3.2.2 Gripping force
The maximum permissible gripping force depends upon the
selected clamping height. The clamping height is the clearance
between the finger fixing screws and the force point, as shown in
the figure above "Determining the clamping height".
NOTE
The actual gripping force is influenced by external factors like
clamping height, motor temperature or gripping speed. To make
sure the gripping force does not exceed a given force limit, please
measure the actual gripping force when setting up the product or
use the force measurement finger.
To operate the product without a force measurement finger, the
force is factory calibrated. The gripping force depends on the
speed and this is shown in following figure for various force values
against speed, as an example.
Influence of the gripping speed to the set of gripping force
The clamping height has also influence on the actual gripping
force.

Definition of the nominal gripping force
To determine the nominal gripping force, the product is non-
positively mounted to an aluminum plate, see following figure. The
plate itself is thermally insulated from the underlying surface. With
an ambient temperature of 22° C the product can hold with the
nominal gripping force for at least 5 hours.
