MHZ series

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive technical specifications and guidelines for the Parallel Style Air Gripper Series MHZ, including models such as MHZ, MHF, MHL, MHR, MHK, MHS, MHC, MHT, MHY, MHW, and others. It covers material composition, repeatability, body options, and mounting flexibility.
Specifications: The grippers are constructed from martensitic stainless steel with a repeatability of ±0.01 mm. They are available in bore sizes ranging from 6 mm to 40 mm and offer options like basic type, end boss type, and dust cover. The design emphasizes a low profile and high mounting flexibility, supporting axial, lateral, and vertical mounting.
Model Variations: The series includes compact, standard, and long stroke models, with options for double acting and single acting (normally open/closed) actions. The document details body thickness and mass for various models, highlighting improved remounting accuracy and secure mounting with positioning dowel pin holes.
Gripping Force Calculation: A step-by-step procedure is provided for calculating the required gripping force, considering factors such as workpiece mass, gripping point distance, and operating pressure. It recommends selecting a model that provides a gripping force 10 to 20 times the workpiece weight, with additional safety margins for high acceleration or impact forces.
Graphical Data: Graphs illustrate the effective gripping force for different models and pressures, both for external and internal gripping. These graphs show the relationship between gripping force, pressure, and gripping point distance, aiding in model selection based on specific application requirements.
Recommendations: The document advises selecting a gripping force at least 10 to 20 times the workpiece weight, considering safety margins for impacts during transportation. Guidelines are provided for selecting the appropriate model based on the coefficient of friction and other operational conditions.
Operational Guidelines: The air gripper should be operated within specified pressure ranges to avoid adverse effects on its lifespan. Detailed instructions are provided for confirming the gripping point for both internal and external grips.
Construction and Components: The document details the construction of the air grippers, including materials used for various components such as the body, piston, lever, and fingers. Replacement parts and instructions for ordering and assembling components are also included.
Dimensions and Mounting Options: Detailed dimensions for both standard and dust cover models are provided, along with mounting options such as side tapped and through-holes in the opening/closing direction. Information on finger options and applicable models for different port types is also included.
Key Considerations: The document emphasizes the importance of using the gripper within specified parameters to prevent damage and ensure optimal performance. It highlights the availability of various options and customizations to suit different operational needs.
Specifications for Tubing: Specifications for various types of tubing are outlined, including Nylon, Polyurethane, and Soft Nylon Tubing, with details on dimensions, operating pressure, bending radius, and temperature range.
Auto Switch Options: Various auto switch models and their specifications are listed, including types, electrical entry options, and load voltage options.
Additional Notes: Notes on auto switch installation, hysteresis, and mounting requirements are included, along with the availability of made-to-order options and the need for dust covers in dusty environments.
Mounting Procedures: The air grippers can be mounted in three directions: axial, lateral, and perpendicular, with specific requirements for bolt sizes and tightening torques. The document emphasizes the importance of using the correct mounting brackets and adjusting the mounting position based on the auto switch operating conditions.
Standards and Recommendations: Recommendations for using specified protrusion standards when mounting auto switches are provided. Caution is advised regarding the anti-corrosiveness of the linear guide section, particularly in environments prone to condensation.
Precautions: Users are cautioned to ensure the bolt's screw-in depth does not exceed specified limits to prevent damage to the switch body. The document also highlights the inferior anti-corrosiveness of martensitic stainless steel compared to austenitic stainless steel, advising caution in environments where rust might occur.
