ranges given for each pressure in the effective gripping force graphs below. Gripping point Gripping point
• If operated with the workpiece gripping point beyond the indicated ranges,
an excessive offset load will be applied to the sliding section of the fingers,
which can have an adverse effect on the service life of the product.

Gripping Point
• The workpiece gripping point distance should be within the gripping force
ranges given for each pressure in the effective gripping force graphs below. Gripping point Gripping point
• If operated with the workpiece gripping point beyond the indicated ranges, an
excessive offset load will be applied to the sliding section of the fingers, which
can have an adverse effect on the service life of the product.

Gripping Point
• The workpiece gripping point distance should be within the gripping force
ranges given for each pressure in the effective gripping force graphs below. Gripping point Gripping point
• If operated with the workpiece gripping point beyond the indicated ranges, an
excessive offset load will be applied to the sliding section of the fingers, which
can have an adverse effect on the service life of the product.

• The workpiece gripping point distance should be within the gripping force
ranges given for each pressure in the effective gripping force graphs below.
• If operated with the workpiece gripping point beyond the indicated ranges, an
excessive offset load will be applied to the sliding section of the fingers, which
can have an adverse effect on the service life of the product.

Effective Gripping Force

• Indication of effective gripping force External Gripping Force Internal Gripping Force
The effective gripping force shown in the
graphs to the right is expressed as F, which is
the thrust of one finger when all 3 of the fingers
and attachments are in full contact with the MHSH3-80D MHSH3-80D
workpiece as shown in the figure below. 600 700

Gripping Point
Gripping point Gripping point
• The workpiece gripping point distance should be within the gripping force
ranges given for each pressure in the effective gripping force graphs below.
• If operated with the workpiece gripping point beyond the indicated ranges, an
excessive offset load will be applied to the sliding section of the fingers, which
can have an adverse effect on the service life of the product.

Gripping Point

• The workpiece gripping point distance should be within the gripping force Gripping point Gripping point
ranges given for each pressure in the effective gripping force graphs below.
• If operated with the workpiece gripping point beyond the indicated ranges, an
excessive offset load will be applied to the sliding section of the fingers, which
can have an adverse effect on the service life of the product.

Note 1) When using the 2-color indication type, please make the setting so that the indicator is lit in red to ensure the detection at the proper position of the air gripper.
Note 2) When ordering the air gripper with auto switch in MHS3-32S to 63S series, auto switch mounting brackets are required (shipped together). In addition, when ordering the
auto switch separately, auto switch mounting brackets (BMG2-012) are required. (For details, refer to page 12 of the information (13-E615).)

Gripping Point

 The workpiece gripping point distance should be within the gripping Gripping point Gripping point
force ranges given for each pressure in the effective gripping force
graphs below.
 If operated with the workpiece gripping point beyond the indicated
ranges, an excessive offset load will be applied to the sliding section of
the fingers, which can have an adverse effect on the service life of the
product.
