SENSO 3000Accurate measuring of the clamping forcefor hydraulic chucksThe hydraulic clamping technology is a well-known, provenand reliable method for the clamping of tools. Thanksto its completely closed design the system is sealed andimpervious, requires extremely low maintenance andguarantees longevity. Following many years of generaluse, however, thermal and mechanical influences can leadto a reduction in clamping force. The result can be a poortool life and a diminished surface quality including expensivetool breakages during machining operations.Determining the loss of clamping force was until nowextremely costly and inaccurate. It involved either determiningthe number of clamping screw rotations or thetorque with the assistance of a proofing bar and a torquekey or the expansion rate applying an accurate internalmeasuring instrument.SENSO 3000 determines the clamping force of the hydraulicchuck via a pressure sensitive plug gauge. The entirelength of the plug gauge is clamped in the hydraulic chuckso that when tightening the clamping screw the clampingpressure of the chuck is optimally applied. The clampingforce measuring instrument displays the clamping force asan absolute measurement value on the one hand and as apercentage clamping force in relation to a reference valuethat can be set individually on the other. This way, SENSO3000 can be adapted to customer specific application conditionsand requirementsThe clamping force measuring instrument is supplied witha plug gauge for the respective clamping diameter as wellas a carbide proofing bar for calibration purposes and a CR2430 type battery – all in a sturdy and handy case.The new Guhring SENSO 3000 measuring instrumentoffers a precise, quick and simple as well as consistentmethod of measuring the clamping force. An added advantageis the mobility of the system, i.e. for measuring withinmachines and fixtures.Clamping diametermmCode no.Guhring no. 4038Availability6.0 6,000 •8.0 8,000 •10.0 10,000 •12.0 12,000 •14.0 14,000 •16.0 16,000 •18.0 18,000 •20.0 20,000 •25.0 25,000 •32.0 32,000 •4 Optimal Lubrication
