C26UE002-2109 3. Technical Information 3.1. Integrated parallel electric gripper S-series [Note 1] This gripping force is measured at a gripping point (L) of 20mm with a gripping force accuracy of ±25%. [Note 2] This gripping force is measured at a gripping point (L) of 20mm with a gripping force accuracy of ±30%. [Note 3] Moving velocity is 45mm/s.
C26UE002-2109 3.2. Parallel electric gripper X-series [Note 1] The weight of workpiece(kg) * acceleration of gravity 9.81(m/s2) should be 1/10~1/20 of the gripping force(N).If the gripper holding a workpiece moves or turns with high-acceleration/ deceleration, choose the model with higher force allowance. [Note 2] Set the parameters and operation mode to avoid application of excessive impact force to the attachments (fingers) during operation.
