, verify that the system pressure meets the technical specifications of your clamping system, and increase it if it's too low. Also, inspect the connections to ensure they are correctly connected and functioning properly. Make sure any unused air connections are sealed using the provided accessories. Lastly, check for and remove any set-screws from active air connections that may be sealed.

  If the piston in your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment won't move, start by checking the maintenance unit to ensure the air is properly oiled and perform any necessary maintenance. Consider placing the oiler closer to the clamping system and adjusting the oil quantity. Also, remove any set-screws from sealed active air connections. If the chuck piston screw or the piston rod/screw connection is broken due to overload, send the clamping system to SCHUNK for repairs, or disassemble it yourself and repair it using original SCHUNK spare parts.

  If the monitoring functions of the jaw stroke positions on your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment are not working properly, first, loosen the adjustment screws and readjust the monitoring piece if it's pressed too tightly against the housing. Second, readjust the monitoring piece for the required function if it is not positioned exactly. Third, adjust the clamping stroke to the workpiece to >0.3 mm/jaw if the pressure change due to clamping stroke is too low. Finally, replace the seals in the cover and adapter plate if they are damaged.

  If your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment clamping force block does not complete its stroke, the issue might be chips or dirt lodged between the covering strip and base jaws. To resolve this, unscrew the covering strip (item 8) and remove any chips and dirt.
