General notes about the series

Gripping force
is the arithmetic sum of the individual force applied to each jaw at distance P (see illustration).

Finger length
is measured from the reference surface as the distance P in direction to the main axis.

Repeat accuracy (gripping)
defined as the spread of the actual position at 100 consecutive closing or opening movements on a rigid workpiece or a fixed workpiece stop under constant conditions.

Repeat accuracy (positioning, unidirectional)
defined as the spread of the actual position of the base jaws after 100 consecutive movements to a target position from the same direction under constant conditions.

Repeat accuracy (positioning, bi-directional)
defined as the spread of the actual position of the base jaws after 100 consecutive movements to a target position from both directions under constant conditions.

Workpiece weight
is calculated for force-fit gripping with a coefficient of static friction of 0.1 and a safety factor of 2 against workpiece slippage at acceleration due to gravity g. For form-fit or capture gripping, there are significantly higher permissible workpiece weights.

Closing and opening times
are movement times of the base jaws only, without application-specific gripper fingers. PLC reaction times are not included in the above-mentioned times and must be taken into consideration when determining cycle times.
