2 Safety
2.1 General safety instructions
– Only use the product in original status without unauthorised modifications.
– Only use the product if it is in perfect technical condition.
– Observe labelling on the product.
– Store the product in a cool, dry, UVprotected and corrosionprotected envir
onment. Ensure that storage times are kept to a minimum.
– Prior to mounting, installation and maintenance work: Switch off power sup
ply and secure it from being switched back on.
– Observe tightening torques. Unless otherwise specified, the tolerance
is±20%.
2.2 Intended use
The intended use of the product is to grip, hold and rotate payloads (workpieces).
2.3 Foreseeable misuse
Gripping where the point of application is on the inside is not intended.
EHMD...GE: In normal operation, hitting the stop when moving in the opening
direction is not intended.
2.4 Training of qualified personnel
Only qualified personnel may perform installation, commissioning, maintenance
and disassembly of the product.
The qualified personnel must be familiar with the installation and operation of
electrical and pneumatic control systems.

5 Product overview
5.1 Functional principle
Fig. 1 Functional principle
The product is a combined rotating and gripping module. Gripping occurs in the
closing direction of the gripper jaws (point of application on the outside).
The parallel gripper can be actuated electrically (EHMD...GE) or pneumatically
(EHMD...GP), depending on version.
In both versions, the parallel gripper can be continuously rotated by means of the
electric axis of rotation.
Gripping force backup
EHMD...GP: without gripping force backup. Backup for the gripping force can
only be ensured using additional measures (e.g. uninterruptible compressed air
supply).
EHMD...GE: with gripping force backup. If the power supply is interrupted, a min
imum gripping force is ensured by the mechanical design. However, the maximum
gripping force cannot be maintained.

6.2 Mounting the gripper fingers (EHMD-40-RE-GE-16)
Fig. 4 Mounting the gripper fingers
Mounting with bracket
Gripper fingers should be manufactured to be as short and lightweight as pos
sible. Observe maximum permitted forces and torques on the gripper jaws.
1. Apply mediumstrength screw locking agent to screws 3.
2. Position gripper fingers on the bracket 1.
3. Tighten screws 3. Comply with the tightening torque.
4. Apply mediumstrength screw locking agent to screws 2.
5. Position bracket 1 on the gripper jaws.
6. Tighten screws 2. Comply with the tightening torque.
Direct mounting with centring sleeves
Gripper fingers should be manufactured to be as short and lightweight as pos
sible. Observe maximum permitted forces and torques on the gripper jaws.
1. Press centring sleeves 4 into the locating holes in the gripper jaws.
2. Apply mediumstrength screw locking agent to socket head screws 6.
3. Position gripper fingers 5 on the gripper jaws.
4. Screw in socket head screws 6. Comply with the tightening torque.

7 Installation
7.1 Pneumatic installation
Pneumatic connections
Rotatable elbow connectors with fixed flow restrictors are provided for connecting
the tubing. The product must not be operated without flow restriction. If the grip
per speed needs to be reduced further, this must be executed by external means.

integrated fixed flow restrictor
"open gripper"
2Tubing connection (QS4) with
integrated fixed flow restrictor
"close gripper"
Fig. 6 Pneumatic connection
Adjusting the gripping force
The gripping force can be adjusted by means of the external operating pressure.
There is no pressure regulator within the product.
Stroke sensing
The magnet in the pneumatic cylinder can be interrogated to sense the gripper
stroke. For this purpose, magnetic proximity sensors can be mounted in 2 of the T
slots on the cylinder. Owing to the tolerance in the lever mechanism, there is a
hysteresis between the gripper jaw position and the cylinder magnet.
