Model Selection Selection procedure Model Selection Step Confirm gripping force Step 2 Confirm gripping point Step Confirm external force on fingers Step Confirmation of gripping force Confirmation of conditions Calculation of required gripping force Model selection from gripping force graph xample Work piece weight:.5kg Gripping method: xternal gripping Model selection criteria with respect to work piece weight Although differences will exist depending on factors such as shape and the coefficient of friction between attachments and work pieces, select a model which will provide a gripping force to times the weight of the work piece. (Note) Refer to the model selection illustration for more information. Furthermore, in cases with high acceleration or impact, etc., it is necessary to allow an even greater margin of safety. xample When it is desired to set the gripping force at times or more the work piece weight. Required griping force =.5 kg x x 9.8 m/s 2 = Approx. 29.4N or more MHF2-2D 7 5 8 Holding force N Pressure.7MPa.6MPa.5MPa.4MPa Holding point L mm.mpa.2mpa 8 Length of gripping point : mm Operating pressure :.4MPa Selecting the MHF2-2D The gripping force is obtained from the intersection point of the gripping point distance L=mm and a pressure of.4mpa. Gripping force N=8N A gripping force of 8N satisfies the required gripping force of 29.4N. Therefore, the selection of MHF2-2D is appropriate. Model selection illustration F F When gripping a work piece as in the figure to the left and with the following definitions, F : Gripping force (N) : Coefficient of friction between attachments and work piece m : Work piece mass (kg) g : Gravitational acceleration (= 9.8m/s 2 ) mg : Work piece weight (N) When =.2 When =. mg F = x 4 2 x.2 = x mg μf mg Gripping force at least to times the work piece weight The " to times or more of the work piece weight" recommended by SMC is calculated with the safety margin of a = 4, which allows for impacts that occur during normal transportation, etc. μf mg F = x 4 2 x. = x mg the conditions under which the work piece will not drop are 2F mg Number of fingers and therefore, mg F 2 x With "a" as the safety margin, F is determined as follows: mg F = x a 2 x x work piece weight x work piece weight (Note) ven in cases where the coefficient of friction is greater than =.2, for safety reasons, SMC recommends selecting a gripping force which is at least to times the work piece weight. If is necessary to allow a greater safety margin for high accelerations and strong impacts, etc. 5-8
Step ffective gripping force: xpressing the effective 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 both fingers and attachments are in full contact with the work piece as shown in the figure below.

Model Selection Step 2 ffective gripping force: xternal gripping L 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 work piece gripping point goes beyond the range limits, this will have an adverse effect on the life of the air gripper.
