Page 21: Mechanical Connection
The system must be attached securely, taking the weight of the system and its maximum load-bearing capacity into account. Alternative flange images Alternative flange images are available on request. 30.30.01.01840/01 www.schmalz.com EN | 21... -
Page 22: Pneumatic Connection
The maximum overpressure in the gripper must be limited to a maximum of 0.2 bar. Ventilation The openings along the housing of the gripper serve as outlets for the exhaust air from the ejectors (only FXCB). In order to maintain the gripper’s functionality, these openings may not be closed or covered. Alternative hose connections Plug-in screw unions for alternative hose sizes as well as corresponding com- pressed air hoses are available on request. -
Page 23: Vacuum Connection (Only Fmcb)
The supply hose must have the same nominal diameter as the installed connection. The maximum recommended hose length is around 10 meters. For instructions on opening the housing, see chapter 8.7.

Page 24: Electrical Connection
START OF OPERATIONS AND SETUP Electrical Connection The connection for control of the solenoid valve (only FXCB) and the vacuum switch is made using an 8-pole M12 connector that is integrated into the housing. The installed valve and the valve switch are switched via PNP. - Page 25 START OF OPERATIONS AND SETUP The grippers FXCB 10.01.43.00001 and FMCB 10.01.43.00002 are PNP-switched. NPN-switched versions of these grippers are available upon request (FXCB 10.01.43.00016 and FMCB 10.01.43.00017). The NPN pin assignments are as follows: Plug Lead color Function (PNP)
