Example: When it is desired to set the gripping force Gripping point L mm
at 20 times or more above the work piece weight.
Required gripping force = 0.1kg x 20 x 9.8m/s² • Selecting MHZ첸2-16D. A gripping
(approx.) 19.6N or more force of 24N is obtained from the
intersection point of gripping point
distance L = 30mm and pressure
Gripping point distance: L = 30mm of 0.4MPa.
• The gripping force is 24.5 times
greater than the work piece
weight, and therefore satisfies a
Operating pressure: 0.4MPa gripping force setting value of 20
times or more.
Model selection illustration
When gripping a work piece 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 work piece
F F m: Work piece mass (kg)
g: Gravitational acceleration ( = 9.8m/s²)
μF μF
mg: Work piece weight (N)
the conditions under which the work
mg piece will not drop are
"Gripping force at least 10 to 20 times the work piece weight"

The "10 to 20 times or more of the work piece weight" recommended by SMC is calculated with a
2 x μF > mg
safety margin of a=4, which allows for impacts that occur during normal transportation, etc.
Number of fingers

and therefore,
mg mg mg
F = ––––––– x 4 F = ––––––– x 4 F > –––––––
2 x 0.2 2 x 0.1 2xμ
= 10 x mg = 20 x mg
With "a" representing the safety margin,
F is determined by the following formula:
10 x work piece weight 20 x work piece weight
Note) Even in cases where the coefficient of friction is greater than μ= 0.2, for reasons of mg
safety, select a gripping force which is at least 10 to 20 times greater than the work F = ––––––– x a
piece weight, as recommended by SMC. 2xμ
It is necessary to allow a greater safety margin for high accelerations and strong

Calculation of allowable external force Calculation example

(when moment load is applied)
When a static load of f = 10N is operating,
which applies pitch moment to point
L = 30mm from the MHZ첸2-16D guide.
M (maximum allowable moment) (N⋅m) 0.68
Allowable load F (N) = –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Allowable load F = ––––––––––
L x 10-3 30 x 10-3
∗
= 22.7 (N)
(∗ Unit conversion constant)
Load f = 10 (N) < 22.7 (N)
Therefore, it can be used.
