NOTE:
The SB/SBZ series of swivel jaws should only be used in its original state with its original accessories, without any
unauthorized changes and within the scope of its dened parameters for use.
Zimmer GmbH shall accept no liability for any damage caused by improper use
The SB/SBZ series of swivel jaws are intended to be used exclusively in pairs for picking up workpieces and for swiveling and positioning
them according to the technical design. The swivel jaws may be used only as intended and in accordance with the technical parameters.
Any use other than the intended use requires written approval from Zimmer GmbH. Modications to the swivel jaws, such as adding drill
holes or threads, may be made only with prior approval from Zimmer GmbH.
Use of the swivel jaws under extreme conditions, such as aggressive liquids and abrasive dust, is subject to prior approval from Zimmer
GmbH.
Zimmer GmbH shall accept no liability for any damage caused by improper use.

INFORMATION:
The swivel jaws of the SB series are always delivered in pairs.
The SBZ series swivel jaws can be ordered separately as a driven SB-...-...-B swivel jaw and as
an SB-...-G counter-support swivel jaw.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: SB/SBZ series of swivel jaws
3. Function
The swivel jaws of the SB/SBZ series are designed for picking up, transporting and positioning workpieces. The installation options
have been designed so that the swivel jaws can be installed on grippers from Zimmer GmbH. The SB/SBZ series swivel jaws dier
in the mechanics of how force is transmitted and in how the drive works. The SB series is driven by a double-acting pneumatic rotary
cylinder. The force is transmitted to the output shaft by a toothed belt. The SBZ series is driven by a double-acting linear pneumatic
cylinder. The force is transmitted to the output shaft by a gear train. The rotational movement is limited by mechanical limit stops. The
line of accessories includes corresponding sensors for position sensing.

6.1 Adjusting the swivel angle – SB series
The swivel angle is preset to 180° at the factory (Image !)
The swivel angle can be reduced to 90°by replacing the factory-installed limit stop

The swivel jaw is equipped with external limit stops
adjusted a maximum of +/- 3° per limit stop.
► Depressurize the swivel jaw
► Loosen the locknut at the respective limit stop
► Adjust the adjustment screw at the respective limit stop
It must be ensured that the adjustment screw always makes solid contact with the

protective sleeve
► Afterwards, the inductive sensor
clamped with the corresponding stud bolt
When laying the cables, make sure they do not cross the swivel jaw's working area and
always comply with the manufacturer's specied permissible bending radius.
► Close unused sensing holes with the covers included in the scope of delivery to prevent dirt
from getting into the mechanics of the swivel jaws.
► Use stud bolts

6.5 End position damping – SBZ series
NOTE:
Always ensure that the adjustment screws make contact with the respective limit stop surfaces, so that the shock
absorber does not serve as an end stop.
The following steps should be carried out to adjust the end position damping
► Loosen the shock absorber locknut
the drive ange
► Unscrew the shock absorber by 3-4 turns counterclockwise (decreases damping)
► Loosely attach the locknut
► Remove persons, all tools and other objects from the swivel range of the swivel jaws
► Connect the swivel jaws to the energy supply and ll them with properly prepared air
► Open the adjustment screws of the ow control valves
► Pressurize the swivel jaws with compressed air on alternating sides and check the settings
► If necessary, make adjustments using the adjustment screws of the ow control valves and
by adjusting the shock absorber
► Clamp the shock absorber locknuts
An ideal setting is reached if a uniform swivel movement and an approach to the limit stops with
exhaust air throttling is guaranteed.
7. Maintenance
► The swivel jaws of the SB/SBZ series operate maintenance-free for up to 10 million swiveling cycles.

INFORMATION:
The actual service life of the swivel jaws is dependent on many factors:
•Drive with ltered compressed air, dry or lubricated
If operation begins with lubricated air, then the swivel jaws must always be operated
• Operation in one direction, operation with change of direction
• The performance data for the corresponding use/handling weight
• Shock absorber setting
Driven with compressed air in accordance with ISO 8573.1 with the following parameters:
- Solid content class 2
- Moisture content class 4
- Oil content: Class 1 (non-lubricated air)
Despite the aforementioned maintenance-free feature, we recommend regularly checking the swivel jaws in accordance with the general duty to exercise proper care. For this purpose, we recommend the intervals listed in the table.
