Selection Procedure
Step 1 Confirm gripping force Step 2 Confirm gripping point Step 3 Confirm external force on fingers
Step 1 Confirmation of Gripping Force

Confirmation of conditions Calculation of required gripping force Selection of model from gripping force graph
Guidelines for the selection of the gripper

Example with respect to workpiece mass MHZ2-16
External Gripping Force
Workpiece mass: • Although conditions differ according to the workpiece shape
0.1 kg and the coefficient of friction between the attachments and the
50
workpiece, select a model that can provide a gripping force of Pressure 0.7 MPa
Gripping force (N)

10 to 20 times the workpiece weight, or more. 40 0.6 MPa
Gripping method: Note) For further details, refer to the model selection illustration.
0.5 MPa
External gripping 30
• If high acceleration, deceleration or impact forces are 24
0.4 MPa
encountered during motion, a further margin of safety should be 20 0.3 MPa
considered. 0.2 MPa
10
Example) When it is desired to set the gripping force at 20 times

0 10 20 30 40 50 60
or more above the workpiece weight.
Required gripping force = 0.1 kg x 20 x 9.8 m/s2 ≅ 19.6 N or more Gripping point L (mm)
Gripping point distance: • Selecting MHZ2-16D.
L = 30 mm A gripping force of 24 N is obtained
from the intersection point of gripping
point distance L = 30 mm and pressure
of 0.4 MPa.
Operating pressure: • The gripping force is 24.5 times greater
0.4 MPa than the workpiece mass, and
therefore satisfies a gripping force
setting value of 20 times or more.
Model Selection Illustration

When gripping a workpiece as in the figure to
the left, and with the following definitions,
F: Gripping force (N)
µ: Coefficient of friction between the
attachments and the workpiece
m: Workpiece mass (kg)
g: Gravitational acceleration (= 9.8 m/s2)
mg: Workpiece weight (N)
F F
the conditions under which the workpiece will
µF µF
not drop are
mg 2 x µF > mg
“Gripping force at least 10 to 20 times the workpiece weight”
The “10 to 20 times or more of the workpiece weight” recommended by SMC Number of fingers
is calculated with a safety margin of a = 4, which allows for impacts that occur
during normal transportation, etc.
and therefore,
When µ = 0.2 When µ = 0.1 mg
F>
mg mg 2xµ
F= x4 F= x4
2 x 0.2 2 x 0.1 With “a” representing the extra margin,
= 10 x mg = 20 x mg “F” is determined by the following formula:
mg
F= xa
2xµ
10 x Workpiece weight 20 x Workpiece weight
Note) • Even in cases where the coefficient of friction is greater than µ = 0.2, for reasons of safety, select a gripping force which is at least 10 to 20 times
greater than the workpiece weight, as recommended by SMC.
• If high acceleration, deceleration or impact forces are encountered during motion, a further margin of safety should be considered.

Note 2) Through-hole mounting is not possible when using the auto switch at the square groove on the side.
Note 3) When the product is ordered with auto switch, only MHZL2-10 is shipped with the auto switch mounting brackets. When the auto switch is used at the square
groove on the side with MHZL2-16 to 25, mounting brackets (BMG2-012) are required. Order them separately. Refer to page 457 for the auto switch mounting

Adjust so that the finger opening/closing speed will be no greater than MHW
necessary. If the finger opening/closing speed is greater than necessary,
impact forces acting on the fingers and other parts will increase. This can
cause a loss of repeatability when gripping workpieces and have an adverse -X
effect on the life of the unit.
This needle is used to adjust the finger closing speed. When adjusting the
opening speed (attenuating impact during operation, etc.), use a meter-out MRHQ

Caution
Use caution for the anti-corrosiveness of linear guide section.
Martensitic stainless steel is used for the finger guide. But, use caution that anti-corrosiveness is inferior to the austenitic stainless steel.
Especially, in an environment where waterdrops are adhered by condensation, etc., rust might be generated.
