Definition
In these operating instructions, the designation
“clamping unit” is used for:
– the individual product KEC
– the design type DNCKE integrated in the
cylinder
In these operating instructions, the designation
“round material” is used for:
– the transport lock for KEC
– the piston rod for DNCKE

2 Safety
2.1 Intended use
The clamping unit KEC is intended to serve both as an individual product and integrated into a DNC
cylinder (for cylinders with clamping unit DNCKE) for holding, clamping and inhibiting the movement of
round material.
2.2 Foreseeable misuse
The clamping unit is not intended as a brake. Use as a braking device (dynamic applications) does not
conform with the intended use.
The clamping unit is not suitable for positioning tasks or for transmitting torques and lateral forces. A
self-aligning rod coupler (è11 Accessories) can prevent the transmission of lateral forces and bending
moments.

2.3 General safety information
WARNING
Risk of injury! Uncontrolled movement. Piston rods can advance suddenly and unexpec
tedly, thereby causing injury to anybody who is in the positioning range.
Make sure that nobody can place his/her hand in the positioning range of the payload.
Make sure that no foreign objects are present in the positioning range of the payload.
Do not modify the product in any way. Improper modifications impair its function and
present a safety risk.
Observe legal regulations applicable to the destination.
Only use the product if it is in its original status and in perfect working order.
Use the product only within the defined values (è13 Technical data).
Observe product labelling.
Observe applicable documents.
Take into consideration the ambient conditions at the location of use.
Protect the product during storage and operation from the following:
– Wetness or moisture
– Corrosive coolant or other materials (e.g. ozone)
– UV radiation
– Oils, greases and grease-solvent vapours
– Grinding dust
– Glowing chips or sparks
2.4 Mounting and connecting
Observe tightening torques. Unless otherwise specified, the tolerance is ±20 %.
2.5 Qualification of specialized personnel
Only qualified specialized personnel may install, commission, service or disassemble the clamping unit.
The specialized personnel must be familiar with the installation and operation of electrical and pneu
matic control systems.

3 Function
Pressurising with compressed air on the supply port 2(èFig. 1)
opens the internal clamping component through a pneumatically
driven release mechanism. The round material can then move freely.
Fig. 3
P
If the compressed air supply port is exhausted, a spring-loaded
mechanism generates the clamping force of the clamping compon
ent. That way, the round material is clamped.
Fig. 4
4 Transport
Take product weight into account (è13 Technical data).
5 Installation
5.1 Mechanical installation
Prerequisites
Note
Lateral loads and bending moments exerted on the round material damage its function
and destroy the internal clamping component.
Make sure that the loads are only exerted on the round material in the direction of
movement. The use of a self-aligning rod coupler (è11 Accessories) prevents later
al forces.
Note
Movement of the round material against the clamping forces leads to heavy wear on the
internal clamping element and the round material.
Make sure that the holding force is never exceeded. Otherwise, unexpected move
ment may occur.
Make sure that the clamping unit is installed as follows:
– Operating elements always accessible
– Product fixed in such a way that it is free from mechanical stress or bending
Check if additional external safety measures (e.g. pawls or moveable bolts) are required.
Select the installation type for the desired application.
Refer to the Festo catalogue for more mounting alternatives (èFig. 5) and required accessories.

Place the clamping unit in the intended position.
Tighten screws evenly (tightening torques èTab. 1).
5.1.2 Mounting attachments
Mounting on the DNCKE
Mount the attachment component on the piston rod.
The spanner flat aJ on the piston rod serves as a counter holder
for the lock nut. If necessary, secure the lock nut with a screw
locking agent.
