Low profile air gripper with space-saving design

Height is approximately 1/3 the size of ■The low profile design saves space and reduces bending ■ improved accuracy with smooth • Reduced bending moment and vibration Stroke selection is available. 3 standard stroke lengths are available for each bore size. Stroke can be selected to suit the workpiece.

Improved mounting repeatability Piping is available from 2 directions Piping port position can be specified using a part number. Linear guide provides martensitic stainless steel mounting attachments With positioning pin holes Centralized wiring and piping are possible. Axial piping Side piping High degree of mounting flexibility As no brackets are required, mounting height Strong gripping force Double piston construction achieves compact design with strong gripping force.

Low Profile Air Gripper Series MHF2 Effective Gripping Force: Series MHF2 ■ Expressing the effective grip- ping force The effective gripping force shown in the graphs below is thrust of one finger when both full contact with the workpiece as shown in the figure below. External Gripping Internal Gripping

Model Selection Effective Gripping Force: Series MHF2- External Gripping Internal Gripping • The air gripper should be operated so that the amount of overhang "H" will stay within the range given in the graphs below. • If the workpiece gripping point goes beyond the range limits, this will have an adverse effect on the life of the air gripper.

Low Profile Air Gripper Seríes MHF2 Confirmation of External Force on Fingers: Series MHF2 L: Distance to the point at which the load is applied (mm) Note) The load and moment values in the table indicate static values. Calculation of allowable external force (when moment load is applied) M (Maximum allowable moment) (N m) (* Unit converted invariable number) Calculation example When a load f = 10 N is operating, which applies pitch moment to point L = 30 mm from the end of the

Note 1) Take note of hysteresis with 2-color indication type switches. When using, refer to page 471 for auto switch hysteresis.

Low Profile Air Gripper Seríes MHF2 Note 1) This is the value when no offset load is applied to the finger. When an offset load is applied to the finger, the maximum value is ±0.15 mm due to the influence of backlash of the rack and pinion. Note 2) Refer to pages 761 to 809 for further information on auto switches. Note 1) At the pressure of 0.5 MPa, when gripping point L is 20 mm.
