More Information

Overview Manuals Grip Selection Pneumatic Setup Service Checks Applications

Features:

  • Wide angular motion: Two fingers open through the documented 180-degree arrangement.
  • Double-acting control: Pneumatic pressure commands both opening and closing directions.
  • Model-specific load review: The 32 mm bore must be evaluated with real tooling and workpiece geometry.
MHW2-32D is an angular gripper, not a parallel-motion chuck.

Effective force depends on supply pressure and the distance from the finger pivot to the gripping point.

A controlled setup limits speed and proves attachment clearance through the complete motion.

  • Workpiece mass: Include acceleration and disturbance when defining the required holding margin.
  • Grip radius: Evaluate force at the actual contact distance from the finger pivot.
  • Tooling mass: Include custom fingers and fasteners in the moving load review.
  • Contact form: Design pads to locate the part without unintended wedging or damage.
  • Pressure range: Keep operation within the documented pneumatic boundary.
  • Speed control: Meter the motion to prevent impact at the workpiece or end positions.
  • Port identity: Trace opening and closing lines before reconnecting tubing.
  • Air condition: Correct contamination or water problems instead of adding unapproved lubrication.
  • Finger play: Trend looseness and repeatability before it affects part location.
  • Attachment bolts: Inspect tooling fasteners after any collision or abnormal stop.
  • Motion symmetry: Uneven finger travel points to tooling, contamination or mechanism issues.
  • Switch setup: Verify optional position detection after finger or sensor adjustment.
  • Part transfer: Opens widely around components before angular gripping.
  • Machine loading: Holds a defined workpiece during transfer when force margin is proven.
  • Fixture handling: Uses custom fingers to locate repeatable component geometry.
  • Legacy replacement: Restores a documented MHW2-32D station with matching tooling interfaces.
Description
Wide angular access is the central mechanical benefit of MHW2-32D, whose rack-and-pinion mechanism lets two fingers open around a workpiece before they approach the gripping position instead of moving along parallel guides.

The useful gripping moment from MHW2-32D changes with air pressure and the distance between the finger pivot and the contact point. Tooling geometry therefore affects usable holding capability even when the gripper body and bore remain unchanged.

A production setup for MHW2-32D must balance finger speed, attachment mass and clearance through the full angular path. Doing so turns the catalog motion into a controlled handling action without relying on abrupt end travel or collision to locate the workpiece.

Technical notes
Set MHW2-32D speed with suitable controls so the fingers do not strike the workpiece or end positions abruptly. Verify pressure, effective gripping force, overhang and attachment mass before production. Keep the mounting faces aligned, inspect finger tooling for looseness, and confirm both opening and closing motions after pneumatic service.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
MHW2-32D holds a part at rest but slips during machine acceleration. What should be recalculated?
Recalculate gripping force with friction, acceleration, external moments and the actual finger-tooling center of gravity included.
The MHW2-32D fingers strike the fixture before reaching the part. What should commissioning change?
Review finger-tooling geometry, opening angle, mounting reference and machine clearances before altering pressure or speed.
Can a parallel gripper replace MHW2-32D if its gripping force is similar?
Not by force alone. The MHW2-32D uses angular motion, so tooling path, envelope and part engagement must be redesigned.
After a minor collision, MHW2-32D closes unevenly. What should maintenance inspect?
Isolate air, then inspect finger tooling, mounting, rack-and-pinion synchronization and mechanical damage before readjusting sensors.
MHW2-32D has operated with clean dry air. Should oil be added when motion becomes slow?
No. Lubrication is not required; first check supply pressure, flow controls, contamination, alignment and leakage.
An old gripper is marked MHW2-32D but its switch and tooling details are missing. Can stores issue it?
Hold issue until the complete suffix, switch arrangement, finger tooling and machine fit are confirmed against the installed record.
